Wow he really wanted to take him out eh?Port saying 3 AFL 5 games
Hurt his AC joint to which is interesting
I wonder why, it's almost like Rankine was targeted as part of a team directive......"I don't know why I didn't tackle. In the past, this has been my first instinct. I don't know why I decided to bump because I can't remember making that decision because it all happened so quickly."It seems Houston has knocked Rankine out with high contact to the head AND damaged Rankine's AC joint at the same time.
Literally zero relevance to the case, but if it helps you cope.I wonder why, it's almost like Rankine was targeted as part of a team directive......"I don't know why I didn't tackle.

It’s almost like the distance from elbow to shoulder as Houston bumps covers the head, neck, and AC joint.It seems Houston has knocked Rankine out with high contact to the head AND damaged Rankine's AC joint at the same time.
Why else would they bring up "Krupka (Power) notes Houston had not been suspended across his 168 AFL games and 18 SANFL games. He has received one melee fine"????Literally zero relevance to the case, but if it helps you cope.
Otherwise we could use this argument for any offence.
The vertical distance not in question.It’s almost like the distance from elbow to shoulder as Houston bumps covers the head, neck, and AC joint.
That's a different comment to the one you quoted.Why else would they bring up "Krupka (Power) notes Houston had not been suspended across his 168 AFL games and 18 SANFL games. He has received one melee fine"????
Given the pace, you don't think it hit the AC joint and slide to the neck and head? That's why the top of shoulder is deem as high.The vertical distance not in question.
Aren't you allowed to tackle the top of the shoulder (not the neck obviously)Given the pace, you don't think it hit the AC joint and slide to the neck and head? That's why the top of shoulder is deem as high.
No. Top of shoulder is high contact. Is that not common knowledge?Aren't you allowed to tackle the top of the shoulder (not the neck obviously)

You'd know all about being "cringe as".5 matches as expected, his statement was cringe as lol.
Appeal what? The AC joint is classified as high contact.No surprises coming from the AFL.
Time to appeal it

Have you read it? Goes on about not wanting to miss a Grand Final so trying to play that card. Talks about his record so trying to play that card. Don't know why he choose to bump as he has always tackle in that situation so trying to play that card.You'd know all about being "cringe as".
