Dane Rampe

Player Profile
Dane Rampe was denied at several drafts and didn’t land a spot on an AFL list until the age of 22. But ever since being rookie-listed in November 2012, the key defender has seized his opportunity. Rampe made his AFL debut in Round 1, 2013 and played his 150th match in 2019. He’s an All Australian, an emergency for the greatest NSW team of all time and a Bob Skilton medallist, and he’s led the Swans as a co-captain with Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker since 2019. It doesn’t matter if the opposition’s best forward is a tall or small; so versatile and reliable is Rampe that he’s always assigned to the toughest task in defence. Draft history: 2013 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 37; 2013 AFL draft rookie elevation (Sydney) selection No. 90.

They'd be much better off taking Lloyd who would give them what they hoped to get from Caleb Daniel.

Lloyd would be more likely, I suspect, to be swayed by an offer from another club. No club can unilaterally sign a DFA: the player has to agree. I can’t see Ramps doing so, especially as this will almost certainly be his last season.

(Other clubs can, however, sneak in and pick up a delisted player in the rookie draft before the delisting club can pick them. Can’t recall that happening - not in the rookie draft.)

So the Greenwood scenario was NM picking up a DFA, and not selecting him in the rookie draft? That does seem right.
 
North got Greenwood on board before they did that. There is too much risk for a club to try and draft a player who doesn't want to come without having the benefit of any medicals etc. Rampe, I'm quite sure, is committed to living in Sydney. He said as much a few years ago when he had his last big contract extension. I doubt it has changed. His whole lifestyle revolves around the beach and the eastern suburbs from what I can tell. Of course, people can always change and you can never be 100%.

If you did it you'd have to treat it as a working holiday or short term posting. OK for a single bloke but not great with a family. I waited until my kids were grown and out of the house.
 
Lloyd maybe could be tempted by North or Eagles for a two year contract. Makes much more sense than a 35 year old Rampe.

Maybe North. Eagles with a young family maybe not but moving back to Victoria might work. If that happened I doubt anyone would begrudge him.

I could see Rampe courted to North to join with the great man in the midfield.
Two years at exhorbitant amounts. I can see it.

And I would welcome him back at the end of his tenure. Would be good in coaching and man management.

This is correct. If a player doesn't want to get snapped up by another club then they simply refuse to do the medical for them. No club with any governance would draft a player with no medical.
