IF you're a North Melbourne supporter, look away now.
For those of you left, remember the day Hawthorn superstar Lance Franklin re-wrote the record books slotting 13 goals in a Kangaroos cull at Launceston?
It was Round 10, June 2 2012 to be exact.
Buddy had six to half time, 10 at the last change and a career-best "THIRTEEEEEEN" by the final siren.
Relive the memorable rout in an Australian TV first, Fox Footy has joined forces with Franklin to tweet using hash tag #Buddy13 during a one-hour highlights package to be screened tonight on Channel 504 from 8.30pm (AEST).
Franklin will provide commentary via his Twitter account @buddy_franklin on one of his most memorable performances, with the tweets published on-air allowing fans to read and react in real-time.

“I’m really looking forward to viewing the game again and sharing what I was thinking as the game unfolded," Franklin said.
"Hash tag #Buddy13 will hopefully create some great conversation. It’ll be fun and a bit different."
Franklin's previous best effort was nine, a feat he achieved twice against Essendon in 2007 and 2008.
The big left-footer has 558 career goals including four bags of eight and a seven in his glittering 175-game career.
Fox Footy broadcaster Anthony Hudson will also contribute to the broadcast and social media interactive using the @FoxFooty handle.
