No, get a partner and have lots of kids Rancey. We desperately need some father/son selections.
Gawd. i dont think his kicking is quite the worry that others think. He had 2 goal assists from the back line today. [That's not a stat by the way, its just my memory]. 2 passes there that were spot on. if his terrible diposal results in goals, then keep shanking 'em, i say .

Could only recall his out on the full kick? Was at the game and honestly besides that I didn't notice any other turnovers.
The one thing I love about our backs, especially Grimes and Rance, is that once they beat there man, they run forward and provide an option on the way out.
I think the occasional disposal error is more than outweighed by his ability to run and provide options up the field. With his balance and speed I reckon he could play on smaller forwards as well, he's a massive improver with more to come.

Stats show 6 ineffective disposals....few of those were under the pump though.
Don't get me wrong....I thought he played a very good game,
I watched the reply and he was a lot better than I thought he was when I was live at the ground.
Amazed that so many fans and so called media experts keep bagging the Tross for his supposed poor decision making and disposal.
Constantly takes the game on with run and create footy that opens sides up. Gets near as much footy as quality mids and is under just as much if not more pressure than mids where a mistake doesn't often hurt too much.
He's come on magnificently the last year and a bit, every player. Yep! Even the champions make mistakes and stuff things up at times, yet people seem to be desperate to focus on the few negatives and ignore the positives.
We're building a very handy backline and Rancey's a huge key to it.

Agree, Billy Brownless laid into him for the entire match and was crowing about his out of bounds on the full (just to prove a point). It really peeves me off when commentators ignore what's happening on the ground and resort to repetitive drivel about a player's supposed weakenesses.
lol. Brownless spent his career hiding behind Gary Ablett Sr and still dines out on one kick after the siren.
If he were to line up against Rance in his time he would pull a hammy before the first bounce.
Huge beatup regarding Rance's disposal. Has consistently beaten the best forwards in the league this year and created drive from the back half.
Best part is he is not intimidated by anyone and not afraid to get physical when required.
With Rance, Grimes, Morris, and Batchelor we are building an uncompromising backline Dimma will be proud of for years to come.

ineffective disposal is very misleading stat i believe. for example, when a player kicks down the line to a contest from the defensive 50, and the ball spills to the front off the marking contest and the opposition gets posession of the ball, then it's put down as ineffective when it's the right play.
He is playing well and deserves his spot in the side but he's still making silly errors. For me he should never be allowed to kick out from full back.
