Distinguished and Famous people from Dowerin
🏅 Lance “Buddy” Franklin
Lance Franklin grew up in Dowerin before boarding at Wesley College and entering elite football. His later AFL career made “Buddy” one of the game’s most recognisable forwards, but the local Tigers remained part of his beginnings. In 2026 he returned to play for Dowerin in the Mortlock Football League, drawing national attention to the country ground. For a town used to sending talented young players away, the occasion briefly reversed the journey: the celebrated footballer came back to the club where his story began.
