I truly hope the Brownlow top three this year are all ineligible and some plank has to accept the medal for being the fourth best player of the season.

5AA tomorrow is gonna be great. Rowe gonna come off the top turnbuckle.

Ken Hinkley?
He’s a plank

That would be so 2024 AFL with how bad they have ****ed up the competition!

 

[gbear]

Glad Rankine still has a 4 week suspension.

Didn't know were to post this but it seems to be applicable to AFL as well.
It does for me anyway.

 

[Festerz]

A reminder that a couple of years back (edit: in Festerz years, was actually four years ago) Zerk-Thatcher was reported for being hit in the face by Heeney - an incident which broke Heeney's hand.

What goes around....

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The Crows argued the incident should be graded as careless rather than intentional, which would have resulted in a three-match ban instead of four matches.

"The clash of heads was accidental. You cannot be satisfied that Rankine intended high contact," Adelaide's lawyer Andrew Culshaw said.

But the three-person Tribunal panel needed just 14 minutes to deliberate and find Rankine guilty as originally charged.

Heeney's Brownlow, star Crow's fate decided at Tribunal

Isaac Heeney and Izak Rankine challenged their bans at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night

Did Rankine cop the spp tax then? Hmmm wonder why

 

[sobrave]

Juicy

I think he said let's make some hay, down by the bay, what do ya say?

 

[Us against the rest]

Because the Crows aren't making finals so it doesn't effect their season, so they can use Rankin as an example and they don't look like toothless tiger.

 

[tribey]

Could also be saying "you have to stay."
Or he could even be talking to Bailey Williams

Or “go lay by the bay. whaddya say?”

Edit: dammit, sobrave

 

[PowerBaz]

Yeah that Rankine bump was soft as butter.

Just think back to Maynard…..

Corrupt league.

 

[PowerBaz]

Just reminded me of Happy Gilmore…

 

[JimmyBC]

I'm all for having a laugh at the tingles, but 4 games for that is insane.

 

[simba_]

couldn't have happened to a better club

 

[Ford Fairlane]

5AA tomorrow is gonna be great. Rowe gonna come off the top turnbuckle.

And land on his head. Oh well, might knock some sense into him.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

If that had been SPP instead of Rankine that would have been 8 weeks. Rankine didn't get a Port/Indigenous tax, but a crows discount.

Rankine chose to make forceful contact way off the ball on a player who wasn't expecting it and the player he bumped was concussed. The decision to initiate contact off the ball was the intentional part and the tribunal upheld that interpretation.

It was not reasonable to stop and forcefully bump Starcevich when Rankine must have known Starcevich was not expecting to be bumped.

Play had stopped, and although the bump was almost simultaneous with the umpire’s whistle, the Crows fairly accepted that neither player could reasonably have expected that the ball was about to come their way.

SPP was given 4 matches for a collision in a trial game where the player was slung into him as he ran in to tackle.

, he was rightfully given 7 games for a crude late bump that was at least in the passage of play.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

"You had to say it" is what I hear?

Yet they can print this shite

 

[Willsy10]

Pretty harsh the 4 weeks, but when you compare it to the 4 SPP got or the 3 Dixon got it's fair.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Collingwood’s Josh Carmichael has become the third player forced into retirement due to concussion this year as he continues to suffer from debilitating symptoms from repeated head knocks.
