“Playing with Bud, you’re in awe every day at training or in games, seeing what he can do.' It’s basically Logan McDonald’s entire job to watch Lance Franklin’s every move as closely as possible. | VinceRugari
It’s basically Logan McDonald’s entire job, at this very early point in his AFL career, to watch Lance Franklin’s every move as closely as possible, ask him as many questions as he can and absorb all the answers.
“That’s a question that goes unasked,” he said. “He’s making the decision that’s best for him, and he has that right. Everyone’s very understanding of that at the club and there’s no pressure whatsoever on him to make any sort of decision. He’s been a fantastic player for this club, and still is. I hope he stays, but whatever happens, happens.”
“Just watching him and learning from him, he’s been so helpful with me. The way he reads the game, he’s so smart. He really wants to see me succeed, and he’s really happy for me when I have some sort of success or good moment in a game. I’m always learning off him, whether that’s about body work or leading patterns, or smarts, or the way he looks for moments in games to take over is something that I really look up to. I’m just going to keep learning as much as I can.
Both teams come into Sunday’s clash unchanged and in top form. A crowd of more than of 40,000 is expected, depending on how many SCG members turn up. Sydney hasn’t seen a game like this in years, and McDonald definitely hasn’t in his short time at the Swans.
