Title: Trade Rance to WA and get Frawley
Post by: Phil Mrakov on February 15, 2014, 12:44:53 PM
Sick of his 'Alex Rance moments'...... We won't win a flag with him in our backline, falls over way too much and is just an all round goose.

I don't think trading Race is the go, our backline was disfunctional all night and they were all caught out.

Get Frawley yes, he was very composed!

Didn't think Rance could improve on his moments.But after last night he took it to another level.

If we want to get Frawley we do not need to trade anyone nor give up any draft picks.

Post was never up to the standard. Rance has shown that he can play to a decent standard.

We don't have the cap space. Newman retires and we get rid of Rance = we can afford Frawley

Rance is a very good player IMO and yes he has a few moments but every player who plays the game has those same moments...clangers, etc. Clearly in the top bracket of defenders. Frawley is also a very good player but his kicking lets him down too much, but he is a great defender just like Rance. I am very happy with Rance as his last few years have been fantastic.

Any ideas of elite midfielders who will be free agents at the end of the season?

NAB Challenge dude. Start hanging it on Rance if he doesn't perform during the H&A season. At least Rance takes a gun most week....Melbourne's best dressed gardener runs around like a fairy and is hailed as saviour.

Dietician not sure what your smoking but No rance and we are royally screwed in 2014. Great player

people seemed to have forgotten the struggle we have had as a club over the last 30 years to have decent full backs. Turner was ok after he came to Richmond, Gaspar we had to recruit from Sydney and was good. Rance is the first one weve had in 30 years whose any good who we have brought through after drafting him.

Post actually could mark and kick on either foot. Had good height and leap too and was cut too early. Petterd can't do anything, is short, no composure, no skill lol

Petterd can do a few things ok BUT he 9 irons the ball to our disadvantage far too often. Not in our best 22 for mine

Oh...and Rance's kicking efficiency was 80% last year. Hardly a turnover king

I dont think there was anybody in our side that broke into a sweat on Friday night. Rance was just as bad as anybody else. No player gave a rats clacker about that game, it was obvious.

i voted no. we should keep rance and get frawley. its not as if we have depth in the area yet alone a current replacement for rance. i keep on saying it third tall role  for rance.
atm we are two big bodied kpds shy of what we need on the LIST. i say list opposed to  in the best 22.

i still think when looking where we are at as far as development and capable players goes we should have
2 more ruckmen  1/ junior 21 and under,  and 1/ development. 22 thru 24. making a total of 5.  imo maric 29, hampson 26, orren 31, are the only real ruckmen we have capable of holding down first ruck now or in the future. ask yourselves what should be the aim be in  3 or 4  yrs time as far as this area is concerned.

2 kpd both  with the potential to play on the  big blokes. one junior one development or early mature. these two go with chaplin whos 28 this yr , rance, grimes and possibly astbury and darrou.
what we have atm is hardly inspiring overall.

2 key forwards. 1/ in the gunston mould. 1/  in the cloke mould. could do with one at around 22 24 yrs and the other a junior.

how do we go down this path as far as type goes. easy just cut the excess flankers of which we have far too many.
