[Ziplock]

[Bill Manspeaker]

[essendon2]

fkn buddy. cow

[DT Gun]

After they farked his hammy the first time u would think they wouldnt bring him in for a crap team again

[HBTD22]

Ha. That was always gonna happen, why bring him back against the Suns? They're gonna win by 30 goals anyway... ;)

No official word yet but news coming through - as reported by Facebook page AFL Season Information, Line Ups, Match Previews & Reviews - is that:

News coming through that Lance Franklin is out of the game against the Gold Coast Suns with illness. Chance Bateman will come in. Final teams and subs yet to be announced.

How does this affect your team ? Have you got cover or does it mean a donut? Or have you already traded him?

[HBTD22]

In all seriousness though surely theres something going on down at Hawthorn thats being hidden.

[felsty]

Hope they lose by a point and don't make top 4.. That'll teach them!

[Slap]

Great.  This could cost me my elimination final.  Whitecross better have an absolute stinker.  Hopefully a massive corky or something.
