    Buddy Brownlow Blow?

    I didn't see the incident but the herald sun today makes mention of an incident where buddy catches macrae high with a swinging arm and the fact he has carry over points. Did anyone see the incident and does he have anything to worry about? 2 week suspension would see him miss a final.

            Looked like it went straight across the chest to me, no head or neck contact.

              It was a beautiful hit. Completely legal.

                All clear!
                Contact between the Sydney Swans' Lance Franklin and the Western Bulldogs' Jackson Macrae from the third quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. Macrae receives a handball from teammate Matthew Boyd and is preparing to kick as Franklin approaches him. Franklin comes to the contest with his arms out to tackle and makes high contact as Macrae disposes of the ball. It was the view of the panel that Franklin's actions were a legitimate attempt to tackle and were not a reportable action. No further action was taken.
