Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II

[Mr_Moogle]

That’s an interesting statement and it relies heavily on when the “crime” was committed. If it was round two and people were saying it deserved 6 weeks then people wouldn’t be trying to destroy him? But because it was at the end of the H&A and we were on the cusp of a finals tilt it does?

Of course it shouldn't matter. The rules shouldn't change because it's bad timing. That people even have this expectation is entirely the AFL's fault. They've previously shown that they have no integrity and will change the rules based on timing (Cotchin 2017).

I wonder if it was that dude that was posting in on here shitting on Rankine, while claiming to be his biggest fan that up and vanished.

Well given he was shaking out 12 weeks, would you think he should miss out on a premiership if it was said week after the bye?

I think the AFL need to set the punishment for any slurs in advance. For any homophobic or racial slurs it’s just x amount of weeks. period! The whole tribunal or discussion about the slur creates uncertainty and leads to extreme opinions on punishments.

Should be a demerit point system. Starts out with a fine. Suspensions for repeat offences.

As long as it is clear cut and not left to interpretation

Agreed. A flat rate. No more of this vibes based shit where someone gets 5 weeks and another gets 2.
