Shane Mumford has apologised to Sydney star Lance Franklin for the Giants ruckmans sledge during Saturdays AFL qualifying final.Mumford said he rang Franklin, admitting that it was a poor choice of words, and added that the Swans spearhead had taken his apology on board.Mumford is said to have taunted Franklin with good to see youre not on holidays this year - an obvious reference to the star Swans forward missing last years finals series because of a serious mental health issue.I just gave him a phone call to apologise if Ive over-stepped the line (and) hes taken my apology on board, Mumford told the Giants website.Obviously with mental health being such a serious issue, it (was) really not a good choice of words.Hes happy to move forward from where we are now.Earlier on Tuesday, Swans midfielder Dan Hannebery said Franklin did not want the controversy surrounding Mumfords sledge to go any further.Ive spoken to Buddy briefly ... he sort of wants it to be done with, Hannebery said.You encourage people to come out and speak of mental health. Its a serious issue and is something as a footy club, and that the AFL, want to encourage people (to) get help.It hasnt really been spoken too much amongst the playing group, but personally I wouldnt go there.Asked if his old teammate Mumford had crossed a line with his alleged sledge of Franklin, Hannebery said: I wouldnt do it, Im not going to say whether he crossed the line.Its not something I believe is the right thing to do especially when someone shows the courage to speak up about an issue, something that is very serious so therefore I wouldnt go there.Hanneberys teammate and midfield colleague Josh Kennedy was reported as saying sledging the Giants Lachie Whitfield, over an AFL investigation into an allegation he evaded a drug test, wasnt off limits.Theres too much stuff going on to worry about sledging Lachie, Hannebery said.He was able to shed some humorous light on sledging, a practice he doesnt find time to indulge in during a game.Theres so much going on around you, youve got so many other things to focus on in terms of the way were playing, the way the opposition are playing, Hannebery said.Me personally, I havent got any time. I havent got the IQ to start sledging blokes but certainly theres a lot of guys out there, (doing it) he said.(Giants back) Heath Shaw is actually one of the best. Hes actually quite amusing to listen to out there.He said a few funny things on the weekend, but everyone is different.My thing is to worry about what were doing. Cheap Rangers Jerseys .
