Buddy chaos after goal 1000

As mentioned in the previous story, Buddy Franklin's 1000th career goal and resulting pitch invasion was the pinnacle of chaos but also beauty.

It's something that fans have had to wait for since Buddy's 100th in 2008, and boy did it not only live up to but exceed so many of the supporters' hopes.

A milestone that is unlikely to be hit anytime soon by current key forwards and made Franklin only the sixth player ever to kick 1000 majors, Buddy's goal will forever go down as a major part of AFL/VFL history and will live long in the memory of anyone that got to be a part of it.

The pitch invasion and reaction were not only a celebration of Buddy's milestone but of the mercurial forward's remarkable career in full as he enters the final stages of it.

In case you wish to relive the moment and ensuing chaos, enjoy the video below.
