HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson is not concerned that star forward Lance Franklin failed to kick his 100th goal of the season against West Coast at Subiaco Oval on Sunday.
Franklin booted four goals to three-quarter-time but failed to get the last two majors needed to get him to the ton.
Clarkson said the milestone would not prove to be a distraction for his side when they play Carlton at Telstra Dome.
"It's not a big fuss for us," Clarkson said.
"It'll happen when it happens and it's more than likely going to happen next week now."
"We're just keen on making sure our ball movement and our patterns of play within the structure, the way we want to go about things (is good) and whoever gets on the end of the ball forward, they've got the responsibility of kicking the goals."
"From our point of view, we just play and when he gets the goals he gets the goals and if he happens to get on the end of them great, but we're more interested in Hawthorn kicking the goals than just one player."
"We know he generates a lot of shots on goal, he had another eight or nine shots on goal today and kicked four. One particular day he's going to have a day out, but hopefully our side has a day out as well when that happens."
