[Milanista28]

Yep. Hard to judge his year, he mostly played as the second tall. He was okay 1-on-1 but got exposed on the lead a bit.

Was talk about his fitness levels in pre season needed a big jump so hopefully he works on that over the summer, he's a great size.

 

[owen87]

Between Hurley, Hooker & Rance, our young KPD's have had ample opportunity to be exposed to elite tall defenders to learn from.

 

[citizen-erased]

I am hoping we go back to francis in defence with this appointment
I can see him dominating in that role

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

His mob will do anything to sell those bibles

 

[JT_the_Man]

Zach Reid likes this.

Cody Brand also likes this.

 

[84859300]

Wait - we have appointed a defender as a defending coach!

Well blow me down...

 

[bomberlegend2007]

It’s actually really surprising how quick Richmond supporters have turned on Rance. Sure, we have s**t on him for years, mostly out of jealousy, but seeing some of the comments on the Richmond board is just staggering.

 

[bennyg12]

May be tempted to pull the boots back on

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

With team selection this season, now coming out and saying we’re going to focus on the draft, the improvement in so many players this season and now this appointment ….we seem to operating at a higher and smarter level these days.

Tapping into a vibe: Essendon's environment entices new coach

New assistant coach Dale Tapping details his motivation to join the Bombers.

[11kgm]

Wonder who our last piece of the puzzle will be

 

[Desync]

New hunk to rival Langers and Shiel.

Shiel?????

 

[Call Me Cake]

Zach Reid right now

 

[Chat Pile]

Look after our boy Rancey, Bombers. Great get. I imagine he will turn out to be very beneficial to the growth of your young defenders. Very jealous Just treat him well.

 

[Scottie65]

Love this and I’m also stoked that and if we bring Francis back defending ... hoping ranch can a enhance his true ability ... could be one of the moves of the season

 

[Cold Sober]

Rance would be handy on a HBF.

 

[dean33]

It’s actually really surprising how quick Richmond supporters have turned on Rance. Sure, we have sh*t on him for years, mostly out of jealousy, but seeing some of the comments on the Richmond board is just staggering.

Any Richmond supporter who turns on the great Alex rance isn’t really a Richmond supporter. One of our greatest ever players who will forever hold a special place in all tiger fans hearts. Fantastic get for the bombers
Go well Tross!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Someone a page or 2 back called him a "handsome weirdo."

That sums him up to a tee.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

And dean33, if you give the Tross a children's microphone, you know funny s**t's gonna happen.

ROAR VISION!

[Dave]

Saucy!

 

[Westlo]

2023 though

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Masterfoods?
Hidden Valley?

What sort?

 

[ghostdog]

Love this and I’m also stoked that and if we bring Francis back defending ... hoping ranch can a enhance his true ability ... could be one of the moves of the season

Won't achieve that by giving him a dressing down.
