Hawthorn finally broke their Gabba hoodoo on Saturday night, registering their first win in Brisbane since July 2000. While the Hawks had many significant contributors, it was once again, the No.23 in the (white) brown and gold who stole the show.

Lance Franklin showcased his endless arsenal of party tricks disposing of three opponents on his way to a match-winning haul of 8 goals.

As the expectations for both Franklin and the team grow week by week, it is only natural we speculate as to what the remainder of 2008 holds.


How many goals will 'Buddy' finish the 2008 season with?

Which team and player(s) are best equipped to stop Franklin?

How many will 'Buddy' kick against Richmond on Sunday?
