Star Swans Lance Franklin and Dan Hannebery returned from three weeks on the sidelines but showed no signs of rust in Sydney’s 59-point win over Fremantle on Saturday night.

Franklin returned from a bruised heel as Hannebery shook off a groin complaint for the percentage-boosting SCG win.

Franklin notched his 300^th Swans goal in a bag of three for the night and complemented his milestone with 19 touches, while Hannebery gathered 22 possessions and continually put his head over the ball.

Swans defender Jake Lloyd said the impact the returning stars had was massive.

“They are two fantastic players for the Club,” Lloyd said.

“Buddy down forward really attracts those key forwards for them and that allows the younger guys like Tommy McCartin and Tommy Papley to sneak around and get those goals.

“He’s a very important player and Hannebery is another important cog in the midfield with his run and the way he uses the footy.

“It was good to have those two back and it was good to get the win on the board.”

Franklin’s 300^th Club goal came at the three-minute mark of the third term when he burst on to a Callum Mills kick and nailed a left-foot snap from a set shot in the right-forward pocket.

The former Hawk reached triple figures with his second goal of the night and in the process joined Sydney and St Kilda great Tony Lockett as the only men in VFL/AFL history to kick 300 goals for two clubs.

Franklin turned to the lower tier of the Churchill Stand, clenched his fist and let out a deafening roar as he brought up his triple-ton.

Lloyd was all praise for the four-time Coleman Medallist.

“I’m grateful to be coming off the backline and having him hit up at me,” Lloyd said.

“He’s a phenomenal player and you sit back in awe sometimes at some of the things he does.

“For him to get that accolade is super special and he’s been a super player for us and I’m sure he’ll keep doing it.”

The Swans kicked three or more goals in every quarter and finished with a flurry of six in the last term.

They led by 33 points at half-time but continued to pile on the pressure in the premiership quarter in a four-goals-to-two display.

Lloyd said it was important the Swans kept the foot on the pedal for the duration of the game.

“It’s great to get a win at home and the way the boys fought it out was awesome,” Lloyd said.

“It was a bit of a slog there early. We try to play four quarters of footy every week. We probably let a few easy goals slip late in the game but it was good to sew it up early and stamp the foot in the third quarter and play some good team footy.”
