If the co-captain doesn't make the trip to Perth, the Swans will take on the Dockers without two of their best midfielders, with reigning club champion Luke Parker (broken leg) already missing.

Gold Coast rallied in the second quarter and kicked six goals of their own with big forwards Charlie Dixon and Tom Lynch finally getting their hands on the footy, but they still trailed by 22 points at the half time break.
In an extraordinary third quarter of mediocre football Dixon and Franklin put forward their nominations for miss of the season, with the Sun not scoring from a snap from the goal square and Franklin spraying one wide running into an open goal from 30 metres out straight in front.
