Don’t tell me Rachele has hurt your feelings has he!

What are your thoughts on one of your worst players coming out and insinuating that oppo fans are poor/ugly?

Imagine the song and dance from you lot if Todd Marshall went on the radio and pointed out the fact that crows fans are either 75+ years old OR beady eyed/rodent-like in appearance.

 

[chiwigi]

Houston now has as much chance of playing finals as the entire Crows team.

 

[klem22]

Was Rankin concussed or winded when you get the wind completely knocked out of you you collapse like a bag of wheat.
It did not look like to me that he was hit in the head???
What actually happened and the sequence of those events should be taken into consideration when it comes to final judgements.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

But was he effectively a human missile??

Has helped others get off in the past?

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

The "booing Rankine off" stuff is hilarious. A clear sign that people either weren't at the game or are being willfully ignorant.

The booing was Crows fans booing because JHF was given the ball for a mark he'd taken before play was stopped. Nobody was booing Rankine off.

Haha - nobody booed rankine off the ground.

 

[Duck Farmer]

His best outcome hinges on the tribunal deciding to give him the chance to play in a grand final.

So they're going to suspend him for all of 2025?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Don't be like that

 

[Ford Fairlane]

AFL needs to think about the size of their headlines

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Haha - nobody booed rankine off the ground.

A small minority did.

Every team has a small minority of deranged people.

is facing a ban of at least four weeks after the MRO sent the Power star straight to the tribunal.

Dan Houston is facing a ban of at least four weeks after the MRO sent the Power star straight to the tribunal.

No, the gradings mean it is at least 3 matches. So the grand final scenario could still be in play.

The Match Review Officer graded the incident as careless conduct, severe impact and high contact, sending Houston straight to the Tribunal.

Such a classification carries a ban of three or more matches, while a classification of intentional would have been a ban of four or more games.

Surely we could challenge for careless, severe, body instead of high?

May as well challenge, if we lose it's not our problem.

lol - Butters fined again.

 

[AdamMarrett]

You can make that argument if you like. It'll fail. Concussion = severe, no exceptions. The AFL has been very clear about this.

The AFL has created the mess they're in. I'd argue that the act of Thilthorpe on Jones is worse than what Houston did. One is a footballing act (Houston's bump), though it isn't seen often anymore, and the other is a cheap way to take out a player in midair. But cause Jones isn't knocked out so it's looked over or ignored. That's not right as the outcome shouldn't overrule the act. It doesn't in any other sport bar the AFL. That is the issue. If Houston broke Rankine's ribs and punctured his lung with the bump it isn't even a discussion point. He wouldn't have been reported.

The whole system is broken cause the AFL is scared of being sued. They aren't protecting the head like they claim they are cause they're letting players lead with their head for free kicks and duck and be rewarded. If they were serious they'd be cracking down on that too.

It's straight to tribunal so we can argue whatever we want. It's a - pardon the pun - free hit.

Then we can appeal the tribunal decision.

Take it all the way.

 

[Interstater]

Just a reminder that Maynard got off for this.

 

[PAFC66]

If it's more than 3 it might as well be 15 weeks and he misses against us next year

 

[PAFC66]

Just a reminder that Maynard got off for this.

Way worse from every angle.

 

[Jojay]

Graded as careless. I reckon he gets 3 downgraded to 2

Supreme court here we come.

Would be the best sign ever that Port have rediscovered their nuts.

I think the fact that it's been graded careless and not intentional suggests its going to be hard to argue it down.

 

[Visenfest]

The grading of high contact is even more absurd when you consider that a free kick wasn’t paid due to the contact not being high. Figure that one out
