Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II

[AFCCroweater]

'Case Resolved' is an curious phrase to use in that post. I might be clutching (lets face it, I am clutching), but if there was never ever any change to the original decision I would imagine the 'Rankine decision to be handed down' would be a more accurate description.

I would only use 'Case Resolved' when a solution is worked through and agreed upon by both parties.

But anyway, make with the 5 weeks so I can stop checking BigFooty every 10 mins.

I’m going to miss refreshing this thread when it’s all said and done

 

[djhamdog]

Hope so.

Who is this guy and is he reputable?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Geez that isnt great for us

no team can just cover the loss of their best player in modern football.

 

[GameofSloanes]

I think the fairest outcome for all is 3 weeks and include a fine and counseling.

North Melbourne.
1st Qualifying
Semi or Preliminary Final

That to me covers all the mitigating circumstances the Crows are offering, the AFL embarrassment of the hyprocrisy it has found itself in i.e. weighting of finals, being verbally abused by opponents etc, punishes Rankine and forces him out of two of the biggest games the Crows have players in a decade. Anything over and above that has no merit other than an AFL PR backslapping exercise.

That would slightly piss off everyone so is probably the best solution

Yeah I think you're grasping... How in the know is this random guy?

Dude, at this stage I am just geasping at any news that this gets sorted out properly.

but to all those that it pisses of, please do tell why 5 weeks is the just penalty without saying precedent in the stupidest parroting voice you were about to?

Nah, doesn't mean anything. He's just scared the case is going to the Supreme Court.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Hope so.

We've heard that for days now.

But thats the point. Dawson is probably 2nd. But he is just one player and we seriously lack x factor around the contest.

Why? What’s happened to Murphy?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Why? What’s happened to Murphy?

Maybe like Rocky he can rise up and surprise the world!

[Mutineer]

On point!!!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Lengthy delay hoping some other big news drops and they get a bit of cover

Covid II or maybe Trump can bomb Canada or something

Dawson is our best player. He's currently leading the brownlow predictor
Rankine has the x factor which is a point of difference and would be very important in finals agreed

 

[Mutineer]

LOL

AFL now going to the screecher for moral support...

 

[adelaidecrows]

On point!!!

Absolutely! I am proud of the AFC for standing up and not rolling over. Its a tremendous decision really in the face of a PR nightmare but we are proving that the other side of argument doesnt have a leg to stand on becides precedent and being offended on behalf of the gay community which has publicly come out against this style of punishment in the past. So is it our fault the AFL didnt listen to them? no, its the AFLs and now they have been found themselves entangled in hyposrisy.

 

[Dont_be_a_Plonka]

On point!!!

Surely Snoops lyrics from two decades ago are more akin to Rankine writing something in an essay in high school?

 

[jbanger]

lol, blunderwood wouldn't even know who he was

 

[ContrarianCrow]

The irony of Rankine potentially missing a GF in which the lead commentator for the AFL’s chief broadcaster is also a guy who called a player a big p***ter live on air shouldn’t be lost on anyone either.
