When a forward finishes third in the best and fairest for a side that struggles, it’s some effort. Following on from a breathtaking 2008 season when he kicked 113 goals, Franklin was subjected to scrutiny at times last year, but his pre-season was hampered by injuries, his scoring opportunities were limited and he spent more time up the field. He still slotted 67 goals, fourth in the AFL, and his general conversion rate improved from 56.22 per cent in 2008 to 59.22 per cent last season.

Draft history: 2004 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Hawthorn) No. 5 overall.
