LANCE Franklin halted talks on a new contract despite being warned by his manager of its potential to hurt Hawthorn.
Liam Pickering said he was giving Franklin his "100 per cent support", but also said he had walked the superstar forward through the pitfalls.
"I went through all the pros and cons of it and I explained to him what happened last year with Travis Cloke and the effect it can have on a football club," Pickering said.
"I feel for the Hawthorn supporters. No one out there (is) trying to upset the supporters or the club.
"Buddy Franklin is committed and contracted to Hawthorn and is going to do his very best for Hawthorn right up until October 31 while he's a Hawthorn player and more than likely beyond."
Pickering, speaking on SEN Radio, stressed no rival clubs had approached him about poaching Franklin.
"The only club I've spoken to is Hawthorn," he said.
"I can assure you I have not spoken to Adelaide, I have not spoken (to) any of them, I haven't got an offer from another club.
"Hawthorn are right in the box seat here, let's not make any bones about that.
"I wouldn't be super concerned if I was a Hawthorn supporter. Gary Ablett was in a much different situation with Gold Coast coming in and Tom Scully and Callan Ward and the like."
