But but Alex Rance had only 7 kicked on him last round. He wins. Funny how the selection panel has ex Richmond players on it and an ex Richmond coach.

Alex Rance is reputation not substance.

Has many brain fades and undisciplined idiotic things happen.

I mean sure Spud does undisciplined rough them up type stuff this guy whacks peoples heads into the turf while they're prone on the deck.

 

[Mr north man]

North get stuffed by the AA selectors again. ******* hate the afl sometimes l.

Isn't Darcy from Scumdogs and that that phony from The Adelaide throws selectors?

 

[Mr north man]

I can't search for words to describe how he on earth he missed AA selection, because of who the selecters are.

Anti North

Alex Rance is commentator regurgitation which is hardly subliminal.

He is a gun they tells ya all game... and how good did Buddy play to kick 7 on the great Alex Rance.

Meanwhile...donut city week after week on Tarrant with the odd Joe the Goose and they were injured or they had a bad day or bad supply or the umpires did not reward the forward or some other excuse other than Tarrant beat them hands down.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Buddy kicked five on Rance at the MCG too and some in the media had Rance as BOG.

 

[Page8383]

Understand the comments on here - but I'm really not too fussed about AA selection. Just a media fap fest and adds $$$ to players contract negs (NA to Tarrant as has just resigned)
B+Fs positions are far more valuable as they gauge the role the player has played to the teams win strategy and overall value

Unlucky Taz but - meh - whatever

Bloke just asked KB what got Talia over the line.

KB's response:

 

[amaz199]

AFL has gone full *. I mean, seriously? Wtf does Robbie have to do in order to be considered 'worthy' to the selectors?

 

[SMaturin]

They get together and scrawl the team on the back of a napkin after a long lunch at the Melbourne Club.

 

[toepoker]

Let's face it - would you rather be judged AA by the coaches or Luke Darcy?

Say that again?

Absolutely love Taz, he's been phenominal this year. Got a real sense of leadership about him also, couldn't think of a more deserving player for aa. Taz just proves that players can bounce back from injury and still play at an elite level.

 

[Roozee]

Robbie Tarrant didn't make the AA team

But don't you get it??? If it weren't for Rance they would have lost by 100 points instead of 70!!!

Rance = God.

According to the commentators Rance is the best defender since General Custer..........FLOGS!

If Rance was playing at the Battle of Little Big Horn the cowboys would only have lost by 13 arrows.

Yes but if Rance hadn't been playing, Buddy would have kicked a bajillion.

I spoke to an assistant coach at another club, who said their plan with Rance is to stand off when he takes a mark, and force him to make a disposal decision.

I'm not sure why you're all directing your anger at Rance. He clearly had a better year than Talia and McGovern and would've been one of the first players picked from any position. Disappointing for Robbie but it wasn't Rance that stole his spot. You mention his round 23 effort against Sydney, but Talia's round 23 effort in a game that had a huge amount riding on it was even worse. Buddy in round 23 and Tom Lynch are about the only games where he was beaten by his opponent.

 

[Kciza]

Chill out guys. All Australian is a joke. They picked 8 inside mids, no ruck/forward and Matthew Boyd. Nobody should take this thing seriously. It's like the Brownlow, all prestige no actual substance/meaning.

It's not at Rance so much as at the media lovefest that makes them exclaim in wonder at everything Rance does every week - Rioli-style - so they have got lazy and don't judge him by bye same standards as everyone else over the season. "Rance is AA fullback" just gets filed away as an unarguable case. And this year it was worth an argument. Taz was also better this year, across the whole season, than Talia.

Because Tarrant was better than their best backman who is Rance which is what makes it a joke.
