I'd appeal. Head clash wasn't intentional so they can f off.

But the bump was intentional. The only ground for a challenge was to argue the severity of the impact which, given Starc went off concussed and will miss this week, would've also been unlikely.I'd appeal. Head clash wasn't intentional so they can f off.
Butters was never really a threat to Nick Daicos winning a BrownlowSo Butters can smack someone in the face and still remain eligible. Work that one out.
The whole system is stupid. You shouldn't be penalised for accidents.But the bump was intentional. The only ground for a challenge was to argue the severity of the impact which, given Starc went off concussed and will miss this week, would've also been unlikely.
Maybe they could've challenged the impact being body instead of head (which is where the bump was aimed for resulting in the head clash), but it did result in the head clash so that's also clutching at straws.
The tracker has Cripps tied with Heeney now.Butters was never really a threat to Nick Daicos winning a Brownlow
I too would love Bont to get one but his team is too much like a yoyo, it'll likely be a 2nd for Cripps who's having a better season than when he actually won it.The tracker has Cripps tied with Heeney now.
I'd love for the Bont to get it from here, he should have two already.

Yeah the photo tells a different story and I wouldn't trust my ears over that. The bloke sitting next to Reid isn't very rainbow rhythms either.I have it on my headphones and definetly interpreted it as 'you had your say'. Look at Reids shit eating grin, whilst everyone else looks shocked.

Can't blame Sloane's suspension for that, we completely shat the bed at home when we had a top 2 spot up for grabs, especially against a side (West Coast) who we rolled in Perth earlier that season.Remember Sloane suspended in the final round of 2016 for a mistimed spoil, cost us everything that year.
Bailey Williams isn't it?Yeah the photo tells a different story and I wouldn't trust my ears over that. The bloke sitting next to Reid isn't very rainbow rhythms either.
No club is actually able to admit they are tanking in the media though. They have to say they are aiming for wins and even finals, when there's no genuine expectation of that.
All the decisions the club has made (long injury layoffs, playing cooked seniors for far too long) is what a team would do that's not actually interested in winning. It's not like you kept a whole bunch of young players in the WAFL either, it just so happens most of them are now exposed to AFL football. Reid and Ginbey have played tons of midfield first up, unlike our blokes here at the Crows.
It's the perfect tank and West Coast had the perfect cover for it. You've benefitted at the draft taking three midfielders inside the first 15 picks, soon to be four with a second top 4 pick. Trialled a few developing talls, found some role players and you actually have some experienced key position players still.
If you actually wanted to improve quickly and believed you had the list, you would have sacked Simpson ages ago and worn the payout cost as the richest club in the land
Best option was to go the Hail Mary, like Brisbane did with Cameron earlier this year. Try for a "nice guy" discount, or argue that he was responding to earlier aggravation.But the bump was intentional.

As if the AFL would entertain the 'nice guy' approach with Adelaide. LOL You have to be a VIC darling team to pull that off.Best option was to go the Hail Mary, like Brisbane did with Cameron earlier this year. Try for a "nice guy" discount, or argue that he was responding to earlier aggravation.
They were never going to succeed by attacking any of the criteria (intentional/high/severe).
At least Rankine will be back in time to rip Port a new one, and look at the opportunity it gives to a peripheral young player to bash the door down.It's indeed stupid. Rankine was in the wrong place at the wrong time and mistimed his bump. I don't think he is a very popular player to be honest as well.
Good thing we're 15th, not 3rd on the ladder so no matter if it was 2,3 or 4 weeks it would make no difference to the outcome of the season when it comes to finals giving to the fact that I don't think we'll win another game this year. But what happens if we were 3rd on the ladder in a few years time and this happened again. It will be a disaster for sure. Remember Sloane suspended in the final round of 2016 for a mistimed spoil, cost us everything that year.
Like Cameron?As if the AFL would entertain the 'nice guy' approach with Adelaide. LOL You have to be a VIC darling team to pull that off.
Not familiar with this. Pray tell.Like Cameron?
He is the nice guy that got off and he plays for Brisbane.Not familiar with this. Pray tell.
Man that guys soft as. It's akin to being slapped across the face with a wet lettuce leaf.So Butters can smack someone in the face and still remain eligible. Work that one out.
I was thinking more along the lines of Cotchin Richmond, Maynard Collingwood, Martin Carlton as the tip of the iceberg.He is the nice guy that got off and he plays for Brisbane.
I find it odd that the work experience kid is the one who is tired of the message
I agree... but the odds of pulling off a "good guys" defence were still better than those of arguing that Rankine's actions were only careless.As if the AFL would entertain the 'nice guy' approach with Adelaide. LOL You have to be a VIC darling team to pull that off.
