    Re: Operation: Get Alex Rance

    It always seems a players stocks go up a bit when their contract is up.
    The very fact someone is able to walk makes it seem they are just a little bit more valuable than they are.
    But I wouldn't swap a glove in his prime for a rance.

    "He has other things in his life that he values and he's weighing those things up," said Gale. "This [the transparency] is a good thing, we can work around these issues."

    You would have to question why he would fully commit himself to us.

      with the emergence of Roberts, Hamling and Talia, we may not need to target a key back.
      Roughead moving into the ruck is a major piece of the puzzle falling into place in my opinion.

      The other thing we need now is some real silk, pace and class in the midfield to round it out.
      Basically a Cooney/ Griffen type. A big goal kicking FAST midfielder.
      I'd be keeping my powder dry and wait to see how the season unfolds for our emerging tall defenders.

      Wouldn't you love to somehow get Jack Martin to the Kennel??? Or Harley Bennell?

        A no on Rance for me, at this stage he has other priorities in his life rather than football and I really cant see him giving anyone other than Richmond full commitment.
        Tarrant seems to be to injury prone and not Carlisle (or for that matter any Essendon players) unless the whole supplement saga has finally been put to bed.
        I would be very happy if we managed to coax Talia over to us to play with his brother.
        It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

            On SEN they are saying he knocked back 5 with Brisbane.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              Even if it is the Tiges, if we can't get a player my second preference is they stay with their club. Good get, the guy's a gun.

                          I'm pleased that Rance has re-signed with Richmond. I admire one club players and I think Richmond might finally be getting closer to some real success. With some sensible trading and astute drafting they should finally have a list with the depth to carry them through an entire season and deep into the finals.

                          He will be rewarded with some on field success over the next four years I reckon.

                            I didn't think he'd end up at another club. I always had the sense he'd either play at Richmond or simply not play.

                              Yep. No need to alert lazy media trawlers with a thread just yet.
