lol at the defenders of all things rance.
if we are smart we will be shopping him around in the hope of getting something decent for him. yes even i am optimistic at times but i dont think rival clubs are dumb enough to give up something decent for a hack.
things that regularly happen
gets beaten one on one, falls over at critical time and often, regularly misjudges the ball in the air, regularly gives away free kicks, regularly gets caught out of position because he lacks a footy brain and he regularly turns the ball over under pressure. he probably concedes more goals than any other defender in the entire comp.
yet all of these things are forgiven in a heart beat because hes courageous he pulls of the odd desperate spoil or has the odd despeate act. unbelievable.
This is probably the most wrong post ever
So way back in 2013 he was not falling over at critical times, was not getting beaten one v one regularly, was not regularly misjudging the ball in the air, was not turning the ball over under pressure and was not regularly concedeing goals.
As i have regularly said i stand by everything i have said about Rance at the time. he was poor, and this thread shows i was not the only one who saw it.
if you want to revise history just to make yourself look good or join in a 6 yr old thread just to try and score a few cheap points go for it,Says more about you than anything you post.
i stand by what i said head in the sand chucky. He was poor for a good while before he became a good player. and my commentary reflected it.
At the risk of copping more vitriol i still think he struggles standing toe to toe in one v ones.
I think the issue is that you are far too quick to call players duds. Most need a few years of development before you should comment. Rance was like an unbridled stallion when he first started. He has now been an AA for the last 4 years. You are far too quick to criticise and that gets others off side. Also many of the suggested players you have named we should have recruited have ended up bring duds at other clubs. We all have hits and misses. Considering we won a flag and a minor premiership in the last two years our recruiting can't have been that bad when compared to other teams.
Rance was recruited in 2007. this thread was bought up from 2013.Too quick i dont think so. A running commentary is just that a running commentary.
I left Rance alone in his early yrs and tend to NOT comment on players in their early yrs.
Simple fact is and no matter how much tiger supporters want to revise history Rance was poor early.Fact is most players arent great.
5 times consecutive AA with one of those captain but whose counting.......
So he became a good player that doesnt mean he wasnt poor.
