The Sydney Swans confirm Lance Franklin will be unavailable for this Sunday’s match against Hawthorn after accepting a one match suspension for rough conduct.

Franklin’s bump on the Gold Coasts Sam Collins in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s match was deemed careless conduct, medium impact and high contact by the MRO.
