News Dane Rampe elevated

[swansfan51]

If Rampe starts tomorrow as our 3rd tall, he'll conceivably taking O'Hailpin and Giles. I don't really like the sound of that.

I guess we can put in one of our key defenders from the reserves, like Matt Spangher or Campbell Heath. Failing that the next best we have is Xavier Richards or Tommy Walsh. Oh dear.

Rampe is apparently in.

Can always use LRT. Everitt also not a *terrible* option for 3rd tall (at least he's not Walsh).

When did Walsh become the whipping boy?

Every time I are a response in this thread that damn blasted U2 song goes off in my head

 

[Swansujelly]

Good luck to him. The brain trust obviously see something in him and I trust them.

True LRT can slot back. But, heaven forbid, one of LRT, Richards of Grundy go down, we may be in trouble. Although, I think Walsh spent a lot of time down south playing back, so maybe something there. He isn't very agile tho from what I've seen. AJ, we will miss him..

Glad to see his chances of playing this year are improved. He's 22 and has a physique that is comparable to Kennedy or O'Keefe. Very intrigued by this guy.

He'll slot straight in to his role & will be hard to remove. It's his spot to lose. His most important asset is his body size which pretty much has saved the Swans 3 years of development at someone else's expense.

It's an early call on Rampe but our recruiting team just gets it! We don' t keep a player if he doesn't look like he will play a regular role after three years, either through injury or lack of consistency. We move on quickly, looking for that next player that has the hunger to succeed.

You hit the nail on the head with this post...

If you have ten guesses eventually you may get one right.

 

[grimlock]

So many sceptical posters (me included) about Rampe's ability to play on talls

Well done, if only you could get Fawlty to become a better player

He will be but not for our club.

Thank you to whoever brought this back. There is never an inappropriate time to worship the majestic beast that is Sir Dane. He went from temporary AJ replacement to the best defender in the competition starting with 'R'

I'm going to be bold and predict that by end of 2016 Rampe will be All Australian. I just have this feeling about him.

Talk about traversing a limb!

Ha! I was going to shitstir Grim about his assessment but unfortunately he'd already shitstirred himself.

With the possible exceptions of Rance, Ralia and Rundy...

"All Australian: Dane Rampe" up on the swans site? was that a mistake?
Hardly a surprise regardless

And potentially a premiership winning KPF.
