Sydney Swans' star recruit Lance Franklin proves he can draw a crowd

If Lance Franklin expected moving to Sydney would allow him peace and space compared to the suffocating world of football-mad Melbourne, he was given a reminder that, on the field at least, he is going to draw a huge amount of attention in his adopted city.

Rusted on Swans fans might wish it was the club's array of stars that drew several hundred - some were saying more than 2000 people - to the team's intra-club hit-out at Lakeside Oval, just outside the Sydney Cricket Ground, on Wednesday evening.

If it were Collingwood, Geelong or even Franklin's old club Hawthorn, a crowd at, effectively, a training session would be par for the course. But at the Swans? They'd never seen anything like this.

Transmission towers loomed high in the air and sent back live crosses from half a dozen or so reporters before and during the game. A news chopper took footage from above of the swelling crowd, three or four deep from the fence surrounding the team's training ground.

The smell from a nearby sausage sizzle wafted across the Swans membership tent, a merchandise table and stalls of local teams looking to sign up kids. Even Ciggy the Swans mascot was there. All the big guns were deployed.

They were there to see Franklin and his new teammates go near-full tilt as part of their preparation for the upcoming pre-season clashes against GWS next week and, later, West Coast and Brisbane.

Well over the star studded storm in Melbourne.

This has nothing to do with the Storm.
Nice deflection....
A team that won the Flag Flag...2 yrs ago ,with one of the biggest names in Fumbleland,playing his 1st game for the Swans ,in the big hyped up local derby & according to the article Beaussie was creaming himself about,the CROWD DRAWER ,Media loved Bandy fartloon..,& this was the result.

The local derby has lost 21,000 attendees & heaps of tv viewers in 2 yrs.
The Swans have went backwards ,crowd & tv ratings wise in the last 10 yrs..

But go on drink the Koolaid,,everything is going great.
In fact some not in this reality derpballers think this game will rival SOO..

Jesus h Christ


FLAG..
