now that Sheeds has confirmed Lance is on the shopping list, how much could we justify offering him? I'll go for $120k p/a on a 3 year contract.

What's he done to get that much?!

It would break the hearts of Hawthorn fans, about the only justification I can find.

Although, to get a player across from another club, you normally have to pay more than their worth.
 
I've heard $800,000 over 3 years. He rejected Hawthorns $200,000 a year contract so it would have to be more than that.
 
At 23 years of age he's definitely better value than Campo. Hopefully fitter too!

30/1/87 - sorry about that. 23's actually his jumper - can he fly like Michael Jordan, or turn a game like Shane Warne?
 
There are times where you need to take a risk or two and i reckon Franklin is one we should seriously look at.

Lots of talent and potential but hasn't done much so far.

I would offer him 350K over 3 years and try to lure him with the dollar.

A million dollar contract! You think he's as good as Hird!

No.. not even close to Hird.

1 Million over 3 years. It's a risk I'd be willing to take. That extra 50K might get him and his manager thinking a bit more. A million dollars might sound pretty good to a kid that's 19.
 
The title of the thread is what's Franklin worth.
What players are worth and what you have to pay to get them are 2 different things.

Hes probably worth about $150-200K py but will probably need to offer about $250 - 300K py to have a chance i would think.

Does any one know if he is happy at Hawthorn?

I believe he's fairly happy playing at Hawthorn, but the kid thinks he's worth more than he is. He'd probably be happy to leave Hawthorn is he got the right offer (as you said around $250,000-$300,000 over 3 years).

Once he looks at Hawthorn's two year offer worth $400,000 and then looks at our 3 year deal worth $800,000-$900,000 he'll jump on board very quickly.
 
I'd offer him a 3 year deal worth $250,000 a season for the first 2 years, with the chance to earn bigger bucks in a 3rd season if he performs at a very good level over those 2 years.
 
do we actually need him? he plays CHF yeah, johns,lucas,laycock,hille, lee, bolton and bradley i thought would of covered his position.. correct me if im wrong, but i wouldnt give up much.. prefer aker any day
