Re: Lance Franklin
Not a bad career I guess.
Now which big name forward do they throw the kitchen sink at? After Capper, Plugger, Hall & Buddy to name a few.

Yes they've probably got a fair bit of cap space left

More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Lance Franklin
Reckon he's been my favorite player to watch across my time watching footy. Pure excitement

Re: Lance Franklin
When he was absolutely tearing us a new one in the 2008 QF, I was still smiling. He just made footy good to watch.

Re: Lance Franklin
One of the all time greats, without doubt. Last player to kick 100 in a season and might be the last for quite some time

Re: Lance Franklin
Loved watching him play and do his stuff except when he was kicking bags on us, still have nightmares from the eight he slotted in the 2008 Qualifying Final. Gee whiz he destroyed us that night. That was only his fourth season too.

Naughton.
Franklin what a joy to watch. Even thinking of Cale Hooker slowly dying makes me smile.

Re: Lance Franklin
someone found this on Twitter - check the date
Retweeted Cale Hooker @Hooksy26
If Buddy goes to Sydney surely they will stop showing that replay of me chasing him down the wing?!
