Not-a-cluey Alex Rance to leave the Tigers

[Matchu]

Alex Rance is an unrestricted free agent this year which means he can go wherever he wants to in 2016. Rumours that have been spread about him so far:

• Freo are chasing him.
• Brisbane are chasing him.
• He is considering retirement.

And here I though Brisbane were in incredibly difficult trouble and need draft and/or salary cap concessions?

Greg Swann knows the AFL will cough up the money if it means the Lions end up landing a big name.

He's retiring to go on a spiritual journey through the Himalayas, isn't he?

 

[hench]

I thought he was going to a WA team until the media started pushing the "Leppa made him the player he is today" narrative over the last week.

 

[HowYouDoin]

Why is it that leppa can make rance play, but he can't make our players do the same?

Maybe because he didn't turn Rance into a superstar overnight?

 

[RUNVS]

Rance up one end and Hawkins at the other would improve Brisbane enormously.

If he is moving for money then I am positive the weages or us can match anything the cash strapped lions will offer.

Crying poor, dwindling crowds vs Go home, brand new stadium with 50,000 +, very well financed clubs

Hmm, let me think it over

The Lions are far from cash strapped salary cap wise. They have a shitload of cap space free and there is potential for up to an extra 1 mill to become available at the end of this season. The club has enough cap space to offer big money to 2 KPP's.

Rance is either staying with the Tigers or moving Home, He'll get paid at the tigers. Don't worry about that

You sound so certain, l don't think it is as simple as "stay with tigers or go home", there are other factors.

Even tho i am a Brissie supporter l do think there is a genuine case that he might go to us. Although if Leppa wasn't coaching us, l doubt he would come.

What is the gravitational pull that takes him to Brissie

I don't think he is going to stay at the Tigers, l would think either Freo/West Coast or us imo.

For us, the reasons would be money and Leppa.

His relationship with Leppa perhaps.

His relationship with Leppa perhaps.

Can you elaborate, apart from being an assistant at Punt rd what relationship ?

Lol

No.

 

[peppy la pew]

No.

Well that's disappointing, as you clearly know something I don't know.

 

[RightYouAreThen]

i think Hawthorn is running the ruler over him...

 

[theyellowsash]

meh...brisbane, west coast, hawthorn, i dont really care where he ends up. any of those clubs would be a better career move than staying with us. i cant see any reason he would want to stay. hopefully we at least get a good compo pick for him, he should be worth at least what frawley was.

We will only get that if we finish bottom 4, compo picks come after your first pick right?

i think its a good chance, plus that would be bottom 6 not bottom 4. we will probably win 4-6 more games this year so thats probably around the mark

Its just a shame the AFL have to cough up the cash so you can pay these blokes

Because his relationship with an ex-assistant coach is more of a lure than friends, family and teammates.
