And on Sunday, the wife of the Sydney Swans star, Jesinta Franklin, 30, shared a sweet photo of daughter Tullulah, two, looking at a newspaper photo of her dad.
The image posted to Instagram Stories showed the toddler gazing upon a front page image of Buddy’s historic kick.

She captioned the photo: ‘Dadda’s kick is all we’ve heard about today’.
The day before, the model shared adorable photos to her Instagram of Tullulah cheering on her father at the grounds.
The tot looked cute as a button in a Sydney Swans jersey with ‘daddy’ emblazoned on the back, as Jesinta revealed to her fans how proud she is of her husband.

Posting on her Instagram page, Jesinta shared a sweet snap of Buddy, 35, in the locker room carrying Tullulah on his hip, while also joined by his sister Bianca.
In her caption, Jesinta revealed how Bianca flew in from Los Angeles especially for the occasion, and praised her husband for his ‘hard work’ over the last 18 years.
‘I’ve listened to stories from Bud’s parents and sisters of his passion and dedication to football from a young age and last night was a true testament to the hard work that has gone in to not only over the last 18 years of his career, but everything that happened before that that led him to this moment,’ Jesinta shared online.

‘Being able to celebrate that with family was such an amazing moment. Love to everyone for all of your beautiful messages. I’ve said everything to Bud in person so I’ll just leave it here and say that I am just so proud.
‘Looking forward to spending the day with our family and friends, I am finally going to have a Champagne! I couldn’t manage more than a sip last night,’ she concluded.

Power couple: Jesinta and Buddy dated for almost four years before tying the knot in 2016
One mirror selfie taken from an elevator and time-stamped at 12.44am on Saturday morning, saw Tullulah asleep as they headed home following the milestone match.
Jesinta and Buddy, who married in 2016, are also proud parents to 11-month-old son Rocky.
Tens of thousands of Sydney Swans supporters swamped the Sydney Cricket Ground in celebration on Friday when Buddy booted his 1,000th career goal in top-flight AFL.
Buddy became the first player in 26 years, and the sixth overall, to reach the landmark figure when, late in the final quarter, he slotted in his fourth goal of the night from 40 metres.
