    Lance Franklin From today's Age: 'Tigers' 'major' draft concerns: RICHMOND has voiced "major concerns" about the impact of Gold Coast draft concessions on some clubs, saying it could create an English Premier League scenario in which few teams can win the premiership over a period of years.' Imagine if someone like Lance Franklin came along and we missed out on him because of the concessions for the new Gold Coast club. Wouldn't that be unfair. Last reply 26 May 2009

    • DannHawk:   Richmond (lol).... No words required. 26 May 2009

    • TigerBalm:   Selecting Tambling over Franklin was the right call. Finding medium sized half back flankers who average around 12 posessions a game is a difficult job. Players like Franklin come and go every year. 4 Sep 2008

    • dena:   Blimey Fingers.. have you got any concept of sarcasm? stating the opposite of an intended meaning especially in order to sneeringly, slyly, jest or mock a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony. Do you see now Fingers what I did with my gag? I used.. what for it.. sarcasm in a humorous or jesting way. Pretty clever huh! 4 Sep 2008

    • Fingers:   But Dena, Richmond could've had Lance Franklin. Instead they chose to take Richard Tambling as their first draft pick... 4 Sep 2008

    • B Man:   Richmond would be much better of working out how to actually get some value from their list I would have thought. Do they really want to be commenting on the draft and selection? 3 May 2008

    Lance Franklin brendon fevola is so much better than buddy, if u stick fev in hawthorn and he would kick twice as much goals with a midfield like that, if u put buddy in a carlton team he would kick 50 goals max Last reply 26 May 2009

    • DannHawk:   Fev wears a bib. And, he wouldn't be welcome at Hawthorn, as he isn't a team player! Buddy! 100 Goals 2009! 26 May 2009

    • MickTower:   You're the only joke t-bird. Lance Franklin is miles ahead of fev. If Franklin just kicked like Fev he would have kicked 150 goals this year. He's also a very modest footballer, unfortunately the same can't be said for Fev. 16 Sep 2008

    Rick Ladson im a hawks man and adament that Rick Ladson is too slow, too small and too untalented to be an off the bench backpockket type player for the cellar dwellers, let alont a rotating midfielder in a premiership side. He doesnt even have youth or 'developing player' status on his side anymore. We won in spite of him and the sooner Clako realizes this the better The blokes a prime CHOP Last reply 13 Nov 2008

    • hdogg:   Rick Ladson is a Champ!!!!! If you were a true hawks man u wouldn't be dropin a chop on in integral part of this years premiership side!!!! Truly how closely do u watch hawthorn matches?!?! Do u not see the countless amount of unrewarded running he does from setting up attacks from defence then pushing hard forward & being in position to be used from the attack which he started only not to be used, he has a massive engine! He has a deadly left foot thus the reason why he is one of the designated kickers! Buddy kicked the goal 2 win the final v the crows @ the dome in 07 but who was the player that treaded the eye of the needle thru several crow defenders to hit buddy lace out..LADSON! He may he what in AFL terms may be considered a light frame, however he is rarely beaten in 1 on 1 contests & can play on both small crummers or much bigger opponents. He is good @ ground level, is strong over head & very rarely makes the wrong decision under pressure! Couragous - did u not see vs west coast in 05 when he backed back with the flight of the ball knowing full well that a west coast forward would be coming flat out behind him on a hard lead & not for 1 2nd did he flinch! Since recovering from the serious arm injury suffered from that act of courage he has only missed 6 games averaging 24 possessions, been in the clubs leading tacklers, averages 3-4 inside 50s 3 goal assists been top 10 b&f twice (& 12th this year), so not too bad for someone u consider a chop! Oh did i mention who kicked the sealer in this years premiership win um ah oh gee oh yes that's right it was RICK LADSON. Clearly you don't watch hawthorn games closely enough & should be delighted with every player that delivered that clubs 10th premiership for the mighty brown & gold. Think you better go & enjoy a chop on the bbq rather than labeling "one of ur own" a chop! hdogg 13 Nov 2008

    • MickTower:   You have to give Dew credit. He's proven there's still a place for the big fat full forward in AFL. Tom Lonergan should consider jumping on Dew's meat pie conditioning program over the summer in order to put on the much needed 50 kg that would enable him to take a contested mark. 29 Sep 2008

    Zac Dawson Zac Dawson - I think poor old Zac is up 'Dawsons Creek' without a paddle. His career started with a thud with some big bags kicked on him early on and he has retreated to the Box Hill reserves ever since.
