No, it's because it's a Sydney medal/trophy, we've only had this matchup for like three years, seems like it's a regular fixture now as the Swans like our traveling fans attending.

We've had plenty of great indigenous players, Syd Jackson would be fitting given his name.

I think a Freo player won it once, usually a Swan has, though.

I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
Its tough but Rankin ran a full three lengths of grass after bouncing the ball there. Theyre either 8 or 10ms wide, not entirely sure, but 24+meters is too far any day.

The Frankston player ended up in hospital, reported to have a broken cheekbone.

Intentional and severe. Gim him 8 weeks. Webster got 7, Parker deserves more for not learning from that. There is literally no reason for the bump. The ball had gone well past him, but he lined him up and left his feet to bump.

Would be fair enough if they actually called it when it happens instead of plucking that out of nowhere.

You regularly see players run further and not get pinged, including a Crows player just a few minutes earlier.

Had this discussion on Bigfooty (I know, I know...) already, but the umpires never actually pay that based on distance. They always pay it based on steps. Rankine took 14 steps after bouncing. And it's not like he's got giant strides or anything. That run would happen a dozen times every weekend and it never gets paid.

Think about the dinky little kicks that are regularly paid as marks, that distance is apparently 15m in an umpire's mind. Then picture the dozens of times each match that somebody runs further than that.

It was a bad call, but almost certainly didn't cost the Crows the match, and frankly they were only within touch in the first place because Collingwood were extremely wasteful with the ball. Two woefully out-of-form teams playing unaccountable, unskilled footy.


The real tragedy out of that match is Rankine doing his hamstring in the final play of the match. He's been exceptional the last few weeks, a human highlight reel. The competition is lesser for not getting to watch him for a while.
