"I was lucky enough to be with Hawthorn in some pretty good years. You know, when Lance Franklin went to Sydney, we were sad to lose him. But an interesting thing happened: We became this team that nobody could really predict where the ball was going to inside 50," Fagan told the ABC last week.
"Whereas, when Lance was there — because he attracted the ball — it went to him so often. So we became a little bit easier to pick off."
"So I've always had that lesson [of Franklin's departure] in my mind and trying to help us create that forward line where we have multiple targets," Fagan added.
