It looked bad, but Im not so sure on the replay.
Anyways get real, AFL aint going to want him sidelined.
He doesnt play for Essendon so 10 bucks says reprimand!!

He probably won't get done, more for my enjoyment really. :wink: Surely at least one but they let Goodes off.

Franklin's at least was a genuine hip and shoulder with no raised elbow. Adelaide player falling to the ground prior to contact made it look bad.
Even so, hate the hawks and hate Franklin so he better go.

The high contact was with the elbow. He should go and get 2 or 3, but he'll get off, as Goodes always does. He's the AFL's golden boy.

High Contact
Negligent
Low Impact

Gets 125 points - ala Goodes.

Early guilty plea gives him 93.75 points = reprimant - exactly the same as Goodes.

Methinks they need to re-assess the number of points they allocate for "high contact".

Lets see (I haven't seen it, but...) the MRP will look at the footage and then look at the player (Franklin). They will take into consideration that Buddy Franklin is on target to kick 100 goals in a regular season (the first time since Lockett in '98), and he is probably on target for a Brownlow Medal. They will also take into consideration that he is the hottest player along with Gary Ablett in the game today. Then they will say......."Bump?.........What bump??????"

I reckon it could easily be classified as medium impact - but you're probably right...

The player that got hit (I can't even remember who it was) wasn't out of the play, got up pretty much straight away and took the free kick, hence "low impact".

I wish they wouldn't replay these incidents slower and slower each time - everythng looks 10 times worse in super slow-mo!

If this guy could kick straight he'd kick about 130 goals by the end of the regular 22 rounds. Going pretty well when you have a dirty night but still manage 7 scoring shots, and a couple other shots that go OOF or miss altogether.

Oops, he's been reported.....MRP not required.

I watched the last quarter and TBH, I was glad they won. Stuff Adelaide! And even though Buddy had a dirty night, he is one hell of a mover over the turf. f*** he can gallop!

I didnt see an elbow...it was high contact with the shoulder. He will get one week, and then get off with a reprimand...

He hardly even touched the bloke

If he gets anything it will be a disgrace after the protected one got a reprimand last week!!!

Good honest shirt front I thought. Compare that to Goodes deliberate lateral aim to the head a neck...

Was an old fashioned hip and shoulder.

He will get one i think, but he shouldn't. The hip 'n' shoulder is an integral part of our game.

KB and his soft rules comittee, KB hated the tough stuff when he played, now they are tryig to get rid of it all together.

oh, franklin is gun, arrogant, but, can talk the talk and walk the walk...i love watching him play, but hate him cos he doesn't wear the red and black
