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.

Not missing a game despite a broken hand? Talk about guts. It's almost silly.

It is silly. He shouldn't be rushed back right now.

 

[caesar88]

A God.

 

[S120]

What more can you possibly ask of him. I defy anyone to give me the name of one better all-round defender in the league. I desperately hope he can have one more crack at a flag before he retires.

 

[The King!]

Watch him not even make the all Australian squad

most unappreciated star in the league since heath Grundy

Do not trigger me ...

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Watching him pull Cameron’s pants down last night was so satisfying. And he did it one handed

[Olian]

Reinjured hand and is out for the season.

Rampe suffers injury blow

It’s been revealed Sydney Swans co-captain Dane Rampe has been playing with a broken hand.

Makes his performance last week even better

 

[Swannnnn]

Far out....we can't seem to catch a break can we

has to be Maibaum or Gould that comes in.

 

[caesar88]

Whoever approved Rampe playing after the first break can **** right off

Actually we can.... And that's the problem.

 

[BarneyBent]

Reckon that's when he re-broke his hand?

 

[Kapers]

Players that are o desperate to play + coaches desperate to play them. Has happened a lot this year with a few different players in a few different clubs. Would like the AFL to formally review injury protocols and maybe force the opinions of independent doctors.

Happens all the time with us. Buddy in 2018 plays 19 games with **** all training. Don't forget the number we did on Hanners as well

 

[SwansProudly]

Trying to positive, from such bad luck for Dane and the Bloods, we can upgrade a rookie?

Who would think playing with a broken hand would uhh lead to a broken hand!

All the cat B rookies have been upgraded. Cat A rookies can already play

 

[Ralphyboy]

Door is opening for Mr Gould

It can't be Gould - we need a proper tall to replace Sir Ramps . I hope it's Maibaum and not just swapping in AA. If we need both then so be it, but Maibaum should be given a shot.
Sorry our club played him with a broken hand, but the GWS win was pretty tasty by the same token.

 

[Bonz]

Door is opening for Mr Gould

He needs better form in the scratch matches first.

I know we want to see him play, but he has to earn his spot.

 

[RUNVS]

We play him with an injured hand and are now surprised his hand got more injured?

 

[RainMachine]

with the power of hindsight, just seems silly. Surely internally we knew the rest of the season was for development?

it really does seem we run our players into the ground (hanners the ultimate example)

 

[Punts]

He needs better form in the scratch matches first.

I know we want to see him play, but he has to earn his spot.

Like Ling?

 

[TheMase]

Well so much for no changes this week.

Hard to see us winning many games without him which at least will improve our draft position.

Mills will have to stay back now! Not much of a choice!
