Franklin Reported

[Beaussie]

We didn't get the game up here in Sydney and I haven't seen any footage. Will he be rubbed out?

hey beau i just saw the buddy franklin hit on fox the replay and he should be gone 100% for ATLEAST 2 weeks! but then again if he is a little AFL pet like goodes and gets away with murder they might let him off!! LoL but if its anything like mcglynn and burgoyne then he is gone for all money because it was no different than any of those.

LOL, what is it with non Swans fans and their constant claims that Goodes is a protected species? Jealous he doesn't play for their team I reckon.

Anyway back on topic, after seeing the footage, I think Franklin will be ok and wont be rubbed out. Then again, who knows what will happen at the tribunal. It can be so unpredictable. Yes, I thought Goodes would have been rubbed out for at least 2 weeks. Thankfully that wasn't the case.

another case of a protected player getting away lightly!! i dont think he cares about being in the race for the brownlow anyway coz how often will a full forward win it?

*shakes head*

What really burns me up is that now that yet another contender for the Brownlow is ineligible - they go and bring up the "fairest" aspect again and eliminating it.

If you do the wrong thing, you aren't playing fair!!

What will it take to get that through some thick skulls out there in the footy media (stony stare at "On The Couch") that if you do the wrong thing, that's the bloody penalty!!
