Overview edit

Following speculation throughout the 2013 season, Lance Franklin announced on 1 October 2013 that he was going to leave the club to join the Sydney Swans on a nine-year, multimillion-dollar contract as a free agent.[1] Hawthorn subsequently received pick 19 in the AFL Draft as compensation, despite the club requesting a higher draft pick from the AFL.[2] The club also traded Shane Savage to St Kilda, receiving Ben McEvoy in return.[3] In March, draftee Dayle Garlett resigned from the club, citing homesickness and being unable to cope with the demands of AFL football and training.[4]
