Heard a pretty strong rumour that the AFL wants GWS to trade away the #1 draft pick as they're desperate for them to become more competitive. If they could land Franklin as a FA then trade in a star midfielder they'd be a much better side which would help them increase crowd numbers too.
Freo and West Coast have gone cold on Franklin. Freo reckon they're in the box seat for Harry Taylor which is odd. Mousey and Diggler to cry when Taylor and Franklin leave.
He's 26, turning 27 in June. I don't WC/Freo will take a 30 year old unless they get him for nothing via free agency.
