ANALYSIS
Franklin is one of the more senior players in Footy these days and taking a week off would probably suit his long-term interests best on his road to becoming the top scorer in history. He's kicked 40 majors in 15 games during the 2021 season.

Saturday's matchup postponed
Franklin and Sydney won't play Saturday against Essendon after the match was postponed, Mitch Cleary of the AFL's official site reports.

Franklin will be available in Round 20 after his one-match suspension was overturned, but the teams will have to wait to play due to COVID-19 concerns in Queensland. The two clubs are hopeful that they'll be able to play this weekend, but whether they'll be cleared to do so remains to be seen.
