Incident Assessed:
Contact between the Sydney Swans’ Lance Franklin and the Western Bulldogs’ Jackson Macrae from the third quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed.
Macrae receives a handball from teammate Matthew Boyd and is preparing to kick as Franklin approaches him.
Franklin comes to the contest with his arms out to tackle and makes high contact as Macrae disposes of the ball.
It was the view of the panel that Franklin’s actions were a legitimate attempt to tackle and were not a reportable action.
No further action was taken.
