          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

                  What a superstar.
                  More of an In Bruges guy?

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

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

                              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

                                  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.

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