Buddy worry for Swans over Magpies clash
August 10, 2015 3:00 PM
SYDNEY Swans coach John Longmire will be sweating on the availability of star forward Lance Franklin for Friday night's crucial clash with Collingwood against the SCG.
Franklin missed last week's disappointing loss to Geelong with a back injury, the same issue that caused him to be a late withdrawal from the Swans round match against West Coast in Perth.
He returned to the side to face Adelaide a week later but was noticeably stiff and sore, with Longmire admitting after the match that Franklin should not have run out against the Crows.
Longmire said Franklin was determined to play against Adelaide to support his good friend Adam Goodes, who had taken personal leave to deal with the constant boos of opposition fans this season.
The coach admitted it was impossible to tell if the three-time Coleman medallist had done himself more damage by playing under duress.
"It probably didn't help him – obviously if he'd missed that game he would have been feeling a bit better the week after, but you don't really know that at the time," Longmire said on Monday.
"We were confident going in (to the Adelaide game) that he'd be feeling OK, and he kicked three goals and played quite well for us.
"It's not until afterwards when you're looking in the rear vision mirror that you understand that he was a bit sore during that game.
"It certainly impacted on his ability to play last week."

Mark LeCras can accept 1 game, rough conduct JFrawley. Adam Cooney referred directly to Tribunal – no early plea – rough conduct SConiglio.
Matt Crouch cleared contact Trent Cotchin - contact made with open hand and the force used was below that required for a report.
