Lance Franklin is not a Collingwood player, and therefore will have to serve his 1 week penalty.

I don't think it's that funny, the concept of Franklin getting away with this because he is tall, if a little shrimp did the same thing, and actually had to lift the shoulder to make the head high contact, then it looks worse, and I think would get more weeks.

time will tell.

whilst Franklin is not a Collingwood player he would bring an extra 10k worth of fans in that Bombers game and we know what the tribunal are like to players who have big games ahead of them(Barry hall)

Cannot believe the argument was to apportion part of the blame to Cuz because he slightly fumbled the ball  ::)

Disappointing in a way but the correct decision based on what the rules now say

Is the rule correct? I don't think it is but as they "thems the rules"

Buddy had no chance. Everyone knows the rule whether you agree with it or not. If you're going to bump then the onus is on the player to not make head high contact. Laughable of Hawthorn to contest based on blaming Cuz  ::). What a pathetic defence  :stupid.

Still it doesn't help us get back a blind freddy free kick, double goal, and our best player that wrecked a competitive game :banghead. Thank you umpires!  :banghead

According to the rules it is correct.
Is it correct for footy as a whole. Of course not.
Hypocritical. Of course it is remember Nick Maxwell in Feb.

One point I'll make according to the law should Rance and Selwood have been suspended earlier in the year since the contact was

a) Forceful
b) To the Head.
Rance missed games because of this.

Adrian Anderson has alot to answer for. The genocide of football as we knew it.
The Adolph Hitler of Football Operations. The Bump has been Aushwitzed.

so the head cannot be touched hey, even if its incidental

the next time fev goes for a huge mark and uses his kne in the back of someones head lets see if he gets reported for that
but no, it was because he was going for a mark that rules change

buddy did nothing wrong and if it were richo we would have the pitch forks out

this game is stuffed

Buddy could have got out of that one! He knew well and good what he was doing.
That said it takes away from the essence of the game (The suspension) and don't agree with decision  - but anyway, suck poo poo Buddy and Dawkers - Have a big cry ....

Hope the bombers hand you one Saturday - May even pop in ....

He could have tackled but instead he chose to bump Cousins. The result was serious damage to Cousins which meant he could take no further part of the game. Even if he had of just braced himself to protect himself he probably would have avoided suspension but he lifted he followed through with the motion to effectively strike Cousins.

Whether you think it is soft or not I'm happy with the decision and would have been disappointed if Buddy had got away with it just because he is a media favourite. If it had of been Richo bumping Judd the media would have been calling for blood. Just hypocritical.

Go Dons!

Buddy should stop wasting his and the tribunal's time if he's appealing based on a "flaw in law".

Marking contest is different

Bumping to the head is illegal.

Its the rule. You can kick someone in the face if it's in the action of marking.

If you elect to bump you must hit them lower then the neck. Its the same as tackling, but its reportable.

Plain as black and white.
