Strong from @sydneyswans: "What is already clear from our work to-date is that the actions and attitudes of some within our club has damaged and diminished the many great things we do, and the great people who do them. This is unacceptable and must change."

Great player but didn't fully appreciate his brilliance until I stood on the fence behind goals while Rampe was defending. He was all over everyone with instructions, helping/supporting teammates and fighting every moment to stop scores. Team first every moment.

Thank you for everything, Ramps ❤️
