Vickery and Tigers should say good-bye: Barrett

[the claw]

Rance was developing well in his spot and you are / were hoppin'

im sorry judge but revisionism just wont work.

rance ws terrible insome areas as he went along.  im happy to say i didnt think he would improve enough in those areas to become a well rounded defender in that i can say i was wrong.

i still look at him and would like to have him play in a different role. i suppose that doesnt wash down too well with most.

i as rarley on this site myself. if you want to see my thoughts on richo you would have to go over to pre.i can tell you now. on one hand i loved the bloke, on the other hated him to hell.
always thought he was athletically gifted enough to play as a hff and we go out and find a couple of good kpfs.  hated the tantrums and the abysmal finishing.
felt we would never ever develop another tall fwd while he was there, that wasnt  entirely his fault though.

athletically richo was a once in a  generation fwd just like franklin is now. richo was a superb aeralist though unlike buddy.buddy imo is the more complete player .

What  areas were those.

I seem to recall him being a junior AA, being a gun as soon as he walked in the door, and playing well showing continually improvement culminating in AA selection this year.

Bravery, determination, pace, fitness, acceleration on the lead, 1v1 defending etc. - have always been strengths

Hence he was talked up as a potential top 10 pick

now that is revisionism at its best no point even going there with such big blinkers on. did you see him at all as a junior. did you watch his first 4 or 5 yrs with us. i have to say you didnt.

  I love Rance as much as the next bloke (Claw not included) but that surely has to be fishing
