Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II - Welcome to Adelaide

[Interloperer]

The SANFL had it for a few years, but dropped it about 12-13 years ago.

From memory, Nathan Eagleton got sent off for two reports, and then one of the reports was subsequently withdrawn. The controversy around that lead the SANFL to drop the send off rule.

Shows how long I've been out of the state then .

I still think perfect is the enemy of good here. There are very obvious cases where in my opinion a send-off is warranted. eg, violence to officials, or a strike to head or groin. It would change very little about the game other than having a few random thugs face consequences for their actions.

"Closing in on a big deal with the Crows" per Gettable with Twomey.

Not seen as a flight risk, but still nice to stitch up for the longterm.

Back this week

 

[1990crow]

Back this week

Very high hamstring?

 

[StonesThrow]

How many extended periods are we gonna lose him for next year?

 

[PeterSalt]

Extended for another 2 years .. through to the end of 2027

Rankine extends

The 24-year-old has been one of the Club’s best performers this season

interesting that it was only for 2. Better than none though

 

[Brett Cummings]

Don't let nicks waste his career.

 

[beartoo]

Reckons the admin and coaching team are great. Different perception to the other side of the fence.

Not a surprise re-signing, but great to lock in an absolute gun who wants to be here.

 

[Crows I Am]

Don't let nicks waste his career.

Maybe that's why he only signed for 2 years? Give the club a chance to get their shit together, or get rid of Nicks. If neither have happened he may look elsewhere...

More likely due to his age though, next contact will be his big pay day to set him up for the rest of his career.

OR... likes Nicks so much is conditional upon who is coach once Nicks leaves... Nicks also extended for two years... just sayin'.

It's probably in his interests to sign up for a shorter period, he'll be 27/28 when he's coming up for his next contract so should still be in his prime and would probably be looking for a 4-5 year deal then to take him into his 30's. Should still be playing at a high level, so would still be looking at a lucrative contract to keep him here.

Of course you always run this risk of doing a Doedee and tearing your ACL up just before you're due to sign, but Rankine doesn't have the injury history that Doods had to have that be as big of a risk.

 

[Betts are off]

Awesome. Wish it was 5 more years, but i'll take every game I can get of Izak Rankine

In 2-3 years he could be anything!

 

[Soggy2112]

Awesome. Wish it was 5 more years, but i'll take every game I can get of Izak Rankine!

I don’t think it’ll be that long.

His Collingwood and GWS games were as good as any individual performance I’ve seen this year.

Just needs consistent footy next year and he’ll be in the very top bracket of players.

It's pretty much us holding him back at the moment. He's elite, but we're not winning enough for it to count. If we can start winning regular games he'll be considered as one of the top guys.

Not to mention the fact we’ve looked pretty clearly slower around the ground without having him around stoppages

It's trotting out the company line like the players did under Neil Craig.

More likely due to his age though, next contact will be his big pay day to set him up for the rest of his career.

I'd say it's almost certainly the latter, he will know his next contract is the big one.

I doubt Nicks is here past mid next year.

Wouldn’t want to lock yourself under nicks for too long.

 

[Crow-eater]

Anyone else seriously concerned there's been no update?

I really hope he's okay.

 

[TGFC]

I really hope he's okay.

I saw the crows media Facebook team post 5 hours ago that they will provide an update when they can. I agree it is concerning that it hasn't been shared already, nearly 24 hours after the game

Getting worried now. Especially after Seedsman.

Getting worried now. Especially after Seedsman.

Didn’t Nicks say in his presser he was up and walking around the rooms ?
