Lance Franklin was revealed recently to have been carrying a heel injury from round 1 this year which has severely restricted his ability to train. He has also been carrying the Sydney forward line for much of the year with big injuries to key talls around him. Both problems show no signs of easing up, though this evening he goes up against the Collingwood defence which is even more banged up than the Swans attack. His battle with Darcy Moore will go a long way to deciding the game, and his fantasy owners - about 25% in salary cap comps - will hope he fills up.
