Universal Love Alex Rance!!!

[TheProwler]

lol,,,should be skipper in my books. Best RFC player we have seen in a long while

Yeah tend to agree, he and Jack seem to be more on the ground follow me type leaders than Cotch from my view. Maybe Cotch is inspirational within the four walls. He is silk on the field when he is allowed to play his game but gets tagged and has to expend all his energy in competing to get near the pill which is sad.

I understood we had to convince Rance to stay rather than doing his sabbatical or whatever he wanted to do, must be thinking now if that was the right choice or not.

 

[theflea]

Feel for Rance, he must be thinking that fixing up that orphanage in Laos now would be sweet.

No actually imo he is thinking how to make us better.

 

[Tigz_09]

I don't know how this club can allow Rance to be the only one who puts in the sort of effort he does.
The only one IMO that gives all every week and literally puts himself on the line during a game.
Riewoldt is second but not exactly close to Rance.

I used to hate him having the ball in his hands with his disposal by foot being really poor. I can't believe how far he's come and how much effort he puts in to be the best he can. If he's not captain of the club real soon there's something wrong.
Champion in my eyes,

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Emac is still the GOAT though.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Mathew Flog Lloyd on the Sunday footy show had Rance in the BP in his AA side.What an anchor.

If that is your phone you need to charge it.

We're okay now.

We're okay now.

Much better! You should take up that offer to work from home

And I'd make EMac my first employee..

 

[Nostradumbass]

Can't remember who eMac is, did the coke fans claim he was better than Alexander the Great?

Nah he wasn't that good. Give them some credit. But he is the Picasso of his craft.

Problem is you can never debate this subject without upsetting plenty of the Tiger faithful.
But simple fact is Cotchin is not a great, or even good captain ... and that's fine.
Rance or Riewoldt should be our leadership.
And it's nothing to do with Cotchin having a few quiet finals and occasionally being tagged out of the contest, he's just not a great leader or motivator.
As I say, that's fine - Gary Ablett Jr is arguably the best player to have played te game, but like Coitch, he ain't a great leader or captain either - if anything he's a poorer captain.
But most Richmond people take debate about Cotchin's captaincy as a direct attack on his playing ability. It's not.
Played footy at various senior levels for 14 years and played alongside some great players. Not all of them were captaincy material, while not every captain I played under was the best player (including the one year I was fortunate enough to be skipper, leading better players than I).
I think Cotchin's elevation to the top job was much like a lot of our decision making - opportunistic.
Look at the timing - straight after finishing second in the Brownlow. It was a good news story that our spin department love (just as they though the spin of re-signing Hardwick in the season before kick-of would generate positivity in the media and among the faithful who rarely question the club and its direction).
But Cotchin should be left alone to play football and I reckon lifting the burden on him would see him play better football.

 

[Goldust]

IIRC Hawks rated him highly also and we're hoping he would fall to them in the second round - they took Cyril with their first pick so they did ok anyway but imagine what they would look like had Rance fallen to them

He'd probably be an All-Australian forward!

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Bloke gives his all every single match. I'd be furious if I gave as much hard work as he does only to see the ball fly in so easily, so often.

 

[Mr Magic]

I think we should give Rance the year off he was looking for to do his travel and reflect, do his studies in 2017.

 

[Nostradumbass]

not in the top 5 defenders according to a crows w***er on the main board.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Remember when wce fans were saying McKenzie was better than Rance?

RANCE and Astbury for E Mac.

 

[French Tiger]

I have been watching the tiges for 35 years ! He equal with Richo is the best player I have seen play for us

 

[mcuzzy]

Not the best effort.

Looks silky and still looks pretty good in any conditions though

Probably just needs to neaten up some rough patches around the back and down the sides.

8/10 hairstyle at best.

I agree with this. He's the greatest in my lifetime.

 

[Drofder]

Outstanding game tonight. Calling him The Hoover from now on. Cleans up everything that comes his way.
