What will Buddy get?

[Agent 86]

There is a better assessment here from Lloyd:…

Seemed like a much smarter take on it than Dermie. Too many elbows to his thick head there.

TBH, maybe a week off would not be a terrible outcome.

[Thunder Shaker]

The ball switch from one hand to the other kind of gives it away

We will see if the committee takes that into consideration when grading the incident. It will either be a significant fine or a week off. If he's out, one of the Macs can take his place.

As I said earlier - and I have watched it again - the ball switch is reasonable caution as he prepares to hit the ground.

Does anyone else remember the elbow Chris Judd swung into Matthew Pavlich? Couldn’t allow the Brownlow favourite, and eventual 2010 winner, to be rubbed out though. The AFL is not known for consistency, or fairness.
Having said that, Buddy should get a week, and a “rest” won’t hurt him as we approach the finals.

Agree. He deserves a week for the flying elbow and a week's rest will do him no harm and give Mcdonald
or McClean a needed hit out.

And one week it is

One match sanction for Franklin

[Faunac8]

Is it wrong to be happy he was suspended for a week ? To be honest it would have been more preferable to have this happen in a couple of weeks but I don’t think it’s going to have as much impact as previous absences.

Rampe also got fined $2000 for 'tripping' Michael Walters. Missed that incident.

Yes

What will Buddy get?

I’d like to know how Buddy’s hit is graded ‘medium’ impact and Shuey ‘low’. This seems like the grading was used to get the outcome.

The Swans won’t appeal with the early plea in place as it’s not worth the risk. [Edit: or is it one week either way - in which case, maybe they would.]

[Mel_C]

To be fair, Dermie was having a very bad hair day that day. The lockdown is really hurting him.

Lol even my mum said that his hair looked shocking.

[bodgie]

A week off is not so bad given he hasn't had a 'rest' for a while. He seems to have played many more games than I was expecting given the early conservative predictions for his year.

Lance Franklin, Sydney Swans, has been charged with Striking Luke Ryan, Fremantle, during the second quarter of the Round 19 match between the Sydney Swans and Fremantle played at Metricon Stadium on Sunday July 25, 2021.

In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct, Medium Impact, High Contact. The incident was classified as a one-match sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

I wonder if Bud is able join his family in quarantine now?

Hard to keep training in a hotel room with 2 little kids, even if it were allowed, which I'm sure it's not.
