Henderson vs Rance

[The Edukator]

Lachie Henderson (Carlton) vs Alex Rance (Richmond)


2 great young defenders with plenty of improvement yet to come.

Here are stats for them in 2012 although as per usual i dont think stats always tell the whole story. i really like both these players.

Rance obviosuly gathers a bit more of the ball yet i think Henderson has a much more mature head and panics less and has an ability to go forward. Tough call

Definitely biased, but I say Rance. He is holding the no. 1 spot and taking the best key forward each week, while Henderson has Jamison on the no. 1 and he takes the second key forward.

Would not be dissapointed with Henderson at all though.

Rance as well as being great defensively can really hurt you on the rebound so him.

Lol at the 7-1 votes so far, with the 1 being the OP.


The thing that's impressed me with Rance this year is that most of the few goals he has conceeded have come in the first quarter. Mitch Clarke and Ryder both had a few goals kicked on him in the first quarter but he adapted well and managed to keep them fairly quiet for the rest of the game.

Love the way Lachie is going but Rance by a fair margin.

 

[Palmer Stoat]

Rance often strikes me as 'footy dumb', but I admire his attack on the contest and the fact that he never gives up.

Rance for me.

henderson is progressing well but ive never seen a full back get caught with ball so many times. he seem to keep with his opponent well but is so slow on transition with the ball and can be too slow from hand to foot.

Henderson has been taking the no. 1 forward this year. Jamison has had next to no pre-season due to injury (again) and is far from his best.

Bias of course, but I'd take Hendo. Rance is better rebounding, but I like Hendo in one-on-one's and reckon he's a better mark. He also has the better capacity to go forward.

Rance is stronger 1 on 1 then he is rebounding...

That's cool. I'm not comparing Rance to Rance. I just reckon Hendo is better 1 on 1 and not as good rebounding.
