Alex Rance
- Thread starter Tigers of Old
- Start date
Disagree. Assuming a deal hasn’t been done before he announced his retirement, he is worth a very good first rounder to a team looking to add a bit of confidence and skill and to go far into September.
Bulldogs the perfect fit.
We are only going to have to use two picks and we already have
Collingwood ‘s and our own second.
Nothing less than either this year or next years first from a competitor like the Bulldogs. Otherwise he can follow
Luke Hodge into the National Draft.
Not about me disagreeing, it's about what other teams will want to give. It's a buyers market as Richo said. Two years out, knee reco, uncertainty over why he broke ranks. It will be a junk pick or nothing.
Only two first round picks.
It's not like I'm asking for the World!
We need to get the guy from Geelong who handles the Tim Kelly trade.
2 x first round pick
2 x second round picks
Don’t believe it will be nothing if the Bulldogs go close this year, they will really consider topping up for 2021.
Rance would be a perfect fit and frankly why should we help him if in the end it is apparent that he left only because he and perhaps others, felt he had to go.
Their second at this stage looks likely to come in after Collingwood’s and our own.
We will go for Rioli and one other and may want to use our 1st rounder in
another trade plus a player, which may or may not go through.
So there is no way we should advantage the Bulldogs, and as much as I regret saying, this no way we owe Rance (if rumours that 5 games in he has already decided to resume his career).
We have a reputation for helping our players find new homes.
That’s a valuable part of our culture.
This case is the exception and we should hang on until bust.
Is that right? If so I stand corrected. So we have our first and second plus St Kilda’s second?
No difference really.
Because people are still for some god-awful reason pushing the whole affair rumour with Jack Higgins' partner even though it doesn't appear that there was ever anything concrete to back it up.
Clear is overstating it, I retract that. the timing of the departure which was terrible from a list management point of view and all the signals saying he won't play again for us is all l have to go on.
I don't put any store in the malicious gossip either though.
I have no idea if there's a rift between Rance and the club. Hopefully not, and if he comes back it's with us. If there is a problem and he wants to go to another contender, I'd play hardball given he is contracted and could be the difference to a contending club. I know we're all about love and mungbeans, but retiring with two years on your contract and then wanting to un-retire with a rival while still contracted would have me inclined to say they can pay up or he can sit out another year. Imagine giving him away for pick 80 and he destroys Jack in a final. No.
Cos that stig poster couldn't wait to confirm there was a rift when someone speculated it. FFS though, dont ask what it was about or you'll be told to move on with an exclamation mark.
