I think he means what if Rance is holding out because he wants 5 years and we're only offering 2 or 3 years...whereas Martin was happy to commit to only 2 years.

Pretty much. More rubbish defending Rance.

I reckon half of em will follow him across and barrack for Freo if and when he goes

The guy is just trying to get the best deal for himself.

FMD, what is so wrong with that? Hopefully we can give him what he wants. Of not, we will get a first round pick. That's reality. We better get used to it.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

For me the club is bigger than the player.

It's a little more than simply wanting the best for himself (which is ok to a point), it's dragging the club through negative PR and uncertainty at the 23rd hour. It also potentially jeopardizes how we will be able to recruit a really good gun and what we will (dangerfield etc).

Actually the more i think about it, if he doesn't want to sign then gtfo

Another reason why we should've stuffed off Newman and upgraded Big Bad Benny Darrou.

Benny was too short for AFL KPFs. Lots of heart, not enough height.

Did everything that was asked of him and more-  was rarely ever beaten for two years in a crap side, yet was still considered "too short" ....so really the questions have to be asked - why draft him in the first place then...why not just go out and draft a 195+ KPD to start with instead of putting unrealistic expectaions on a 190cm kid who it now seems was always going to be considered too short no matter how well he did? Why waste his and the club's time for 3 years? Anyway, as someone who actually saw most of his VFL career, I disagree he couldn't have held his own  in the AFL...jeez, at the very worst he would've been a better version of Kelvin Moore IMO.

Josh Gibson too short for us?

Darrou hard done by IMO. Not Rance's calibre though. Truth is unless he signs we won't have a proper KPD anymore. Astbury is fragile. Chaplin sucks 1 out, best as 3rd man up. Grimes missing an inch of height, a stone of KG's, also fragile. Elton - shown nothing so far.

We lose Rance we're in trouble. Saw what happened last year...

Thought he could be a Gibson type for us. Maybe not quite that good but handy enough.

Grimes is tall enough I reckon. What's the diff between him and ranch? 1 cm from memory

Elton has had one or two really interesting games where he's gone well and pinch hit (well) in the ruck, but most of his games agreed are rubbish
