Now I know what the folks that boo Adam Goodes on the weekend kept themselves busy on weekdays.

The AFL have confirmed there is NO truth to the third strike rumour.
It was a hellava setback for Lance Franklin Jnr (and his partner) and a substantial issue for Sydney as injuries mounted and he remained unavailable at the exact time they needed him , which may have exacerbated his health .
Wishing you a recovery to a healthy

Where did you read or hear that?
Not long after his absence was announced. Forget where but I suspect it was on SEN.
A betting website I've never heard of has run the story.
The End for Lance 'Buddy' Franklin?Betswaps.com
As it has not been picked up by any other more "reliable" new source, I suspect it is BS and they are just trying to generate some hits/traffic for their site.
It was on Fox Footy�s AFL360 program. Here's a newspaper article about it:
'AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan is adamant there is nothing more to Lance �Buddy� Franklin�s medical problems than what has been made public.'
'McLachlan was asked on Wednesday night if he was confident that the Swans� explanation about Franklin could be taken at face value. �Yes, 100 per cent,� he told Fox Footy�s AFL360 program."'

Another reason to be confident the AFL is not covering up a 'third strike' is that Buddy was used (by pre-recorded video) to introduce the Brownlow count for the Indigenous round on Monday night. To me that indicated the AFL's support for Franklin.
The article headline states that Franklin is Contemplating retirement.
If Buddy is suffering from depression, which has been intimated, then I would have little doubt that he would have been contemplating retirement, and perhaps a lot worse. That's just a feature of the illness. The question is just whether it is a temporary condition or a permanent state of mind. He must certainly be getting the best available treatment that would give him every chance of getting back to his best. Once he's better, he'll probably joke about how he ever had such thoughts.
I wonder if this is a consequence of the racial villification of Goodes. Franklin would be feeling it too. And goodes considered retiring earlier due to the impact on the swans ( read franklin?)
I looked at the page some of the comments... interesting.
If Mitch Morton can play through it Buddy can as well
