Hawthorn star Lance Franklin will face the club's leadership group next week as they weigh up how to punish the forward for losing his driver's licence for six months for speeding.
Franklin, 25, was booked by police for travelling at 90km/h in a 50km/h zone, handed a fine of $599 and docked six demerit points on Thursday.
The star forward was driving along Hodder St, Brighton when he was caught speeding by the Moorabbin Highway Patrol.
"Hey guys I truly apologise for speeding there are no excuses for it I'm a bloody idiot !!!!," he tweeted on Friday morning.
The Hawks' punishment for the Coleman Medal leader, who is expected to be sidelined for another fortnight with a hamstring injury, will be discussed next week.
Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson said on Friday the Hawks were delaying dealing with the matter to avoid distraction ahead of their blockbuster clash against Collingwood on Saturday.
Franklin has kicked 51 goals this season and is a critical part of Hawthorn's premiership aspirations.
