Gold Coast (SE - QLD).
I remember earlier on that Rance said he would like a midfield role like Richo.

Rance said he'd been keeping up with Richo on time trials so why shouldn't he be given a similar role, he argued.

Well I like the kid's confidence.

I think he should get a go on the wing like Richo did.

bring back Thursfield to cover Rance in defence.

Worst thing could happen? We lose?

Gee wouldn't that be difficult for us all to cope with [/sarcasm].

I'd rather us getting beaten while trying new things than getting beaten repeating the same old stuff.

Comments?
 
Spot on. If the kid has the confidence and obviously the ability to do it, let him go. It would lift his game so much because he has a point to prove and he would be hard to match up on. Rance is a glimmer of hope in this bleak season. Terry may have bungled his time at tigerland but his legacy may well be some pure gems in the like of Deledio, Foley, Rance etc.
But back to your point.. Why not?? Like you said whats the worst that could happen??
 
Sounds like a great idea. Alex has a good head and a great work ethic and desire to learn. If he fails I'm sure it will motivate him to work harder to succeed.

Totally agree. To be honest Richmond bore me with all this set play, hug the boundary, switch the play stuff. Bowden or Mcmahon off half back is just circle work tedium. Put Tambling there, and have him charging through the lines and that is more interesting.

Right now, I am more interested in how Delidio is developing, how Cogs fits in, how Cuz is looking. Some interest from last week's game was Graham going forward and looking like he can kick a reliable goal. Richo out...do we bring in *smile*? Hardly exciting stuff...chance after chance Jay has had...

Put Rance on the ball/wing and let him run his opponent into the ground. Give him a chance to show what he's got.

And like Richo can't kick for *smile*.
 
Troy Simmonds as Full Forward, not what I want, too old and maybe past it, maybe Hughes,Rance, Goudis, or Post.
Think we need more options, but I think we do not have them.
