I feel for Nicks. He was handed the shittest gig in town give where they were list-wise and what had happened off-field.

He's had them up and about more than they should have been but will get the axe when a shiny new thing becomes available.

Wingard played in the VFL this weekend. 12 touches and didnt trouble the scorers. Back from his achilles.

Would be a valuable addition to the Hawks now they are moving the ball well, small forward combo with Ginnivan would be pretty dynamic.

Nicks looked like a shattered man in the box yesterday

Won't be long

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Over on the dark side I read a funny post.
Nicks is not good enough to tie Hinkley’s shoe laces because at least he can get Port to play finals
Funny people these footy supporters.

No-one forced him to take the gig.

Can you be 100% certain of that? This is the Crows we're talking about.

I actually didn’t think it was that bad

He hit him on the chin hard enough to cut his own head open, behind the play!

If it was a contest for the ball I’d agree, but this was cheap as it gets.

 

[Janey]

Gotta say, Manuel in that show is still one of the best characters ever.

 

[klem22]

Yes that 4 disposals is a big threat

2 goals in a side that beat a team that we may very well not.

lol at some of the comments saying that Starcevich had been scragging Rankine "all day long" and finally copped what he deserved. All 25 minutes long, going by that score box.

Yeah but if Butters gets the same treatment he has to find a way around breaking the tag.
These Crows supporters are morons.

If butters did I they’d be sharpening the guillotine

The actual bump itself was fine IMO, the act would have been fine on the ball.

The context of it being off ball is the bad bit, combined with the concussion, should do him for a couple weeks.

Rankine's hit is yet another incident that has more wrong with it than Sam Powell-Pepper

's preseason bump. So it should cop a heavier suspension.

It won't though.

 

[gbear]

Rankine is a grub, so it isn’t surprising he did what he did yesterday.

 

[RangaInTeal]

With you here Rick, taggers get away with belting blokes, grabbing and scragging our best players away from the footy. This is a bloke standing by up for himself while copping attention. If you’re bringing it defensively, you should expect a bit back.

However also agree he deserves a week for the outcome, as that is what the tribunal pin blokes for, outcome rather than action/intent.

And smashing him whilst he was looking atbthe ball off to the side.
Totally blindsided the poor bugger.
Has to bec4 weeks minimum.

 

[JimmyBC]

Funny how times change eh once upon a time we had Byron the human missile Pickett leaving carnage at all corners which we loved and now a poxy little bump from Wankine that brushed a blokes chin has people frothing cheap shot!!

Well I didn’t see JHf get protected by the umpires when the Dogs are trying to gang bang him on the ground! Seeing replay again, Rankine did follow through a bit hard but ahhh well

That’s right the game is all pussafied ( I just made that word up).
That’s why every game seams boring, you need a bit of biff, pumps up the crowd and the players.
Plus it keeps your attention on the game waiting for the square up!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Has the AFL found a way to let Heeney off yet?

There’s talk of a Body Double.

Witing for my car to come back from servicing with Five aa playing in the background and I hear Rowe demanding stronger action be taken against the Brisbane member who racially abused Izak Rankine

on line. Demands that person have his photo shown on screens at the next Adelaide Oval home game and a life ban imposed.

Says racism is totally unacceptable and he's 'had enough'.

How's the hypocrisy?
