= LANCE FRANKLIN FACTS!!!!!!!! =

=== 2007: In 2007 Lance Franklin kicked 63 goals which put him third in the goal rankings for 2007. Also in Round 21 against The Western Bulldogs Lance kicked a record of 11 behinds with his 2 goals. Only Jack Titus and St Kilda's Dave Mcnamara Have kicked more behinds in a game without managing more than 2 goals. However, despite his inaccuracy Hawthorn still won the match.===

=== 2008: In 2008 Lance Franklin kicked 102 goals receiving the Coleman Medal. He also kicked 9 goals against Essendon in round 11, which was his highest goal kicking score in 2008. Franklin kicked his 100th goal for the home-and-away season against Carlton in round 22, becoming the first to kick 100 goals in the AFL home-and-away season since Tony Lockett in 1998, and the first Hawthorn player since Jason Dunstall in 1996, to reach 100 goals in a season. Upon him reaching the milestone, several thousand supporters stormed the field and formed a massive huddle around Franklin, who was shortly ushered off the field into the change rooms until the ground had cleared. Prior to the match, the AFL had warned of a $6000 fine for every individual who jumped the fence; evidently this was not a concern for the thousands who did just that. He also was the first aboriginal player to achieve this. He then added to that by kicking another eight goals in the qualifying final against the Western Bulldog s, tying with Dermott Brereton for the most goals kicked by a Hawthorn player in a finals match. Hawthorn went on to win the Grand Final and the Premiership, and while Franklin did not play a large part in the Grand Final, he received the Peter Crimmin's Medal (Hawthorn's best and fairest) a week later for his consistent and high-level season.===

=== 2009: Lance Franklin missed the 2009 NAB Cup after going surgery on his thumb and shoulder following Hawthorn's Premiership. He played his 100th game of the 2009 season against St Kilda at Aruora stadium in Tasmania. During the game one of Lance Franklin's teeth fell out during a marking contest between the forward and Zac Dawson. After Round 21 2009, Lance Franklin was suspended for 2 games as a result of a hip and shoulder against Richmond's player Ben Cousins. The Hawks appealed the decision, but the appeal failed. As a result, Lance Franklin missed Round 22 against Essendon, which the Hawks lost and as a result missed out on the finals, causing Lance Franklin to miss Round 1, 2010. ===
