Only one?  Like WP said, it seemed like it was Intentional, High Contact, High Impact - lots of activation points in that!  Only mitigating factor was that it was in play.

Does no-one understand the rules of our game?

You can not make contact with a blokes head under any circumstances.... (Unless the player ducks the head)

Absolutly none, zilch, zero.

Are you all actual AFL umpires? Lack of knowledge of the rules suggest so. lol

This is the easiest rule in football, contact to head = free kick.

Think the only other black or white rule in our game is No tripping rule.

The funniest thing I've ever read on this forum = Franklin is taller he's allowed to bump little guys in the head.

Stupidest thing I've ever heard. Ever.


Ever.....



ever.

I would have thought Maxwell's was worse (Pre Season vs Eagles) but somehow he got off?

I think Franklin has a case to object but the rules state that it's an illegal bump.

I thought it was funny today that on SEN they were saying that Cousins ran into Buddy!!??!!

Cousins had the ball, Franklin was chasing him and decided on a bump rather than a tackle.

Just read the MRP report - they called it negligent contact, not deliberate and medium contact!

A hit like that is a tone setter for the game and a statement of intention.

As a player I wouldn't have given a shiczenhausen about the rules to nail someone like that.

Here's the MRP report....

Lance Franklin, Hawthorn, has been charged with a Level Two engaging in rough conduct offence against Ben Cousins, Richmond, during the third quarter of the Round 21 match between Hawthorn and Richmond, played at the MCG on Saturday August 22, 2009.

In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
 
The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points resulting in the classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record.

An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction.

Important game this week for the Hawks. They need to beat Essendon to make the finals.
If they challenge the one week suspension and lose they'll be without Franklin in the first week of the finals, if they were to win this week.

Tough decision. I hope they suffer in their yellow with a brown stripe jocks.

Agree Daniel

Its what happens when Monkey's are given power..

Franklin and Maxwells bumps both weeks worthy. Yet Maxwell somehow gets off. Well so should Buddy. But whats the point of having the rule if its not enforced....  :lol :lol :lol
