AFL champion Lance Franklin has once again got the Hawthorn faithful spinning. At the end of 2013 Hawks hearts were broken when their beloved megastar shocked the football world and headed to Sydney on a monster $10 million deal. Now, as Hawthorn and the Swans prepare for a MCG clash on Sunday, Franklin is in Melbourne to watch the game ... and he rolled into his original club’s home base at Waverley Park on Saturday morning.
While another said: “Actually bring a tear to my eye.” And another: “Good to see the kids in Hawk colours.” “This is Special,” said another. Even fans from rival clubs loved the pics. “Coming from a Cats fan. That is a great photo. To have him back at the club is a very special moment. One player you loved to watch play.” On Sunday Franklin will appear at the Hawthorn president’s pre-game function, and then he’ll be speaking to members and the fans on the big screen at half-time.
