Dane Rampe

Player Profile

Dane Rampe was denied at several drafts and didn’t land a spot on an AFL list until the age of 22. But ever since being rookie-listed in November 2012, the key defender has seized his opportunity. Rampe made his AFL debut in Round 1, 2013 and played his 150th match in 2019. He’s an All Australian, an emergency for the greatest NSW team of all time and a Bob Skilton medallist, and he’s led the Swans as a co-captain with Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker since 2019. It doesn’t matter if the opposition’s best forward is a tall or small; so versatile and reliable is Rampe that he’s always assigned to the toughest task in defence. Draft history: 2013 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 37; 2013 AFL draft rookie elevation (Sydney) selection No. 90.

This week will be Great Dane Rampe's 100th AFL game*.

From a mature-aged rookie from the VFL and NEAFL to an All-Australian and a key piece of the best defence in the league in the span of 4 years

Let's hope he doesn't fall out of bed and break his arm again on the morning of the match
But in all seriousness, congrats. Awesome player and many more games to come.

A quick question, was he the first player to be drafted from the NEAFL that was not tied to a club through an academy?

Off topic!

Hopefully there will be no more mishaps and Rampe will run out for his 100th game on Saturday.

I hope someone makes Rampe run around the banner as well
