AFL – Sydney Swans superstar Buddy Franklin (pictured)  is back at training after three months away from football.

A fit and healthy looking Franklin, who was one of a number of senior to begin pre-season training says the time he took away from the game to deal with a number of health issues was the best thing he could have done.

Franklin hasn’t played since round 23 last year and revealed at the time that he’d been battling depression after being diagnosed with epilepsy.
