Alex Rance
- Thread starter Tigers of Old
- Start date
He was the best in defence. He will turn 31 on 09/10, he would need to play a few games in the VFL before call up. Then it's another ball game. Could be useful next year, but after that how long?
How does that make it clear? The Bombers are drafting in randoms from all over the place as they don't have enough players in Queensland to play their VFL game. Rance is doing a favour for a mate in Ben Rutton. Not sure why that somehow means something went on when he left Richmond? Talk about adding 2+2 and getting 5,123,458.
Sad to see.
He left so much on the table we were always left wondering.
If he makes a comeback with the dons than it's a slap in the face.
As it stands he is a tiger premiership hero but sadly that will no doubt change should he engage with the bombers.

Honestly why?
He's been out of the game for two years if he plays at AFL level again. Not 6 months.
The world has changed dramatically in that time & so may have Alex.
I seriously don't understand why any Richmond supporter could have any malice towards a player who gave absolutely everything to the Richmond Footy Club for 10 seasons & was a key ingredient in a drought breaking flag.
He’s in Queensland on holidays where the game happens to be and it’s a bloody practice game.
Settle down everyone. He hasn’t even trained with them. He’s making up numbers
Geez, some nonsense on this thread. Hang your heads in shame.
Rance - Greatest defender Leysy has seen in 40 years watching footy. Big, medium or small. RFC or not.
Champion. Immortal of our club. Wouldn't have broken the drought without him.
Could sleep with Mrs Leysy and view wouldn't change.

Well said Leysy. Part of me would just love to see him playing again, (even with the bombers) felt he was in his prime when he left.
Felt like he was covering 3 forwards in his prime. Amazing player. No player I’ve seen improved more over their career than Rancelot. Hard to split he and RIcho for me as the tigers player Ii remember most fondly. (Dusty is only thought of with AWE)

We’ve been through this garbage with you before. Every defender in the history of Vfl/AFL footy has been beaten from time to time and Alex was no different.
That he was a poor one on one defender is a myth. I remember Dimma saying at one stage that he thought Alex was the best one on one defender in the game.
Best defender I’ve seen at Punt Rd , the ability to stop his opponent as well as help out team mates and then repel is clearly the best I’ve seen . Don’t know if there’s been another player who could play on so many different types and beat them all. First key defender to be tagged ?
No doubt there’s been many great defenders , Scarlett, Fletcher, Dench, Silvagni etc etc, however I garuntee some may have been as good, however none would be better
