Dermie's impact was no where near the level of impact of Franklin's. Dermie is one of our all time greats and a top bloke. But Buddy's first final stands alone.

That goal average is quite impressive
2005 - 1.1
2006 - 2.2
2007 - 3.3
2008 - 4.4??
Wouldnt that be nice to see 22 games at a 4.4 goal average (97 goals)
That would shut up those tools calling him inconsistent

I can't see him getting the same amount of goals with Willo up forward. Maybe he will play up the ground a bit more in 08 and win a few more posesions.

Exclusive to AFL BigPond Network
No.6: Essendon v Hawthorn, round six, MCG, second quarter
THE MATCH wasn't a nail-biter, nor was it at the business end of the season, but Hawthorn's Lance Franklin-inspired 35-point win over Essendon in round six was impressive for another big reason.
'Buddy' booted nine goals for the game in an outstanding performance and his electrifying second term was one of the best individual efforts of the year.

Goodes: Franklin's a top player
06 February 2008 Herald Sun
ADAM Goodes vividly remembers his first extended encounter with "Buddy" Franklin.
Talent: Adam Goodes (front) and Lance Franklin.
It was the at the MCG in Round 9, 2006, when the Sydney Swans star, on his way to his second Brownlow Medal, found himself alongside the then teenager with the growing reputation.
"I had a bit of a field day that day, but I knew there was something about him," Goodes said this week.

Well few would doubt the natural ability of Lance Franklin in the Hawks forward line and he proved during the finals last year that he is going to be a superstar of the competition. It is going to extremely tough in 2008 for “Buddy” he will be getting the treatment that Jonathan Brown from the
Brisbane Lions gets, in terms of double and triple teaming him. This is where the other forwards need to be smart, the likes of Jarryd Roughhead (2nd in the goal kicking) and Tim Boyle (3rd in the goal kicking) can have a field day if defenders are going to apply this tactic to Franklin. The key is for the Hawks midfield not to be to “Buddy” conscious in the way they move the ball into the forward line. Don’t forget Mark Williams, who is expected to be back in full training by January, will come back in the line up as well. Quite a potent forward line don’t you think?

Buddy is reported for wrestling in the NAB Cup quarter final against Carlton at the dome, Saturday 23.02.08. Buddy also sat out the entire second half after the Hawks blew the Blues away with a dominant 1st Quarter.
This is the 2nd NAB Cup that Buddy has played. Note: NAB Cup forwards have been Buddy, Tim Boyle, Mark Williams and Cyril Rioli. No sign of Roughead, Thorp or Dowler at this stage.
Three Hawks reported
Author: Jen Witham
11:27 PM Sat 23 February, 2008
HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson wasn’t surprised by the three reports that marred his side’s NAB Cup quarter-final win over Carlton on Saturday night.
Clarkson conceded it was disappointing to end the match with three of his players in the umpires' book, after Campbell Brown (charging), Josh Kennedy (making forceful contact) and Franklin (wrestling) were all reported.
"That's always a danger when you're playing NAB Cup games but you've got to put yourself in competitive environments; you can't just go into the season opener with no pre-season practice games," he said.
"You're exposed to the element, and you put 26 competitive beasts out there against an opposition. From time to time, you're going to cross that fine white line.
"We'll see what the outcome of that is throughout the course of the week, but it was a little bit of a downer."
Clarkson was pleased with his side's explosive first half against Carlton, as it enabled him to inject valuable game time into his younger players.
He was able to leave Lance 'Buddy' Franklin, Sam Mitchell, Grant Birchall and Stephen Gilham on the bench for extended periods in the second half, after the Hawks amassed a 52-point lead by half time.
"We're really pleased with the way we played for the greater part of the first half, and in the second half, the risk is you're perceived as being arrogant, but it gave us a great opportunity to play some of our younger players," Clarkson said, after the eventual 34-point victory.
"They made plenty of mistakes, but that's what it's about at this level and we're really pleased with the outcome of the game.
"To play so well when the whips were cracking early in the game and to get the opportunity at that level to expose so many of our younger players on our list was really pleasing for our club."
Of the younger players, Cyril Rioli and rookie Cameron Stokes both caught the coach's eye, with Clarkson applauding the way the pair managed to fit in with the forward structure.
"They've both had real good blocks of training over the last three months since they've been at the club, and they apply a lot of forward line pressure, which is good," he said.
"It's not just about them getting their hands on the ball and kicking goals; they apply an enormous amount of pressure when the opposition does get the ball, and try and rebound it out.
"I was really pleased with the contribution those two guys made in particular, but our whole forward line with 'Buddy' and Mark Williams and Tim Boyle and Michael Osborne, and Hodgy (Luke Hodge) when he was down there early, applied a lot of pressure to the opposition, which was really good."
The Hawks will now play the winner of Sunday's Adelaide-Fremantle clash next Saturday night, with the match to be held at either AAMI Stadium or Subiaco.

Pressure on Lance Franklin and Hawthorn defence
Mike Sheahan
March 13, 2008 12:00am
HAWTHORN has finished 14th, 11th and sixth in Alastair Clarkson's first three years at the helm.
Five wins in the first year grew to nine in the second then 14 last year, including one in a final.
It makes for an impressive graph.
The question now is whether Clarkson's group is ready to take the smaller yet infinitely tougher step into the top four, the platform for a genuine premiership tilt.

THE way blokes celebrate after kicking a goal these days drives me nuts.
I don't mind a celebration of a goal when it means something to the team, but I draw the line at acting like Jesus Christ Superstar when your team is 70 points up.
That is exactly what Hawthorn's Lance `Buddy' Franklin did time and again during his team's demolition of Melbourne on Sunday.
