IT MIGHTN'T have been the classic we've come to expect between these great rivals, but it mattered little for the Lance Franklin-inspired Sydney Swans as they ground out a 14-point triumph over Hawthorn in an error-riddled clash on Friday night.

Despite leading from the 15-minute mark of the opening term, it took two final-quarter flashes of brilliance from Franklin (three goals) to finally seal the deal.
