HAWTHORN has dodged a major bullet with news that forward Lance Franklin received only a reprimand for dangerous contact against Adelaide's Michael Doughty on the weekend.
The controversial match review panel has dealt ambiguous verdicts in the past for similar incidents however the Hawks can rest easy knowing their star-man is clear to play against North Melbourne on Saturday.
North skipper Adam Simpson also evaded time on the sidelines thanks to a previously clean record.
Collingwood though were dealt little fortune with forward Travis Cloke ruled out of next Sunday’s blockbuster against the Bulldogs following a level-two striking offence on the weekend. |
