and BTW against Freo - he was only on Bradley from half way through the 3rd qtr, was on McPhee before that and beat him (watched that game again yesterday b4 I went to the 'G)
How can this be true? Jackstar goes to the game and watches the replay twice. lmfao
So Rance moves to Bradley then we absolutely run away with the game. Well that's a effing eye opener. For some. 
I'm happy to not have bellchambers and hooker at punt road.
writing off young players after a bad game are we mate? 
yep thers a lot of writing off young players after one game but there is also a lot of proclaiming young players after one decent game.
on rance and its just my opinion in the main over the journey hes been very ordinary.
against essendon like all and sundry have said he had a very good game. does this mean all of a sudden his deficiencies have disappeared and hes become a good player.
credit to him he played a ripper but i for one wont be proclaiming him a player until he can CONSISTENTLY play to the standard.
god knows we have had a shedload of deficient players over the yrs play the odd blinder or even the odd decent season only to revert back to their level and go by the wayside.
personally i have no faith in rance making it and as such if in charge would be organising the list accordingly just in case.
the upside is hes still only 21 only played 30 odd games. hes in yr 4 and by now you do want to see good signs. perhaps the essendon game is the beginning of better things to come. being a fourth yr player though does mean he should be open to some criticism.
personally atm if i had to choose between hooker and rance id take hooker in a heart beat thats not to say over time it may change. hookers 2011 season to date has been pretty good apart from the very quite one against us and one earlier n the season. this on top of a decent 2010 and 09.
hooker actually gets just as much ball as rance and yep makes his fair share of mistakes with it in hand. but in the main he has made solid decisions and uses it okay.. in the air imo is where hooker has it over rance he takes a decent grab is good one on one in the main and is reliable. rance is 21 and played 30 odd games and hooker is 22 and played 40 odd games. i reckon hooker has been reasonable for the last 3 seasons.i think hooker a nice mix of attack and most importantly defend. hes a great size and more than capable of playing on your browns clokes dawes etc. ican say i think hooker will be a decent mid to long term afl player i dont know if one can categorically say that about alex yet.
anyway just my perspective. im hoping like hell rance becomes a very good big bodied rebounding kpp for us i was all over him as a junior but its as a senior i have concerns.
