You might find that Gas outside 50 having a shot at goal was fairly accurate

Ch 7 news tonight said Rance was on Daniher for 47% of the game last night and during that time Daniher was goal-less and only had 3 touches.

Great stat, but doesn't just reflect the job he did on Daniher. Reflects how many times Rance left Daniher to provide assistance to his fellow defenders and didn't get caught out. I heard the commentators mention a number of times how well Astbury has been playing this season. Rance is a big reason for this. His ability to read the play is almost psychic.

Forget two Dusty's Dimma, get another Rance!

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
