Buddy closes in on magical milestone
SATURDAY 4.10PM
The Sydney derby is already one of the biggest games on the AFL calendar, but Saturday’s clash is going to be bigger than ever. Both teams are looking to start the season with a win. And for the Swans, revenge is high on the agenda after last year’s thrilling elimination final loss. But all that pales in comparison to Lance Franklin, who is five goals away from the magical 1000 mark. Only five players have reached the milestone, and Buddy is one big quarter away from joining them. Good luck stopping fans from running on to the field if he does it.
