Sorry, I don’t understand this.
what do you mean “work for the church for 6 months TAX free”? But then he can earn an income after that? Doesn’t make sense.

Re: working for the church, the FeralScum has a clickbait story behind the paywall about him doing something literally "world's away" from the RFC.
Im not giving that ahole Rupert Murdoch my cash, so, it's a mystery.

That story is about Alex conducting a tour to Nepal in November.
Doesn’t sound like a guy who is considering ever coming back. Also it seems some sort of financial arrangement has been agreed.
The positive of course is that this significantly opens up our salary cap.
so I don’t cry every night, I soothe myself with three points.

Won a flag without him
but I really want him back
Really like this post craigo.
I reckon Rancey had a big part to play in our premiership(s) last year.
Mentored Grimesy & the rest of the backline. Mentored the VFL boys too..
Attacked his rehab like a man possessed in the quest to return despite the long odds. That would have rubbed off on all his team mates, driving them harder. Knowing he was coming..
Inspirational.
Knew when to abandon his quest so as it wouldn't be a distraction to his team mates at the pointy end.
Through out all of it kept a sunny disposition.
Right until the point after the Grand Final Siren when he knew his chance of a flag (possibly his last opportunity) had been taken from him & he broke down emotionally. Who could blame him for that?
His team mates awarded him the Francis Bourke Award & he played half a game.. Says it all.
I have nothing but the upmost respect & gratitude for one of Richmond's greatest ever players & wish him every success in his life post football.
Yes things move on pretty quickly in footy but some losses are felt more than others. Alex Rance left a mark, an indelible legacy on our club.
Above it all I just loved watching him play. The ultimate attacking defender.
I'll surely miss him. Viva la Trossman.
Read in today's HS of Rance's new business venture leading a trek through Nepal, to promote personal development and leadership skills. At first glance, i thought well there goes any chance of a return, but then towards the end of it i read that it's planned in November, which gives me some hope that he's picked a date - pretty much the only date that would suit if indeed he did make a comeback.
In reality it might be that he's picked that date as it's the best time weather wise. If that is he case, please nobody confirm that, as i still live with some hope of the great man's return.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Hmm. Pretty cold in Nepal in November. Would optimal trekking season normally be a bit earlier?
Alec aint no mug . Plenty smart in sport , life style & making a quid. Alec at 30 did his knee requiring full reconstruction first game 2019. Alec has decided he cannot do the hard yards anymore so that is it. Good bye Alec & for those who have witnessed his deeds for the The Tiger Army thank God you played us the Tiger Faithful.
We managed to win the flag without Rance, but players like that are irreplaceable. Not many could play as well as him but he had to go sometime and there were always questions relating to his religion and whether it would influence when he retired.
Such is life, would love him back but we have to move on and plan for the season without Rance. I doubt he will be back but we live in hope. The decision to leave him on the list is wise, if not for the chance of a comeback, then to make sure no other club can recruit him.

Seems like this call (even though its in November) puts a line through Rance making a comeback in 2020. So be it, I just hope he is not in opposition colours come Round 1 2021.
So Rance is irreplaceable and yet we still won the flag without him? Raises the question then of how far out in front we would have been had he played.
