Rance began hitting his straps in 2011, playing 19 games and averaging 18.1 disposals. In 2012 he played 22 games for the first time and averaged 17.9 disposals including 6.2 marks per game.
Yeah, I was going to say i reckon 2012 was the year Rance became a good defender- i doubt many would have called for him to be delisted that year, definitely in the years prior.
I'm not comparing Balta to Rance but I reckon this is somewhat overstated. Stats don't tell the whole story.
Richmond key defender Noah Balta was allegedly punched in the mouth while helping to coach a local soccer team in Altona North on Sunday, the club has confirmed.
A fight broke out during the game and Balta, who was helping coach the team which also featured close friend and former Tigers ruckman Ivan Maric, was struck in the mouth. He was not seriously injured.
He informed Richmond of the incident and the Tigers have cleared him of any wrongdoing. The AFL integrity unit has been informed as a matter of protocol.

Agree. What was half decent about the sport has been pissed on by the "fans" in this country.
Wasn't me. I don't go anywhere near the soccer n haven't been to Altona since Friday.
