Round 11, 2015

North Melbourne, Docklands

North Melbourne 10.15 (75) def. by Sydney Swans 14.7 (91)

Rampe was instrumental as Sydney grinded out a 16-point win over North Melbourne in Round 11, 2015. The Swans had the measure of an ominous Kangaroos forward line stamped with towering trio Ben Brown, Drew Petrie and Jarrad Waite, with Sydney’s defenders taking 23 first-half marks and 53 for the game. Rampe carried the mantle in the Docklands clash, posting 26 disposals, collecting 14 marks and helping Heath Grundy and Jeremy Laidler keep Brown, Petrie and Waite to just one goal between them. Rampe also teamed up with Rhyce Shaw to keep a lid on VFL/AFL games record-holder Brent Harvey. The former rookie’s rock-solid performance earned him 30 Club Champion votes and helped the Swans to a sixth-straight win.
