Rance & Deledio named in AFL website's Team of the Year

[one-eyed]

Full Back
ALEX RANCE (Richmond) - A complete player who has claims as the best defender in the game, Rance combined attack and defence brilliantly in 2015. He was selected in 10 teams, more than any other defender, and beat the likes of Travis Cloke, Jeremy Cameron and Drew Petrie.

Interchange
BRETT DELEDIO (Richmond) - The Tigers' most important player, Deledio ignited the Tigers from round seven onwards, both as a midfielder and a forward. He kicked 26 goals and averaged a career-high 1.5 inside 50s. He imposed himself on games at the right time consistently and was selected in five times (twice as a forward, three times as a midfielder).

Surely it's time that Rance isn't only regarded as the best defender currently in the game, but one of the best players in the competition.
