Alex Rance

[tigerjoe]

This kid is going to be a star.

He is improving with every game.

All things going well he will be our gorilla stopper for the next decade.

We just need to find another one.

Grimes and Astbury will come on given time.

Has you ever seen a player who looked as big a spazz as this guy did, come on so much? I don't think I have.

Has you ever seen a player who looked as big a *z as this guy did, come on so much? I don't think I have.

Chris Langford looked worse, fact is Rocket Eade used to call him ""Frank as in Frank Spencer (those over 40 will know what I mean).
Other notables include Brian Harris (Lake), Matthew Primus and Jake King.

I'd given up on Rancealot becoming an AFL player.

I'm slowly becoming convinced he will make it.

Excellent tonight.

Well done Rancey!

Brisbane have won many a game like this off the back of Browne's boot. Alex dissevers huge credit for not letting that happen.

Great game,overall l reckon he's been pretty goodthis year.

Agree - thought he was very close to our best tonight. Matching it with J.Brown is an achievement in anybody's book. Coming of age.

 

[Danog]

Anybody know why his nickname is Albatross?

He said the nickname just evolved in this order Al, Alex, Albee, Albratross, and finally "The Tross" as he is now known!

jimbob was harsh to write him off.

 

[U2Tigers]

Was very good tonight.

And I tip my hat off, he was playing injured for a while there, (3rd quarter i think he got injured) but he still got to contests, and spoiled brown to perfection more times than not.

Yep, very courageous is Alex.

 

[Streak]

Personally I reckon Brown was not right for tonights game.

But Rance did what he had to. You can only beat the bloke you are playing on, so hats off to Rancey.

Has struggled since his return. In the past we might've been expected to play him back into form.

Probably more of a cannon.

Nice backhander streak. The tross was very good tonight and I think J.Brown is at what would be considered 100% right now
Rancealot was v.good tonight excellent I'd say........

jimbob was harsh to write him off.

Can't recall writing him off but has exceeded expectation. Wouldn't surprise many however if I was wrong (again).

Did well tonight.

 

[Tigerdog]

I'll put my hand up. I wrote him off. Still not totally convinced, but I want him to succeed.
