first of all, he may well have. He's had some great finals for Hawthorn (not that anyone's going out of their way to say that)

It seems every year the pundits say this, and by definition these pundits are admitting the Sydney Buddy hasn't so far, for one reason or another

Will it change?

Franklin has played in 5 final series where he kicked 10 or more goals in the series. 07,08,11 & 13 at Hawthorn {all 3 games}(10,11,11,10) and 12 goals at Sydney in 2014.{3 games} 7 goals last year. {4 games} A great series would demand 15+ goals. I'd love to see him do it, but I see no reason why its likely to happen this year.

Franklin a good chance if the Swans go deep into the finals campaign, near on averages 8 shots a game when playing Essendon. Even early this year when he was held goalless he 7 shots on goal.
