7th Intake Athlete Profiles - No 29 Lance Franklin
Lance, or 'Buddy" as he is known, played all 3 games of the recent International Rules Youth series in the HFF/FP rotation. But Lance went and took the game on all over the field, the only constraint on his movement was the boundary line and at times that was not enough to stop him. He was aggressive, won heaps of possessions, chased and tackled, and backed courageously into marking contests.
He definitely got the Australian team going at times with his tackling and with sheer individual brilliance.
