Alex Rance
- Thread starter Tigers of Old
- Start date
3 years is a long time out of the game coupled with an ACL. If he can do it successfully it would be an incredible comeback.
The problem is, that's just the sort of challenge a guy like Rance would relish. If any one could, he will.
[Now just wondering if his unexplained, sudden departure was due to a fallout with Dimma. No contact with for 3 years; but still in contact with his former backline mentor, Rutten, who was only coach mentioned in departure speech].
Yeah join the dark side Jazzy D
Boooo Rancey Pansy the so called champion who got bent over from a bloke that never played the game.
Im hitting the boundary

Rance was the full package when Jake Stringer was still a parcel in his mother’s letter box

Regardless of whether he played for us or elsewhere in 2022, it'd be a huge risk. Been out of the game a long time. Remember Lockett's comeback anyone?
Essendon have always scrapped the bottom of the barrel
When comes to recruiting
people only think he wasnt great 1v1 because it was so noticeable when someone kicked a goal on him.
Except against the Swans when he would go to Franklin (until Buddy got moved to the wing to get a kick), Rance wold trot back to the goal square every week and line up against who the opposition sent to him, whether that was Tex Walker, Harry Taylor, Cyril Rioli or Jake Melksham. And he would typically stop them while still helping his teammates.
They are saying in the papers it’s a once off game given he is up on the Coast.
Some players seem to get better in the eyes of supporters when they are out of the game.
For some reason, with Rance he gets worse in the eyes of some supporters since he's been out of the game.
The best defender I've seen play for Richmond. Grimes is outstanding, but Rance was still a better overall player as much as I like Dylan.
So good was Rancy that he started on his man ,then bolted towards the ball getting to a incredible amount of contests,holly crap he doubled the contests of many other AFL top 10 defenders even beating Talia who never ever ever leaves his man.
George not going anywhere, can't see him getting a game at any other club.
