NO TROLLS Rankine handed a 4 match suspension by the AFL integrity unit for a homophobic slur against opponent

Have they learnt nothing from Tex?

What a stupid comment.
Nobody knows what was said, if it was said and who said it.

If it was racial or homophobic surely it wouldve been mentioned

 

[Orfullrules]

Cancel the season

last thing the crows need now..
wait and see situation

Clearly pissed someone off if it got back to the AFL in less than 24 hrs - Jack Graham had to self report a week later to get himself an early holiday.

The article quotes the precedents set for homophobic abuse fwiw. That's usually there way of hinting what it might be about.

This is the worst Afl season in living memory.

The article also mentions the sexual assault on the field last week which attracted no penalty

I was feeling uncomfortable with the lack of shame I was experiencing. Luckily one of the boys made me feel normal again

Smith St is basically the rainbow hub of Melbourne.

It really is an important escalation. None of the other guys suspended were any good.

 

[Slats]

Crom of disapproval.

Short odds to be swept under the carpet.

Precedent says 4 weeks if Rankine owned up to it himself, 5+ if he didn’t.

So will likely land on 2 weeks and an “education course” because it’s a star in finals, as opposed to Graham/Finlayson/Powell/Collard.

Has it?
By who?

Havent seen it reported anywhere.
If you're claiming the tweet about the fingernails, Quaynor didnt even have them painted

I see theyve now named Rankine but what did he say

If found to be true, I wonder if the AFL will hold consistency of other situations where the player has been sanctioned.

If there weren't any witnesses it wouldn't have made it this far imo.

Finlayson goes alright.

Wasn't on the edge of a finals series though.

Oh dear.

Finlayson goes alright.

Finlayson got the wall pretty hard about that time. He's safe to sanction without making people upset

Could cost his side a flag...

AFL has to come down red hot hard here, still seems a massive issue in the game
