Trent Cotchin will lead the Richmond team for a fourth consecutive year as Tigers’ captain, with the Club finalising its player leadership group for 2016.
 
Joining the five-man leadership group is reigning Jack Dyer Medal winner and All Australian defender, Alex Rance, and dynamic small forward, Shane Edwards.
 
Remaining in the leadership group is Brett Deledio, Ivan Maric and Cotchin.

At the end of 2015, Rance, 26, capped off his best season at Richmond, winning the Club’s Best and Fairest award and receiving All Australian honours for the second consecutive year.
 
The talented tall defender has long been recognised by his teammates as an influential leader, with a strong voice on and off the field.
 
Edwards, 27, has improved his game each season and is regarded as a key cog in the Richmond team amongst the playing and coaching group.
 
Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson said Rance and Edwards’ inclusions are a credit to both players’ development in recent seasons.
 
“Alex and Shane both continuously drive the standards that we expect at our football club, and we know they’ll continue to do that in the responsibilities of their new roles,” Richardson said.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I love Rancey but I'm sure the guy should be rewarded with a leadership position when he takes extended leave - unless it's a one off.
Sends a compromised message to players about leadership and commitment.

If you're only wanting blokes who've performed in finals then there isn't much choice - Cotchin is one of only 6 players that has at least one good finals match under his belt.
