It was obvious from day 1 this was going to happened.
Bloke makes 1 mistake and the world falls in on him.
Yep it's a ridiculous situation. $5000 fine and thats it. The AFL needs to scale it back next year and past players can serve as an example. Alas weak leadership. Do it again raise the sanction level.
 
I doubt it. Got off very lightly. Typical AFL - special rules for special people.
How would the other guys who copped a full whack be feeling now!
He is a gutless squib.
Worst part - blaming all and sundry except himself.
Previous form - no doubt. He didn't know he had it in him - it just popped out this time - "Oh my where did that come from??"
Pathetic

Your seasons ****ed mate, enjoy your EF.

I thought Silvers handled that presser as best he could. Balanced the line of not condoning without throwing Izak under the bus


The club has already talked about the mistake. No point dwelling on it publicly. Rankine needs help moving on and I think the club was right to fight for the carrot to keep his mental wellbeing in check.

Yeah but an efficient process doesn't generate as much media discussion.


Surprised the AFL wagering partners did not have the outcome listed as a bet. Sorry investment.
 
His season is over though. Weird that was taken into account, and yet the penalty is still 4 weeks.

Because it's not over on a technicality. He could, possibly, maybe play a GF if we have to go the long way.

But the chances of us winning an away PF are slim to none, so a moot point.
 
The community that rams things down our throats daily's probable next move will be to try and ban old Snoops entry into Australia, get Rankine suspended for 10 weeks, all players do a course on 'minorities rule'.
What's wrong with 2 week suspension ,6 week suspended sentence and a fine.
Take a blokes head off with an elbow you get 2 weeks.
What about the effect on Rankine if the Crows go on to win the flag.
It's over the top bullshit.

1. You are wrong
2. you are wrong
3. now you are just embarrassing yourself
4. go home you are drunk.
5. Credit where credit is due though you wrote a whole rant without a single fact just the worst take of all time. Well done sir.

Didn't Silvers say something along the line Izak might need to get away from it all....that doesn't read like he'll be training or anything else at the club at least in the short term

You ok with your players threatening to concus another player like they did last year?

Your team is unsporting.

Why? Our away record is pretty good this year

1 point loss to Gold Coast, should have won
3 point loss to Hawthorn in Tasmania where finals won't be played and we should have won it
10 point loss to Collingwood.
19 point loss to Fremantle who may not make finals

Because our club is our club.

That and it's Dillon's worst nightmare. We'd get 2012 PF levels of umpiring.

I get it's an awful word but why do literal drug cheats get more due process and anonymity than a one off mistake? There needs to be a stepped process involving the first incident being dealt with internally involving education and perhaps a 2 week suspension and a massive fine.

All this week has done is make the AFL feel good about themselves while scapegoating Izak for a wider problem all the while making a marginalised community feel ostracised at the same time.

Settle down and focus more on the protected flopper that is Daicos, gives out punches and flops when he gets one back….what does he get? Free kicks and no sanctions si he can do it all again with a green flag from HQ.
That’s a gutless squib.
Pathetic.
 
Time for a bunch of you to forget about the conspiracy theories and accept that Rankine ****ed up and has to face the consequences.

Homophobic actions are not acceptable, if you think it's 'just a word' you're being willfully ignorant.

Let's hope Rankine learns from it and gets another chance to win a premiership down the line.

literal drug cheats get banned for 2+ plus years if caught.

a player getting caught using recreational drugs is not in the same ball park
