I reckon she’s right. The Crows successfully argued that Rankine’s mental health was in a poor place and the AFL took a week off his suspension as a result. 2 days later he boards a plan to Europe for a holiday.

It makes a mockery of what they told the AFL, including the support he needed.

You don’t think getting out of the country and away from the constant over the top media attention the matter has received is what could be best for his mental health?

He may as well stay in Rome, as I don’t see the Crows making the GF if they drop their home QF - which I don’t think they’ll do anyway.

He brought the attention on himself, so he gets no sympathy there. Then his club argued that his mental health would be severally damaged by the impact of what he did - which the AFL bought and shortened his suspension. Then he goes to Europe on a holiday.

The AFL couldn’t hold its nerve, and then he made them look like fools. It doesn’t pass any measure of credible punishment.

Toby Green stood up when needed.

Does what real leaders are suppose to do,Stood up in the 1st game(against the Dee's)when the game needed a match winner

went to footscray vs flagmantle today

dogs dominated the first 20 mins and couldn't put it on the scoreboard

freo then basically controlled the game until the last ten mins of the game when they got a bit spooked by their own shadow, but got it done

their forward line is a constant threat against an undersized defence like the dogs, and hayden young kept them in the game early before serong was excellent, and their half back rebound was fab to watch

it's a shame that gc17 will likely knock footscray out of finals on wednesday evening - they're good to watch, too, but flakey

The Dogs have had a problem in defence since their flag 9 years ago

Why did they not throw money at Barrass or Battle?

Go… Brissy? Is that what we want?

Yeah fair! I’ll support any result that’s worse for Collingwood. I’d support the anti-Christ over Collingwood, haha

Brisbane kicking for goal like they’re us 😂

Lions very wayward.

3 very gettable set shots missed

they will rue these misses i fear

zip 8 to 3 goals for chol

Lions just kicked themselves out of a top 4 spot and all done in the first quarter FFS! 0-8. I have convinced myself the freaking Dorks are going to walk off with another premiership as every team around them falls in a heap.

it does feel a bit like that

they're coming together at the right time of the year

Great game of footy, Hawks taking almost every chance and look slick on the turnover, but Lions have the heeby-jeebies in front of goal. Apart from goal kicking feels even across the ground.

Honestly I'm liking this result. I would be super intrigued to see how Gold Coast would fare in finals if they end up making it.

Not great I’d suspect.

maggots love dingley

Wow good to see disgraceful umpiring doesn’t stop at Dees. Courageous defensive play penalised they are seriously blind with no feeling for the game.

A terrible decision from the umpire there. Shouldn’t be allowed to adjudicate finals with that type of ineptitude

great footy

Wowzers

oh wow ginnivan

perfect timing

two very good teams
