As we all know Lance Franklin got reported on Saturday night and there's sure to be a big hoo-ha about it on Footy Classified tonight.

What's your opinion on the incident, was it soft or a well deserved report?
 
Should get a week or two I reckon.

But after the Goodes treatment last week, who knows....? ???
 
Just found out from Channel Ten that he's getting one week but with an early plea he'll just get a reprimand. He is still eliminated from Brownlow contention though with a reprimand. All the more chance for Richo to win it.
 
Stiff i recon, whoever he hit was falling down in the tackle. If he was standing i doubt weather buddy would have made contact with his head.

Correct, he was being tackled as buddy came in and falling to the ground while buddy had the momentum. doesnt deserve a suspension for that.
 
He could have lifted his elbows though, he had plenty of time for that.

All in all (eg the current head is sacrosanct climate) it's a consistent penalty, and about what he deserved to get.
 
I don't know about othrs but there's something inherently wrong about getting suspended for an accident. How do you prevent these incidents unless you just don't go for the ball if there's an opposition player near the ball as well? If Franklin wins the Brownlow, you'd have to feel a little peeved wouldn't you?
