Lance Franklin's bombshell development over his playing contract beyond this season has left his future somewhat uncertain.
Having been offered $500,000 to stay at the Swans beyond 2022, Franklin is wanting between $700,000 and $800,000 to play on next season, threatening retirement or a move to a third club if Sydney do not upgrade their offer.

2. Fremantle Dockers
Fremantle are also crying out for a key forward, or at the very least some players to add to their tall stocks. While Rory Lobb and Matt Taberner have been solid talls up forward, Lobb is in negotiations for yet another trade, while Taberner has been battling injuries, leaving the Dockers a little thin.
Superstar Demons ruckman Luke Jackson has been continually linked to a trade to Western Australia, with Fremantle potentially expected to fork out a fair stack of cash to facilitate it. However, if that deal doesn't go through, the club could be financially poised to pick up Franklin.
While Franklin, who is nearing his 36th birthday, won't offer the longevity that Jackson could, he could be the spark that Fremantle need to propel them over the line to flag (if they don't get up this season).
Franklin's wife Jesinta has previously stated the family would be willing to move interstate, with Franklin's family based in Western Australia.
