Thank you Joe.
To say I was "dubious" when the deal was done is probably being very generous to me. I could not believe that we would be able to collect on our investment beyond 3-4 years and that would see us crippled by the salary cap for a further 5 at best.
I was wrong in so many ways. Franklin is a phenomenon. He was great for Hawthorn and I remember the match at the SCG he won for them in the second half as being an amazing exhibition of his unique talent. Little did I realise that this was what we could come expect from this champion of the game.
If he never sees out his contract, it doesn't matter as you've already pointed much more eloquently than anything I might write he is "Priceless".
Thanks once again, Joe.
