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.
