As soon as the Crow took possession, Houston came charging in and collected him front on with a massive bump.

Rankine appeared to be knocked out in the collision with an all-in melee breaking out between the two sides.

Rankine was eventually stretchered off and subbed out of the game.

Given that Houston elected to bump and Rankine suffered what appeared to be a serious injury then the Port Adelaide gun will come under heavy scrutiny.
