Sydney Swans’ star Buddy Franklin takes out the trash outside his Sydney home

Buddy Franklin takes out the trash outside his Sydney home – after returning from Queensland following the Swans’ final game for the season

He returned home to his wife, Jesinta Franklin, and their daughter, Tullulah, in Sydney after the Swans played their final game for the AFL season last week.

But on Thursday, Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin looked less than pleased to be on rubbish duty as he hauled a large bin outside his Rose Bay home.

The 33-year-old footy star showed off his tattooed arms in a beige T-shirt as he took out the trash.

Buddy completed his casual ensemble with black shorts and a pair of beige sandals.

The sportsman recently returned home from Queensland after the Sydney Swans were ruled out for the remainder of the AFL season.

However, Buddy didn’t play a match in 2020 due to being sidelined after sustaining a hamstring injury.

Last month, it was revealed the Swans were temporarily relocating to Cairns due to fears over the spread of coronavirus in NSW and Victoria.

Jesinta stayed behind in Sydney for work commitments.

On September 6, the mother of one was forced to celebrate Father’s Day weekend without her husband, who was locked down at an AFL hub in Queensland.

She posted a photo to Instagram of her Swans star husband pushing Tullulah’s pram, alongside a bittersweet Father’s Day tribute.

Jesinta captioned the image: ‘Happy 1st Father’s Day @buddy_franklin23 . So sad we can’t be with you today, we are sending lots of virtual cuddles via FaceTime.’

‘Big love to all the other families who can’t be together today x,’ she added.
