HAWTHORN forward Lance Franklin will play against North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday afternoon after accepting a reprimand for rough contact.
Franklin, who was charged for his high hit on Adelaide's Michael Doughty at AAMI Stadium on Saturday night, risked a one match suspension for a failed challenge at the AFL Tribunal.
The Hawks forward is however now out of the running for this year's Brownlow medal because the initial charge drew more than 100 points.
In other tribunal news, Fremantle's Ryan Crowley and North Melbourne defender Daniel Pratt have accepted fines for wrestling one another at Subiaco Oval on Saturday afternoon.
North Melbourne skipper Adam Simpson has accepted a reprimand for striking Crowley in the same match, while Richmond midfielder Shane Tuck has accepted a $1950 fine for making contact with an umpire.
