I want to stay at Hawthorn Lance Franklin lauching his new range of "Buddy" Boots. Hawthorn's mega-star forward Lance Franklin has for the first time stated a desire to stay at the club, adding that he is comfortable sticking to a timeframe of making a decision on his future at the end of the 2013 season. Franklin has reportedly been offered up to $10 million over six years to join Greater Western Sydney as a free agent, with the Hawks countering with a five-year offer described by president Andrew Newbold as the biggest in the club's history. Franklin booted eight goald two weeks ago against Essendon. At the launch of a new range of casual fashion boots on Wednesday, the 26-year-old gave the strongest indication yet that he hopes to extend his career in brown and gold into a 10th season and beyond. I want to stay at Hawthorn. I love the footy club, they've been a great football club for me for nearly nine years," Franklin said. That's where it stands at the moment. To be honest, you can't say it hasn't been a distraction. It has been a little bit. But it is what it is. At the end of the day I've made my decision to leave my contract to the end of the season, and that's the way it stands. But I'm sitting comfortable with it at the moment and just looking forward to the end of the season and playing finals football, and hopefully we can win it. There's not much I can do with that. The president's come out and said what he's said and the club has too. They've put the offer to my management and myself. At the end of the day, it comes back to my decision, whatever that is. We'll just wait and see at the end of the season.
