BookMan Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Rampe is one of those success stories that the Swans have made their own... Swans defender Dane Rampe signs new four-year contract SYDNEY Swans defender Dane Rampe has been further rewarded for his persistence and consistency after signing a significant contract extension with the club. The 24-year-old has inked a deal that will see him remain with the Swans until the end of the 2019 season. The Sydney local played in the VFL with Williamstown for three seasons, and twice completed a pre-season with the Western Bulldogs, but after continually being overlooked on draft day, Rampe returned home in 2012. At 22, Rampe won the Phelan Medal for the best player in the Sydney AFL competition and was invited down to the Swans, where he impressed, and was eventually taken with the 37th pick in the 2013 NAB AFL rookie draft. The consistent Rampe hasn't missed a game since round four, 2013, and has averaged 16 possessions per match in 2015, filling the running defender role vacated by Nick Malceski at the end of last season. The Swans' rising star award winner in 2013 has played 54 games and has become a vital member of coach John Longmire's defence. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-05-16/swans-defender-dane-rampe-signs-new-fouryear-contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 What a frenetic 2nd quarter in the Collingwood V Richmond game Colingwood dominated the 1st quarter and should have been another 2 goals up at least. Richmond came out that quarter,and kicked 8 goals. Could be the turnaround quarter to set them up this year? Still half a game to go.

Will27 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Once again Friday night throws up a game guaranteed to give Tipsters a headache or two No one like to lose the first game of the week, so this one is doubly hard because our old favourites, the seasoned veterans at letting us down, North Melbourne, are playing Essendon. Regardless. I am backing the kangaroos to win by at least 18 points. Unless I change my mind tomorrow Yep On paper this round looks easy enough. I remember saying that last week though North are playing pretty good footy though and I expect them to beat Essendon I reckon the WB could provide an upset against Freo. Richmond versus Collingwood is a tricky one. I think I over rated Collingwood this year when they really hadn't beaten anyone. Richmond have been terrible though. I expect the Pies to get the choccies. Good luck everyone. I pencilled in Bullies against Freo also. Bulldogs home ground advantage. Sydney V Geelong is at ANZ stadium, not the Swans favorite ground. Collingwood will be hoping they can kick accurately this week. You must've gotten the rubber out BookMan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Here are my goals for this week's tipping round * A perfect 9/9 for me - x * Other tipsters get a 4 at best - x * Chooka stays below me on the ladder - ✓ * I overtake Khun Willy Wonka - x * Swans Win - ✓ * Carlton and Collingwood lose - ✓ * I am able to get Chimpy to take off the ST Kilda jersey chooka gifted him. 3 weeks without a wash! - ? * I am able to watch all games - ? Nice work BookMan. My goals for this week's round are: * To pick Friday nights winner - always a bummer when you get that one wrong - ✓ * For Carnegie Joe not to put in his tips - x * WCE to smash GC - ✓ * GWS to destroy Carlton and for Malthouse to get the arse - 50/50 * I am able to watch all of the games I want as well. Internet being down last week meant I missed Friday's game, 2 on Sat and the last quarter of the WC/Port game - x Only got to watch the last quarter as power was off. * For all of the other tipsters to have a good round, though not as good as mine - ✓ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I agree. Stevie J does too much of this cheap stuff IMO. I reckon they should have different gradings for a hit to the sprouts. No such thing as low impact Fremantle star Nat Fyfe preserves Brownlow eligibility after tripping fineNat Fyfe's Brownlow Medal eligibility is intact after his trip at the weekend was deemed only worthy of a fine by the match review panel, while Steve Johnson escaped penalty altogether for contact to the groin of an opponent. The elite Fremantle midfielder's trip of Western Bulldogs' Koby Stevens was rated as intentional, low impact and body contact. It triggered a base penalty of a $1500 fine, which can be cut to $1000 with a guilty plea. Even though the Dockers may grumble about the incident being rated as intentional - coach Ross Lyon argued the part of Etihad Stadium it occurred on was conspicuously slippery - the penalty was not any higher than it would have been had it been instead judged careless. Fyfe was only facing suspension if the impact to Stevens was rated medium or above. Under the new tribunal rules a player is only ineligible for the Brownlow if they miss a match due to suspension. Furthermore, increased penalties for a bad record, such as Fyfe's for missing four matches in the past two years, only apply to suspensions, rather than fines. Johnson's swat at Sydney's Jarrad McVeigh as they battled to gain possession did not result in a charge, with the panel deeming it was a legitimate attempt to get in a good position to get the ball ahead of his opponent. Had Johnson been charged and his strike deemed intentional conduct he would have received a three-match ban that could have been cut to two with a guilty plea. Had it been deemed careless it would have triggered a fine of $2500 that could be cut to $1500. Crucially, the latter would have resulted in Johnson missing at a match if he was found guilty of a minor offence later this season, as players can only be fined twice for such offences before suspensions apply. http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/fremantle-star-nat-fyfe-preserves-brownlow-eligibility-after-tripping-fine-20150518-gh49oi.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
