AFL champion Lance ’Buddy' Franklin calls end to career
Lance Franklin’s decorated AFL career is over. The Sydney Swans superstar has retired, effective immediately and his club will officially announce his departure on Monday afternoon.
“After coming to the Swans as a 26-year-old in the prime of his life, he leaves as one of our most-loved players to run out in the red and white. He is an out-and-out champion, and we wish him and his family all the very best for the future.” “We wish him, Jesinta, Tallulah and Rocky all the very best for the future. They will always hold a close place in the heart of our club.”Franklin will leave the Swans as one of the most decorated players in the history of the game, as one of only six players to kick more than 1000 goals in the VFL/AFL.
The COLA allowance gave the Giants and Swans an extra $1 million in their salary cap, this – in theory – helping the lower-paid players at the clubs deal with Sydney’s cost of living.
