The four-minute package, easily found on YouTube, is a selection of his 10 top goals at the time.
For anyone other than the unfortunate defenders he turns inside-out, sprints away from or out-marks, it is compulsive viewing.
There's the elite contested marking, the huge range he had across the ground, the raking left-foot kick.
It highlights Franklin's ability to seize the big moments, with Exhibit A his match-winning goal from outside 50m for Hawthorn in the 2007 elimination final against Adelaide.
No.1 on the list, of course, is the sprint down the wing, with Essendon's Cale Hooker in hot pursuit, on that June night in 2010.
Hooker was no slouch, but he was powerless to stop Franklin kicking the most freakish of goals from the boundary line, on the wrong side for a left-footer.
It was judged goal of the year.
When he was "on", Franklin was unstoppable.
But at 36, after 354 AFL games at Hawthorn and Sydney, two Hawks premierships and 1066 goals, Franklin's creaky legs have made it clear that the show is over.
Like any good show it had its low moments and controversies, but at some point in the next decade Franklin will surely join Graham "Polly" Farmer as an Indigenous legend in the Australian Football Hall Of Fame.
Just as Franklin lit up the game on the field, he also had a massive impact off it
Taken at pick five in the 2004 draft, he was one of the main reasons why Hawthorn returned to power under coach Alastair Clarkson.
He was the richly talented Indigenous kid from WA, nicknamed "Buddy" by his family to differentiate him from his father, Lance Sr.
By the end of 2012, Franklin was one of the AFL's top players.
But his future at Hawthorn had become uncertain and Clarkson famously sprung an off-season visit on him while he was holidaying in Las Vegas to discuss what would come next.
The popular thinking through 2013 became that Franklin was going to GWS - only for Sydney to famously win his services instead.
In a landmark deal that stunned the game and caused plenty of rancour, Franklin joined the Swans on a nine-year, $10 million package.
One of the key reasons Franklin wanted a move to Sydney was to be with his model girlfriend, Jesinta Campbell.
They married in late 2016 and have two children.
For all the glory and the good life, Franklin has had his struggles. He missed the 2015 finals series because of a mental health issue.
He is a study in contradictions. A rock-star personality on the field, Franklin had fans invading the SCG pitch en masse when he kicked his 1000th goal last season.
Franklin had a reputation for loving the nightlife when he was younger, but in person he is a much quieter figure than his playing exploits - and his outsized manner on the field - would suggest.
On Monday, "Buddy" the brilliant did not front his own retirement media conference.
But the video highlights speak for themselves.
