Parker got 6 for something less than that. It wasn't quite Webster bad but it was close.

Can't tell if the hit or the ground knocked him out
Surely it’s time?
Absurd that we have situations like Houston lining up and knocking out one of Adelaide’s most important opposition players in a tight game. Yet while Rankine is done for the day, Houston plays on.
We all know he’s done for 4+ weeks… why shouldn’t the suspension begin the moment he commits the act?

Houston, we have a problem. That's for to be 5 weeks at least.

I don't see why it would be, when If he tackles him but he gets knocked out by the ground it's still a suspension
Hit him in the chest, didn't leave ground etc - injury caused by hitting ground. free kick, nothing in it worth a report

Nope, hasn't been for years. If you bump and their head hits anything you've hit them high.

Don't know if it has or has not. May be the first time something like this has happened, if he did hit him the chest?
Which rule has he broken if he's bumped him in the chest?
The equivalent to that would be a player laying on the ground and player dives into them and knocks them out. Houston has no control over Rankine's body after the bump when Rankine was standing up, compared to a tackle where the tackler still is touching the player when they are on the ground
The King!
Chosen One
4-6
A genuine issue with the rule - it truly appears to be 100% whiplash from the impact to the body.
IF it's shown to conclusively be a body hit and its the whiplash that KOd him (ie body "stopping" and head keeps "going"), then its a bit of a slippery slope.

what would the free have been for?
Yep. No sin bins and no send offs. It the worst aspect of the game.
0 weeks because im out of trades in supercoach
Don’t reckon Houston had any intention bar playing hard but fair footy.
However, he got him high. The still conclusively proves that.
High contact, severe impact, he’ll be lucky to get 4, the AFL will ask for 6 and it’ll hit at 5 I reckon.

Would you believe that Port ended up with the free kick?
Because they did
Crows got the first 5 frees of the night and Port had a mark not paid that should have and that was it they were always going to **** us after that

There's distinct differences between the two acts, but also they changed the rule book so that if that same Maynard action happens again it'll be weeksLast time a bloke in black/white hit a player high, front on and caused a massive concussion, he got 0 weeks and &$0 fine. Expecting the same here.
So yeah, nah
Same with Rankin tonight. CTE lawsuit loophole discovered!
It’s just another thing to be open to interpretation and subjectivity. Please no. Incidents happen. Toby Bedford would have been sent off for his tackle on Taranto probably if you had a MRO type watching it.

How the umps missed paying a free is beyond me, that was in the play - he lined him up from a mile away and got him in the head, KO'd before he hit the ground

Just watched it. Absolutely astounded that a free kick wasn't paid. Looked like Matt Stevic the often noted "best in the business" was in control.
Should be 4+ at minimum.

This is what it hinges on.
The reverse angle shows Rankine is clearly conscious until his head hits the ground.
There's absolutely nothing conclusive to show that Houston got him high.
If the concussion is a result of head hitting floor, is that a suspension, and if so - under what sanction?
Bump to the body on a player with the ball.
Rankine's whiplashed and concussed him, so he'll be guilty of rough conduct.
Its nothing worse than Wright's hit. So 4 weeks should be the maximum.
