Player Watch #24 Dane Rampe

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.

Dane seems to have the balls to just come out and say it as he sees it.

Clarko coffee dates.
Trade bans.
The disgusting end to Goodesys career.

He'll make sure he makes his point clear yet without fear of judgement.

I had my doubts about him early... thought he'd be a bit of a "lad" & not take things too seriously... Man was I wrong.

Brilliant choice as a leader IMO.

He copped a pasting (perhaps warranted) when he was caught out smoking at the pub, but apart from that he hasn't put a foot wrong.

Except the fence, of course...

I think if anything what makes him so admirable is that he's still a "lad". The innocuous little innuendo he threw in that speech shows he's still a lad, but that he can balance it out with being a really well-spoken and confident leader, who is also a genuine good bloke based on the times I've met him.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Been good this season, seems to have taken well to captaincy

 

[caesar88]

Yep Sir Dane has been a bright light this year since round three onwards, almost back to his best. Genuine form turnaround that I didn't expect. Glad the great man proved me wrong.

 

[Skeparovic]

Great at beating opponents and roasting umpires for poor decisions! What a champion Swan.

 

[The King!]

umps dont like him

 

[ScrewInStuds]

umps dont like him

What a bunch of little girls.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Takes the most dangerous forward most weeks this year and beats them one on one consistently. Beast.

 

[The King!]

climb in your own time please

 

[caesar88]

Sir ******* Dane of House ******** Rampe!!!!

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Had an absolute better. His closing speed on players you'd think are much faster than him (like when he moved onto Fantasia in the second half) is exceptional.

 

[Mister B]

Great player. Dumb as dog s**t. Why the * would you risk climbing the post?

 

[caesar88]

Great player. Dumb as dog ****. Why the **** would you risk climbing the post?

Wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t know that rule existed. I sure as hell didn’t.

 

[RUNVS]

Sir ******* Dane of House ******** Rampe!!!!

Oddly enough Ser Arthur Dane was considered the best swordsman in all of Westeros.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t know that rule existed. I sure as hell didn’t.

I didn't know of the exact rule but if asked I would have probably said it would be against the rules.

I didn't know of the exact rule but if asked I would have probably said it would be against the rules.

Jordan De Goey is allowed to climb on players heads and legally paid a mark, a player should be able to climb a damn goalpost. And if the post is wobbling because a single player is climbing it then the AFL needs to improve their posts. This is not the 70s and Sir Dane is not Leigh ******** Matthews!

Total non-story.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Will probably get a please explain for saying to the umpire you talk like a girl.

 

[The King!]

He cops some s**t frees as it iS

Funny to have a crack at the umpire but bet it costs him

 

[Grongey]

Sir Dane, climbing the post, now that is will to win! Just had to upgrade my avatar after that.

Don't try it at Marvel Stadium Dane, your head will hit the roof!

 

[caesar88]

Can we please leave the great man alone? He is our ****-talking, post-climbing, umpire-baiting brick wall in defence. Just embrace him, back to his best!

 

[CheapCharlie]

Climbing the Goal post FFS!
Not sure what type of dumb campaigner brain fade Rampe had
Should have been a free to Essendon without a doubt
Would have been an awful way to lose a game
phew~!

 

[grimlock]

It's probably the same out-of-the-box thinking that led to Rampe having that shot at goal which Rohan marked against the Bombers in 2017.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

He was easily BOG last night for me. Solid. Inventive/creative. Always talking/directing. Switching between often distinctly different opponents with seeming ease.

He's back everyone. And how bloody good is it?!

 

[RUNVS]

Swans need to make Rampe his own dunce hat for him to wear the next month

 

[Number37]

The chain incident makes a much more sense now.

 

[RW]

Out of the box thinker for sure. Even Parker admitted on SEN that he wasn't sure what goes through his head at times.

Worsfold rated Myers a "1% chance" of kicking the goal in his presser, so no harm was done, but it was still a stupid risk he didn't need to take.
