Rance said the competition for spots from players who missed out on last year's premiership was driving the standards and hunger at Punt Road Oval this pre-season.
He forecast more of the high-pressure, defence-first game style that drove the premiers last year.
"Football is a game of mistakes, so we haven't changed anything from last year," the All Australian captain said.
"It's just a matter of doing more of what we want more often.
"It's going to be a lot of the same from last year unfortunately … no big razzle moves, so I hope it doesn't bore too many people."
