Lance Franklin will buck a recent trend if he can kick a big bag of goals in Saturdays AFL grand final against the Western Bulldogs.The only players to have kicked five goals in a grand final in the past decade were his former Hawthorn teammate Jarryd Roughead in 2014 and Geelongs Cam Mooney in 2007.One has to go back to 1997 to find the last player to kick more than five in a season decider.Darren Jarman kicked six in Adelaides win over St Kilda, while a year earlier the games most prolific all-time goalkicker, Tony Lockett, booted six in a losing cause for Sydney against North Melbourne .Its very rare that you get a big key forward kick five or six goals (in a grand final), said former key forward Barry Hall, who kicked a total of five goals in his three grand final appearances, with a best effort of three.You dont get the traditional forwards kicking big bags of goals and winning the game for you.Its just a different game of footy.Franklin has kicked ten goals in his four grand final appearances, a lower strike rate than his career average of over three a game.Buddys best goal efforts in season deciders were both in a losing team.His kicked four for the Swans against the Hawks in 2014 and his next highest tally of three was for Hawthorn against Sydney two years earlier.Conversely, he kicked just one and two in victories over Fremantle and Geelong in 2013 and 2008 respectively.Franklins 80-goal campaign has pushed him up ten places in the all-time goalkicking list headed by Locketts 1360 majors.Hes moved up to 12th spot with 786, having this year overtaken the likes of Hall, Wayne Carey, Peter Hudson and Stephen Kernahan.If he can fulfil the six seasons remaining on his Sydney contract. Franklin could well become just the sixth man to kick 1000 goals, needing an average of around 43 a year to reach four figures.However, Locketts tally, which is starting to develop the unattainable aura of Bradmans Test cricket average of 99.94, looks safe as Buddy would need to average 95 a year to catch Plugger.

SEATTLE -- Matt Shoemaker turned his head just enough to avoid taking Kyle Seagers 105 mph line drive square in the face, then stumbled before falling to the infield grass.That was probably the scariest thing Ive ever seen on a baseball field, Seager said.Shoemaker was hospitalized with a small skull fracture and small hematoma from the line drive during the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.Shoemaker was struck on the right side of his head with one out in the second inning, getting his face out of the way but failing to get his mitt up in time to stop the hard-hit ball.After the game, the Angels announced that a CT scan revealed Shoemaker suffered the small fracture and hematoma. He was to be seen by a neurologist and remain in Seattle overnight for observation.It just gives you that feeling where you have a pit in your stomach, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.Shoemaker was down for several minutes and bleeding from the spot where he was hit. Teammates knelt around the mound and Seager anxiously watched while Shoemaker was tended to. Shoemaker never lost consciousness.He was tended to in the Angels clubhouse for a short time before being taken to a local hospital.The fact of the matter is he was conscious and at least all his reactions were what they were supposed to be on the assessment. I think we could exhale a little bit, Scioscia said. Just to get him up and walking off the field let you feel a little bit better about what could have been happening. Its tough.Shoemaker is in his third full season with the Angels, emerging as a rookie in 2014 when he went 16-4 with a 3.04 ERA. Hes struggled at times this year but went into Sundays game having won his last three decisions.I had a good view of it and when you see it square someone up like that its scary, Angels catcher Jett Bandy said. First thing first, you forget about baseball and you think about his health.Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning and six relievers combined to shut down Seattle after Shoemaker was struck.Pujols hit his 29th homer of the season off Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma (14-11) witth two outs in the first and Cron followed with his 15th home run moments later.dddddddddddd The Angels hit seven first-inning home runs in the three-game series.Pujols added an RBI single in the sixth inning off Iwakuma, and Andrelton Simmons had an RBI single in the eighth inning off reliever Dan Altavilla. Iwakuma went seven innings, giving up eight hits and the three runs.After Shoemaker walked off the field with trainers on both sides, the Angels leaned on their bullpen. Deolis Guerra (3-0) was the first of the relievers to enter, followed by Jose Alvarez, Mike Morin, Cody Ege and JC Ramirez. Robinson Cano hit his 31st homer off Ege in the sixth and Nelson Cruz hit his 35th in the eighth off Ramirez, both solo shots.But that was all the Angels allowed, and Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth for his first save.Those guys all went out there and took the ball and did a great job, Scioscia said. Your thoughts are elsewhere at that point until you can understand exactly what is happening with Matt.PLAYOFF PICTUREThe Angels took two of three in the series, providing another damaging blow to Seattles fleeting postseason hopes. The Mariners have dropped seven of eight with AL West-leading Texas coming in for a four-game series starting Monday, likely Seattles last opportunity to get back into the wild-card race.ROSTER SHUFFLESeattle added depth to its overused bullpen by activating RHP Drew Storen and recalling LHP David Rollins on Sunday. Storen had been sidelined by shoulder inflammation, and the pair gives manager Scott Servais a few more options for the later innings with Seattles starters struggling to get deep into games of late.UP NEXTAngels: Jered Weaver (10-11) makes his 27th start as the Angels open a series in Oakland. Weaver got the win in his last start against Cincinnati.Mariners: Felix Hernandez (9-5) looks to rebound from one of his worst outings of the season as Seattle opens a series against Texas. Hernandez allowed six earned runs in four innings in a loss to the Rangers last Wednesday. ' ' '
