[T2B_]

Did not look good

 

[HTPunter]

Tribunal visit incoming. 5 weeks the AFL starting point I’d expect.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

He'll be lucky if its 4. Season over for him

 

[parano1a]

Looking forward to 57 uses of the "Houston, we have a problem" soundbyte across various footy media in the next week

 

[maskmcgee]

Will be at least 5.

 

[marcus1232]

Closest thing to Webster hit in Simpkin.
Lined him up intentional with the sole purpose of taking rankine out
Despicable act.
Despicable umpiring not paying a free
6 plus

 

[Ash1337]

Needs to be 5 weeks at least. Was a classic bump with 0 care and Rankine was actually knocked out.

 

[CrowToon]

Should be 15.

Bureaucracy will get it down to 10

 

[WheelAndDeal]

Must be 6 weeks minimum

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Footage?

Doesn't look like he hit him in the head. 0 weeks

Football act, was he supposed to disappear?

No, he was meant not bump.

This response says everything about your club. Just knock people in the head, we're Port Adelaide.

 

[Jake98]

Houston has checked out of Port Power. Doesn't want to play for them anymore.

 

[maskmcgee]

Football act, was he supposed to disappear?

Sure hope you didn't post you wanted Peter Wright suspended earlier this season

 

[Maddo11]

Rankine has the ball, so choosing to tackle is an option. Chose to bump and ko'd him instead. Even if Port secure the double chance and lose week one, that's 5 weeks to the GF

He's not playing again this year.

But if Rankine has the ball and he bumps him in the chest and Rankine gets knocked out by his heading hitting the ground, that is allowed isn't it?

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

4 minimum season over. Chose to bump knocked him out as he was gathering the ball. Looked almost as bad as the Webster one.

 

[hawkman]

5 at least to ensure he doesn't play again this year

But if Rankine has the ball and he bumps him in the chest and Rankine gets knocked out by his heading hitting the ground, that is allowed isn't it?

When has this ever happened
