Yep- there’s such a duty of care involved when a player in Rankines case is in a vulnerable position.No eyes for the ball, point of shoulder squarely underneath Rankine's chin, opted to bump, high impact - gorn for weeks. Wouldn't be surprised if it was 5 or 6.

For sure, I have a lot of sympathy if it's an obvious accident or if players are going full tilt for the same ball, but when you watch that footage you can see Rankine off the ground and vulnerable with Houston CLEARLY lining him up and deciding to bump. May be the clear cut worst incident I've seen all year.Yep- there’s such a duty of care involved when a player in Rankines case is in a vulnerable position.
I generally have sympathy for the players as they are trying to walk the tightrope between physical aggression and duty of care in microseconds, but this sort of thing has to be totally stamped out.
Houston good bloke check? SizzlesilkNo eyes for the ball, point of shoulder squarely underneath Rankine's chin, opted to bump, high impact - gorn for weeks. Wouldn't be surprised if it was 5 or 6.

It makes no sense, but I'm with you on that.
Ostensibly he seems very likable. In practice he's somehow only a few pegs below Lynch as the key forward I dislike the most.

So should we win next week, would we prefer Lions away or Bulldogs at the G. Lions are always a chance to beat in the finals because they often choke when the going gets tough, and Bulldogs are in pretty good form.Blues could easily jump over us
If we win, it will mean Carlton would have to win much bigger than us for us to face Brisbane I think. I just did ladder predictor with us beating North by 10pts and Carlton winning by 50pts. That would see us play Brisbane in Brisbane.So should we win next week, would we prefer Lions away or Bulldogs at the G.

Although at least it’d be at the G so we’d be there to support…..and surely the AFL wouldn’t have it at Marvel.
Haha. Yes. Shite bloke. Fits the port squad beautifully.Houston good bloke check? Sizzlesilk
The Westies were so cocky too. We were too old too slow. Was a guest of compass the airline and had cracker seats but right amongst them from the west. Bitch and Slap always comes to mind, couldn’t stop laughing as we smashed our way to another Grand Final and Norm Smith care of Paul Dear. A great day out!I keep saying 1991 is underrated. Won the first ever VFL/AFL final played outside of Victoria, and then the only ever VFL/AFL GF played at Waverley.
With good reason - they had an incredible season and a squad full of seriously good playersThe Westies were so cocky too. We were too old too slow.

And the worst thing about it is because we play before all those teams we just have to win and let the cards fall where they mayIf we win, it will mean Carlton would have to win much bigger than us for us to face Brisbane I think.

We are more likely to play Bulldogs (if they win), Carlton if Dogs lose and Blues win, or Freo if Dogs & Blues both lose.
We could play Brisbane at the MCG if Dogs win, and Lions somehow lose to Essendon....
There are so many variables, it's doing my head in.
Never liked Bolton much, definition of a selfish player and always has been. This year has all but confirmed it. Terrible body language, not an ounce of fight and bailing when things look tough. I have no love for Richmond but they're better off without him and I hope they get a decent return.Bolton has officially requested a trade out of Richmond.
I'm sure we can assist them by giving them our F1 for BarrassPoor WCE. Going to need to stump up 3 firsts for him
That's one, how many more?Bolton has officially requested a trade out of Richmond.
Will go to FreoPoor WCE. Going to need to stump up 3 firsts for him
Tigers are going to get worse this off-season. Eagles will as well if Barrass leaves. All while North is still as shit as ever.Bolton has officially requested a trade out of Richmond.
