Dane Rampe: Sydney Swans veteran set to face Match Review scrutiny for hit on Zak Butters

Sydney veteran Dane Rampe faces a nervous wait should the Swans seal a grand final berth, with the defender set to come under Match Review scrutiny for a hit on Zak Butters.

Rampe left his feet and made contact to Butters’ jaw with his elbow while trying to close down a handpass late in the opening term of Friday night’s preliminary final against Port Adelaide.

Butters was cleared to continue, but the action will undoubtedly be assessed ahead of a ruling on Saturday afternoon.

“Does the point of his elbow catch him on the *****?” Seven analyst and Rampe’s former teammate Jude Bolton asked on the broadcast.

The Swans opened up a 25-point lead at half-time as they look to return to a grand final and avenge their loss in the 2022 decider.

Rampe is Sydney’s second-most experienced player, celebrating his 250th game in the prelim.

Rampe has featured in 22 finals matches – the equal-second most finals by a player without winning a premiership.

Only Nick Dal Santo (24) has featured more times in the post-season without snaring the ultimate success.
