I reckon we will - there is conjecture whether the rule that Franklin is being judged by has actually been ratified. If it has not, he is being unfairly judged by a rule that, in essence, is not yet an official rule, and therefore, cannot even be tried using that rule as part of the criteria.

Doesn't work on the AFL, but in a court of law where the AFL doesn't hold all the cards...

Footy is getting ruined by bloody soccer mums, I hate it, Bring back the toughness, Feel for Buddy, MRP are so inconsistent. Bombers will probably win now.

And yet I bet you think Rance deserved to get off for his DOG ACT of punching a guy being held down by three others.

Oh and Jeff said it would be churlish to go to Supreme Court... FU Jeff... should have taken this all the way... especially since its okay to punch Buddy in the face, but he gets rubbed out for accidental contact.

I don't agree with the verdict but why not lets just say the two weeks are for diving and playing for the free.

And taking it further when all they have done is apply the rules they have put in is fruitless. Courts apply the law not the sentiment of fans.

The Rules may not have been correctly applied as required by the AFL guidelines... therefore the new rule 19 may be invalid and the old one, Buddy would be free.

That's what they may have been able to fight in a court... but they are not going to, and we are going to get raped by the umpires tomorrow as punishment for standing up to Vlad and his fixing of the game.

I wouldn't be near as livid if Rance had of got what he deserved - but the AFL have said incidental contact gets you suspended, deliberate dog acts you can walk away.

How soft is this sport getting 2 weeks for that is riduculous. The way this game is going I think well be watching Lawnbowl's for some action.

Nah Jeff said it would be Churlish to take it to court, so they will let the AFL Continue to mistreat Buddy (it's not about the suspension, but his treatment as a whole - see my above post re rance's cheap shot).
