HAWTHORN goalkicking ace Lance Franklin is out of Friday night's qualifying final against Sydney unless he can overturn a one-match suspension.
Franklin was hit with the one game penalty for rough conduct against Swan Nick Malceski in Sydney last Friday night.
He will risk missing another final if he challenges at the AFL Tribunal tomorrow night and fails to convince the jury to either downgrade or throw out the charge.
WE CAN WIN WITHOUT BUDDY: HAWKS
WEEK 1 FINALS BAROMETER
IF YOU DON'T MIND, UMPIRE
The bump was assessed as negligent, medium impact and high contact - a total of 225 activation points.
Franklin can cut that to 168.75 and a one-match ban by pleading guilty before 11am Wednesday.
He had no carry-over points despite a lengthy rap sheet.
While Hawthorn has won 11 of its past 12 games without Franklin, only three have been against top-four sides.
Franklin's captain Luke Hodge has been fined $1950 for making contact with an umpire.
The panel also assessed an errant elbow by Franklin that bloodied the nose of Swans defender Heath Grundy.
The panel deemed the contact to be incidental and as a result of Grundy hanging on to his arm as he led for the ball.
Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson is confident that he has the personnel to replace Lance Franklin,with the forward at risk of missing one or more matches for his bump on the Sydney Swan's Nick Malceski.
In other incidents from Round 23, Essendon's Jake Melksham will sit out the first two rounds of next season for a forearm to the face of Richmond's Daniel Jackson.
His penalty was impacted by a poor record.
And Saint Leigh Montagna was handed a one-match ban for striking Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley.
Brisbane defender Matt Maguire can accept a reprimand for striking Geelong forward Steve Johnson while Demons Jack Viney, Jordie McKenzie, Max Gawn, Colin Sylvia and Dean Kent face fines for taking part in a melee along with Bulldogs Will Minson, Lachie Hunter, Jordan Roughead, Ryan Griffen and Jarrad Grant.
Toby Greene, Matt Priddis and Sam Jacobs were also fined for making contact with umpires in Round 23 matches.
