Could be a new and exciting scene in "Franklin - The Movie" with a central role no-one anticipated!
LANCE Franklin continues to firm for a fairytale Brownlow Medal win after a purple patch of form since Round 13.
Campbell Brown, who played with Franklin in Hawthorn?s 2008 premiership side, yesterday said the left-footed roaming forward was in the best form since that 113-goal year.
?We have seen patches of that 2008 form in recent years but not consistency. Now we are seeing contested marks above his head and those goals that only Buddy can kick,? Brown said.
?I have spoken to him a few times and he loves Sydney. He feels now like he did in his early years at Hawthorn, just enjoying life, kicking goals, contributing to a winning team. And he does the flashy things that umpires like.
?You would think he has had five or six best on grounds this year and if that?s the case he might be up near 20 votes. The Richmond game, Port Adelaide, Adelaide, Fremantle and Giants games are five that spring to mind, plus last Saturday night against Carlton.
?He can poll well in the Brownlow although Josh Kennedy will make it hard for him."
