The Finals - Week 1 (Merged)

Interesting exchange between Harvey and Scarlett at the end of the game. Scarlett came up to Harvey, shook hands and then said something to Harvey after which offended Harvey. Mackie seemed to apologise to Harvey but Harvey was pissed off.

Looked like Scarlett may have made a cheap shot to Harvey.

Anybody who expected anything different today had rocks in their head.
 
Went to both Melbourne finals
Agree with JB re Franklin he is superstar and just enjoy watching him, worth the ticket alone on Friday to watch him.
On the other hand and I cant remember his performance in other finals but they said on the radio before the match Nick Riewoldt has never been in the Saints best players in the finals, yesterday he did not add to it
 
I think Franklin is the best player I've seen. Kicking aside, what he brings to the game and on the big stage, no ohter player has done it like him. Ablett runs a close second, but Franklin has got so far to go, its a decade of dominance ahead.
 
I've only ever seen Franklin play against the tigers -- and against the superstar defence of Kel /WillyT and Lace-Out he's not looked that great

Ablett is clearly better IMHO.
 
Senior, hellenic tiger was talking all time best player. Jnr has to play at his current level for a fair while yet to be regarded in those terms, but then so does Franklin.

Poor old Greg Miller enjoyed being "the man who recruited Carey" for many years.

Now the schmuck is going to be known as the man who missed Franklin.

Buddy's doubters should just accepts his superstardom and watch and appreciate. He is the next Carey, and could end up being better. Just look at his record in finals!
 
You just have to look at him one on one, he clearly beats his opponent. He might kick 1.6, but I can guanrantee you, that the defender he played against would know Buddy towled him up.

He kicked 1.6 against us the first time.

He blitzed last year against adelaide on the big stage and on friday he took the bullies apart. Lake aka Harris had him beat at times but Franklin still found a way to come back
