Dane Rampe (/ˈræmpi/ RAM-pee;[1] born 2 June 1990) is an Australian rules football player who plays for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL).[2] He previously served as co-captain of the Swans from 2019 until the end of the 2023 season.
Early life
Rampe was born in Sydney and grew up in Clovelly, New South Wales. His grandparents and father had migrated to Sydney from Estonia.[3] Rampe grew up near to the SCG and attended the Sydney Swans vs. Collingwood match in which Tony Lockett kicked his record-breaking 1,300th AFL goal as one of the hundreds who flooded the field when it occurred.[4] He credits this event as converting him in to a passionate Swans fan,[4] following this he became a regular at matches and idolised Brett Kirk, Adam Goodes and Jude Bolton[5] The Swans-West Coast Eagles rivalry also inspired an intense passion for AFL.[5][6]

AFL career
Rampe made his debut for the Swans in 2013 and went on to play 23 games in that season.
In March 2017, Rampe injured himself while out jogging. He fell and broke his arm.
Rampe had an outstanding 2019 season, albeit not without some controversy. He was appointed co-captain alongside Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker prior to the season,[11] and he won his first best-and-fairest award for the Swans after playing all but one match for the year.[12] He gained notoriety during the year when he jumped onto a goalpost after the Round 8 match against Essendon to stop David Myers from trying to kick a goal after the siren. He was fined A$1,000 for his stunt, and A$10,000 for saying "You talk like a little girl" to the umpire.[13]
In 2020, Rampe had another excellent year in defence, although impeded significantly with a broken hand sustained in Rd 8 against Hawthorn. Remarkably he had continued to play another four games with the injury, before further damage led to a premature end to his season.[14] His courage over continuing to play with the injury lead to him being awarded the Robert Rose Award for Most Courageous Player at the end of the season.[15]
