Oversold it, but remember it’s supposed to be an automatic free kick for having ur hand placed on the back, doesn’t even need to be a push anymore. Remember richo copping it in the first dream time game when scores were essentially level deep into time on when the rule was first introduced.

Didn't look good.

He dived and seeing the Sydney bloke copped a fine for his "sack of potatoes" collapse so he should be fined too.

Having watched the replay, things not helped by the fact umpire got the call wrong. No hand in the back, just a hand in the side

Simple fact is Rance doesn’t need to do it. His footy is good enough without it. I hope he stops because he is better than that.

was clearly a soft push in the back nevertheless it was there, not happy about him milking it tough

Was clearly in the side, not even a free kick. Was just out played

Wayne Carey and Paul Roos are unimpressed with Alex Rance's free kick

"It's in a contest so the answer to that (whether Rance is fined) is no, but there's no doubt Rancey will see that vision and will try to cut that out of his game," Carey said on Triple M.

"It's not a good look for him ... he's an absolute star, the best defender of his time right now.

"Doing those types of things just puts a little bit of a stain on what is a glorious career.

"He's a great bloke, a great person and all those things - he just has to cut that crap out."

Carey is certain that Rance took a dive.

"If you asked someone to do a Superman impression, that's exactly what he did," Roos said.

Former premiership coach Paul Roos said that if Rance was a younger player, there is no doubt a Richmond coach would have a stern word with him.

"If it's a young person, absolutely, you're whacking him," Roos said.

Roos also said it is the first time in his long football career that he has seen a defender dive to that extent.

"Is it smart play? ... I'm perplexed," he said.

This garbage about his legacy is absolute tripe.  I may be biased but I have never thought Alex was a diver.  Not sure where this is coming from.  Yes he over emphasized the push the other night but it's not his normal action.

Maybe it has something to do with our free kick differential and the fact we can't get a free kick

Does anyone talk about that in the media? No. 

Kane Cornes fighting for the Port Adelaide game this week.  Poor old Alex won't be getting too many free kicks this week.

Lets face it, its the only way for a Richmond player to get a free these days ... Rance was just pointing that fact out!    :P

Rance is the perennial club joker so think his added theatrics are just part of who he is. Perhaps if he could go back in time he would have played it differently but thats Alex, he is a different personality type to most of the other players.

The only way it hurts his legacy is these media bozos continually going on about it as if he does it every single week. Or any other time he gets a dodgy free kick...you can expect them to be rambling on & Kane Cornes going back to 2011 to find example of more dodgy Rance frees.
