So how's that conspiracy going?Not odd at all. We damaged Bulldogs final 4 prospects and in 2 weeks time had the opportunity to do the same to Essendon. The AFL know what they are doing. Going to make more money if a big Vic team goes deeper into finals. The fact that from minimal footage they determine high and high shows they are a bunch of corrupt campaigners.
If this report happened to the likes of Darcy Moore, it is all we would be hearing about tonight and the fans would be tearing the league apart on social media. Instead, being a non-Vic side, the fans are apathetic.... until it happens to them.
Rumours that the Hawks are considering appealing this decisionWould be 5 weeks if it was Sicily.
Rumours that the Hawks are considering appealing this decision
Everything the tribunal does leaves me scratching my head. Seems some clubs and players do better at the tribunal than others.While I mostly agree with Rampe getting off the tribunal’s justification does make me scratch my head re: the Mansell suspension.
I reckon the angle from behind the goals (here at 0:30) shows Rampe running mostly along the centre square line, and McNeil with the greater change in direction at the last moment, when focusing on their feet.I have no problem with Rampe getting off - it is not a reportable offence IMHO. A free kick at most if he is caught.
But the explanation from the tribunal is a whole lot of unadulterated horse s**t. McNeil runs parallel to the centre square line whilst Rampe clearly changes direction, crosses the centre square line and initiates contact. Accidental my ass. Rampe did what defenders are supposed to do in this situation. The ball was about to be kicked to the Bulldog forward line and Rampe blocked McNeil so he couldn't get to the contest.
I'm not trawling through twitter, but there was a shit-quality shot from the Ladies stand side that had McNeil with his left left straight leaning towards Rampe at the point of contact.I have no problem with Rampe getting off - it is not a reportable offence IMHO. A free kick at most if he is caught.

Footage from the bench side of the ground shows McNeill turning into Rampe, with the leg furthest from Rampe straightened and his body turned into Rampe's.What?
Rampe turns in at him then after the block immediately changes direction again to go after the ball.
