Rankine is clearly a dog. Be good if Andrews gave him some sweet chin music in return.

Long way behind play, head clash shouldn’t mitigate it, if you choose to bump & get your oppo high you are in trouble.

SPP got 4 for a hit in play where his oppo was slung into his path. This is a lot worse. SPP was also racially vilified & called a POS by news.com & other foul racist names by crows supporters.
This is a lot worse & quite cowardly.

I understand what you are saying
But head clash doesn’t mitigate it
He chose to bump & got him high
It’s that simple
SPP got 4 & the tribunal agreed that he didn’t intend to bump, that player was slung into his path, but said he had a duty of care & ran at the contest recklessly & should have foreseen that high contact was likely.
Rankine lines a bloke up a long way behind play & drops him. A lot worse. Cowardly hit.
It was 5 metres away from a ball up, get your hand off it
Potential for charlie cameron good bloke defense? Hope he has receipts for the charitable works he's done recently

If Rankine is a sniper then he isn't a very good one.
The contact that gets him suspended here is the top of his head, not the hip and shoulder he was attempting to deliver.
Basically, he will be done because he is shorter than Starcevich.
But okay, he elects to do it and has to cop the price no matter the accidental nature of it.
I don't like it, not just because he is from my own club, because we are now punishing players for accidents and we can see that exact action next week and there would be no suspension if there is no head contact.
But, I guess if we saw someone doing something stupid down the street and someone got hurt we would expect them to go away for it. So okay, Bye Izak.
But let's drop the sniper rubbish.

Massive overreaction tbh.
Should just be a week. The bump is intentional but it was an unintentional head clash that delivered the damage. This is no comparison to any of the precedent that people are throwing out. Kinda shocked at the consensus in this thread to be honest. Feels very much 'eye for an eye'

News.com went pretty easy on him
Fortunate he didn’t get labeled a POS like they did to SPP

It doesn’t matter
You choose to bump & get your opponent high & you are in trouble
Hence why he'll get a week.
Those campaigning for more almost certainly have a set against Rankine. Incidental head on head contact when the actual bump itself is executed fairly. Get real.
Echo chamber in Port Adelaide. I see.
Once you go for the 'coward' cheap shot for a player who has shown to be anything but, you reveal yourself as someone who isn't ready for a genuine discussion.

“This case will then serve as a the base point for others that come before you throughout the course of the year.
A 4 game penalty in a case of minimal culpability ties the hands in terms of consistency in future cases”

If you think that's only a week, you have no idea how the MRP works TBH.
He will be lucky if he gets 3.
If not a cowardly act then how would you surmise it?
Hitting an unsuspecting bloke behind play?
The actions of a brave hero?
If SPPs was worth 4 Rankine should get 5-6 for consistency.
And at the end of the day that is all supporters want. CONSISTENCY

We need to accept and move on.
Can say goodbye to his shot at an AA blazer with that bump too
'choose to bump and if you get it wrong yada yada' is utter crap.
What is the point of doing this away from the ball?
It's like saying you choose to speed in your car but no one got hurt so it must be okay! As long as you didn't get it wrong.
Shepherds are the only reason to bump I can think of. This action just does nothing.

Interesting that they went with a set penalty, I though the highest grading meant automatic tribunal hearing? Or is that just an option the MRO has
I think it's an option used if they want more than 4 weeks.

I acknowledge the 4 weeks but out of interest would there be any sanction if there was no incidental head contact?

See you on the 9th green at 9
No, because Starce wouldn't have been concussed? Wot
