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.

This week will be Great Dane Rampe's 100th AFL game*.

From a mature-aged rookie from the VFL and NEAFL to an All-Australian and a key piece of the best defence in the league in the span of 4 years

*subject to various BigFooty curses.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Congrats to him. Hope he has a massive game.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Break a leg Ramps!


Oh.... wait a sec.....

 

[Kirkswan]

Go you good thing!! Pity it's not a home game, but glad he finally made it!

 

[caesar88]

The greatest player that ever was or ever will be

Déjà vu

 

[V9x18]

Love me some Dane Train

Congrats Ramps.

 

[SwansProudly]

Congratulations Ramps

I feel like this thread is jinxing Rampe massively as we will probably find out this evening that he went for a walk and a dog chased him up a tree and in the process of climbing the tree he injures his foot.

 

[doona]

Let's hope he doesn't fall out of bed and break his arm again on the morning of the match
But in all seriousness, congrats. Awesome player and many more games to come.

A quick question, was he the first player to be drafted from the NEAFL that was not tied to a club through an academy?

Mate you could be right about that. They have named a village after him in the old country.

Great effort from Dane, just such a hard worker.

Great effort from Dane, just such a hard worker.

He had to put his future pr0n star career on hold to play in the AFL as well which just goes to show how committed he is.

It's definitely not on hold.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

It's definitely not on hold.

Someone's holding something though right?

Off topic!

Hopefully there will be no more mishaps and Rampe will run out for his 100th game on Saturday.

I hope someone makes Rampe run around the banner as well

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Looking fwd to seeing Dane "the chain" Rampe bound (hurdle-like) out for his 100.

In the leadership group at such an early point in his career & time playing at senior level says a lot about how he goes about it.

On ya Ramps!!

 

[caesar88]

If we can't get up for him in this game, we deserve to finish 17th on the ladder and miss out on the number 1 pick

 

[momentbymoment]

I imagine Dane looked something like this when he fell.

Wow! Didnt know that the mo riddled 70s pr0n star look was back. Burt Renyolds impersonators have a future!!

 

[Tuco]

I'm glad Sir Dane of House Rampe has returned.

Winter is coming.

 

[The King!]

I cant believe scaryness had the audacity to make this thread after what he did last time

In other words he looked like a sex symbol

 

[S120]

Quite probably our most important player not named Kennedy or Franklin. Very comforted to have him back in the side.
