Suspend him!
I mean Collingwood could be Foxing but there's stuff like this being reported .... "Magpies coach Craig McRae has revealed he has spoken at length to the victim of Izak Rankine’s homophobic slur, but says he won’t demonise the Crow for his error."....
Again no hetrosexual man is going to be this "Shaken" by being called a gay slur.

A grey area if that's the defence the Crows are putting forward.
They should just cop it and move on, though as we all know the Crows love their courtroom sideshows.

So call a player a homophobic slur closer to finals because you get less of a suspension? Farkin what is going on? Crows are a putrid organisation.
and he self reported at 3/4 time during the game because he felt so bad
and publicly apologized on multiple media formats
I think it's a great idea, just make the last round "Free-For-All Round" and let the players go full Wakelin vs. Lynch and say whatever they want, the AFL can give them a slap on the wrist and then they get the week off to recover before finals. Even norf would get a sellout crowd
I was thinking the same today, if someone called me that I’d most probably laugh at them.
I’m thinking most straight people would act the same way
I can see it being more offensive if someone who is actually gay got called a derogatory gay slur.
At the end of the day you’re never 100% sure on what everyone’s sexuality is so it’s best to STFU and give those sort of name calling a big miss.
It’s not the old days anymore.
The idea that it should get a lesser penalty is just ****ing wild.
More generally, the sport, along with quite a few others, has a cultural issue that needs to be addressed. There is a reason there have been no gay players who have ever felt comfortable coming out. I do not believe for a moment that's because there were never any gay players.

The ALF is obviously considering it though, otherwise they'd just tell them to GAGF.
After the obvious heavy lifting they've done on the field for them this year I wouldn't be surprised.
What is Crom even trying to argue here? You can't say finals should be weighted differently - they're not for any other types of suspension. The precedent of 5 games is already set.
They're essentially saying they disagree with the AFL's stance and don't think what he did was that bad... when finals are on the line.

A bit of Biff was always something to look forward to at the footy.I think it's a great idea, just make the last round "Free-For-All Round" and let the players go full Wakelin vs. Lynch and say whatever they want, the AFL can give them a slap on the wrist and then they get the week off to recover before finals.

I’m not talking about behind the play stuff but the odd punch up and stuff like that was entertaining.
It’s become so bland and now you see things like the Wines incident being reported.

True but thats because it was used in a pejorative sense, with usually a Farken in front of it or a C after it.
Its like the word Paki. Aussies use it to shorten the national cricket team's name and you have very little immigration from Pakistan until last 15 years or so, but in UK where you have decades of Pakistani immigration the use of F before and C after it have turned it a racist word in the UK.
Its not the word by itself, but its the tone and context its used in.

Weighting on finals game is f**king idiotic, doubly so if you're pushing for a sudden regulation change during the season because your player got done.
Teams negotiate these punishments all the time, same as we did with Rioli for his moronic "my mates will bash ya" crap, but what the Crows are allegedly trying to do (along with what their window-licking supporter base are suggesting) is lunacy.
Maybe. But there is also a requirement to accord procedural fairness to someone in Rankine's position. In the circumstances, that means giving him a chance to make submissions on the proposed penalty, which the AFL needs to show it has considered, even if it ultimately does not accept them.

So Houston should have only got 2 games last year because finals were on? Give me a break
Imagine the precedent this would set

The SANFL and the Crows always playing the victim since Port first pushed to enter the VFL/AFL. Pathetic. Vomit worthy.
