No one can stop Buddy


In a 8 goal performance at Aurora Stadium, Lance Franklin showed he is the dominate Forward in the AFL at the moment. Playing on one of the best Full Backs in the game, Franklin dominated the game, as he slotted home 8 goals from Full Forward.

His team kicked away from the Crows in the 3rd quarter to produce a 54 point against the Crows in their Round 4 match. Franklin and Roughead stole the show after half time, booting 11 goals between them, and showing that Hawthorn are certainly in the running for this year's Premiership.
It was a inaacurate day for the Crows however, and their famous Goal kicker, Stevens only managed to put on major through the big sticks. However, Captain Simon Goodwin found his range, as he booted 3 goals for the visitiors, while upcoming star Chris Knights kicked 2.
But overall it was a miserable day for the Crows when Franklin let loose after half time.
22,461 at Aurora Stadium is a good crowd in Launcestorn. But it was certainly Hawthorn's day today as they soared away with a big win in the end.

You know Hawthorn are a very good side. They have some power house Forwards in Roughead and Frankling. There midfield is top notch with Hodge, Sewell, Crawford, Birchall, and their backline is steady, with Croad, Guerra and the likes, they will certainly be hard to beat this year i rekon, as they should challenged the likes of Geelong and Collingwood for the Premiership, said the Crows Coach Hayden Sumner.
