Franklin to decide AFL future AFL News Breaking News Sport National Sport September 28, 2013 - 10:18PM The AFL's multi-million dollar question will be answered early next week when Hawthorn star Lance Franklin decides his future. There is widespread speculation that Saturday's grand final win over Fremantle will be his last as a Hawks player. The two-time premiership player now is a free agent and Greater Western Sydney are ready with a godfather offer, a contract understood to be as long as six years. As expected, there was no mention of his future on Saturday night at the club's celebration dinner. "I will sit down with my manager on Monday or Tuesday after we finish having a party with the boys and work out what we are going to do," he said. I wouldn't say it's easier to leave (after winning a second premiership with the Hawks). Hawthorn have been a massive part of my life and my career and it's made me the person I am today. I absolutely love the club. His future has been a major AFL story since February, when Franklin decided to put a decision on hold until the end of the season. Franklin, 26, has played 182 games since his 2005 debut and the two-time Coleman Medallist is one of the biggest names in the game. He had 18 disposals and kicked a goal in the grand final win over the Dockers, playing further up the ground and regularly using his strength in close. Franklin was emotional in the rooms post-match as he paid tribute to his family and Hawthorn. I can't explain it ... my parents mean the world to me, my mum, my sisters everyone here today to support me. The fans, all the boys, it's unbelievable," he told Fox Footy. All the football club has been a massive part of me, and I love them.
