The only player in the last 15 years to kick 10 goals at two different clubs and win a Coleman medal in a Premiership year. He's kicked 40+ goals for the eleventh year in a row. He still hasn't been held goalless in a final.
Lockett winning multiple colemans at the Saints and Swans is the only comparison I can think of in recent times (the AFL era). Big achievement. Lockett arguably achieved that in lesser sides, and won a Brownlow as well one year, but Franklin's highlight reel is stupendous.

4 Colemans
6 soon to be 7 All-Australians
10 club leading goalkickers and counting
2 flags
B&F in a premiership year (a 3rd, 5th and 6th in runner-up years, 4th in a prelim year)
On track for 300 games and 1000 goals (269 games, 856 goals)
Not to mention that past accolades and stats, he's just an amazing footballer to watch. Some of the goals he kicks are unreal, late in games from 50 to bring his side back in it or runs down the wings - 2 goal of the year wins already.

Without a doubt will be inducted as a legend in a couple of decades.
