I think it's time for this kid to have a crack at senior level, poor kid has been one of the best performed Vfl players for a few years now. He is an elite kick as well for a big man, give him a go for **** sake and let's see what he can do in the seniors. I think he's the perfict size for the third key back and has more skill than all the current players combined with the ball in hand.

The guy in his position just played his best game in 2 years.

Yep, had no queries over his defensive game but was absolutely awful offensively until yesterday. Needs to do it consistently now.

I agree. Would have thought he'd done enough to get a look in. After 3 years, we need to see whether he can handle the step up. Too many blokes have looked like superstars at VFL level but duds at AFL level while others manage to replicate their output in the step up. We need to see which one it is. Suspect he wont get a crack though and will probably end up somewhere else next year or on the scrapheap. If we decide to upgrade him for next season, does anyone know if we are obliged to give him a 2 year contract like a draftee?

 

[RichoLedio]

I don't see the point in holding onto him all this time if we won't at least give him a go

 

[Stylo]

Surely he'll be upgraded with Miles at the end of the year. He's earnt it.

How tall is he these days?

190 isn't he?

 

[Stylo]

190 isn't he?

I dunno is he?

 

[tigs2010]

I dunno is he?

I think so. Can you confirm?

 

[Stylo]

I think so. Can you confirm?

I'm gonna say.... maybe

 

[tigs2010]

I'm gonna say.... maybe

So we can confirm he's maybe 190cm? Done.

these guessing folks are right, 190 cm. oh and he's 97kg too

I have heard that he has grown a bit since he was drafted. At that time he was listed as 190cm but I hear 192/3 cm, but I don't know what the official word is RFC_Official may be able to shead some light on the issue (grab ur tape measure & clear this up for us could you ?)

I watched this guy from the start at Coburg and said to myself wow we need to put a lot of work into this guy.
i have watched his progress closely and was still not convinced at the end of 2013
At the start of this year i couldn't believe how much he had improved his running and linking up game out of defence and i am now convinced he may belong.
Or at least worthy of a few games with the season now shot plus easier draw coming up.

He's grown taller, and bigger (whilst losing some weight), Bender is a big guy now.

What is he 192/3cm's?

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Here's one from left field. Bring Bender in and play him at full back and try Rancer at centre half forward.

While not sure if BD will play FB (Astbury), I don't mid the idea of Rance as a CHF at times.

 

[DontArgue4]

Bender!! Haha!! That's awesome. He deserves a go by all means

Do you think he will be there next year?

Wasn't Rance playing as a forward in the wallace days?

I very much like Rance as our #1 defender and he can stay there
