I think if Rankine goes it's curtains for the crows. Fitting if it was against Houston lol

They celebrated Houston being suspended last year, karma

 

[tribey]

When they pivot to floating the idea of asking the spuddiest player in the vicinity to take the fall for him, you’ll know they’re close to acceptance.

 

[gbear]

Crows supporters denying everything as it was too loud to hear anything clearly, there is no evidence and Quaynor cannot be trusted.

Of course they are. Can easily dish it out,but are a protection racket when it involves one of their own.

It would take more than 1 player for them to lose to derail their finals

 

[Grave Danger]

The Camry Crows even appeal fines, so whatever penalty Izaak may be given will be appealed all the way to the High Court. I wonder if any of the SNAFL silks from 1990 are still practising/alive...

BLOODY MURPHY

 

[Rigs]

“white guy Jeremy Finlayson got 3 weeks for doing the same thing, and it would be highly-racist to suspend Izak for more than Jeremy”

facetious or not, this is absolutely wild lol

“White guy Jeremy Finlayson”
The same Jeremy Finlayson that’s not actually a white guy?

Like how they made Young publicly accept Walkers contrived apology?

 

[gbear]

Collingwood will not let this be swept under the rug.

Football clubs don’t let things like this go

And because it’s Collingwood that’s just another reason Rankine is gone.

The other thing is - players don’t make this stuff up, he’s 100% said something.

 

[SureBuddy]

Absolutely not. If for no other reason than they will be very likely be playing each other again in week 1 of the finals.

Apparently, he self reported? I am not convinced of this.

 

[BornPort]

The AFL won't have the balls to suspend him for the whole finals series. He'll get 2 matches or something for some reason they'll make up.

The AFL have precedent, and you can't go backward in the number of weeks you hand out if you want to stamp this out!

Dan Houston last year is a prime example of missing finals for another reason, but it was due to AFL precedent.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

He'll get 6 weeks to make a statement if he admits to doing it. The AFL don't give a flying **** about Adelaide. They see them almost the exact same way they do Port, an inconvenience and possible barrier to one of their loved clubs like Hawthorn, Geelong, Collingwood, GWS or Gold Coast.

The only way he gets off is if he denies it. Then we're in a real tricky situation because you can't possibly suspend one bloke because another bloke says they said something. Otherwise next year if we play a side before a final we could just say that all of their star players said something.

 

[Papa G]

AFL has legit become probably the worst competition on the planet. There really isn't much redeemable about it any more. It would be easy to blame Dan Andrews, but it goes beyond that.

Yes i've seen quite a few of them playing the race card. Despite 3 of the previous suspensions was to indigenous players.

Finlayson, Collard and Powell.

And Riak Andrew is of some African descent

Monday morning: Crows finals campaign possibly imploding. Ken Hinkley's last week

Joe the cameraman moment.

Can't blame Byron Pickett this time.

 

[gtrxuone]

Just heard if Rankine doesn't own up to the Homofobic ,sledge.Like Jack Graeme did at West Coast.Its the differnce between a 4 to 7 week suspension.
Also complaints coming out of Melbourne from the Pies.About Crows players holding opponents.Around clearances and in the fwd line.
Theirs also complaints about something Tex done in the dying minutes of the match.

 

[Izzy01]

Massive blow for their finals chances, what a shame

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He said "mag", he said "mag" because he's a magpie.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Collingwood will not let this be swept under the rug.

Eddie McGuire will deathride them on this in his grandest hypocritical fashion.

You can't make homophobic slurs. It's unAustralian.

 

[morell]

If he said it, would be one of the stupidest things I've heard of on a football field given the context.

Given up a once in a lifetime opportunity for absolutely no reason

Staggering

Taylor blocked Billy Frampton when Thilthorpe took the mark to kick a goal. Clear as absolute day, made no attempt to jump.
