i know you blokes dont agree but he is a very ordinary player indeed.some areas of his game are appalling and there is just no way he will improve them.
getting a player like frawley in f/a would easily off set the loss of rance. billy longer and a second rnd pick would see us a mile in front on that one.
if i could conjure up a decent deal for vickery id do it in a heart beat but ya know what i doubt wed get anything for him.
So you think Rance is a very ordinary player.... Indeed, but you think the Brisbane Lions would give away a player they picked up with pick 8 in the 2011 National draft AND a second round pick for him?? For you to write that it shows me you must rate Rance more than than you let on. Get over it man, you are just making yourself look stupid!!
what you cant take the leap and grasp that a player can be ordinary and still have percieved value.
if i ranked every regular kpd in the comp all 36 of them rance would be in the bottom 10 percent.
oh by the way richard tambling was extremely ordinary but had percieved value. how about jordie mcmahon. at the end of the day it all comes down to how you rate em and me i think rance a poor player.im sure there is some fool club out there prepared to part with plenty for rance especially clubs in need of kpds. hence i mentioned bl and wce.
i mentioned two young ruckmen neither have become regular players hence rance is in front of them both are struggling to get a game because they have other very good players well in front of them.
rank rance highly at your peril but hes a 6 yr player heading towards what 90 100 games and the same problems exist now as they did when we drafted him. ive been thru on numerous occasions the many things he regularly gets wrong surely i dont need to do them again.
i know we can do better than him the fact is we must do better than him.
unfortunately we havent really drafted a young kpd with a decent pick since we drafted rance. for some reason they seem to think their development with the big blokes is so good they can convert forwards to defenders all i can say to that is it aint worked. hence alex to tiger supporters is important because there is no competition for his spot.
