Agree. Those defenders stood their ground against bulls of forwards, Rance is average one on one and gets taken out of a contest far too easily. I refer to muscle like his as ‘pretty muscle’ because it’s all for show. 

I'm not used to reading serious posts from you. I kept waiting for a chuckle in there. At least throw in a pun somewhere...  so we know it's you.

Favourite Alex Rance moment

I understand this has nothing to do with Demons but it is to do with the health of the game. Rance performed one of his most blatantly absurd and bulldusty dives on the weekend, was rewarded with

Rance's punching of the back of Jack Watt's head whilst Jack was laying face down on the ground tells us everything we need to know about Alex Rance's character. Great player sure, but plenty of perso

Instead of the flopper, maybe he should be called “the squirrel “, as in squirrel gripper...

For a bit of balance... Yes Rance is a diver and is overrated...

What I can't stand though is how Tigers supporters have him past SOS and Scarlett as the best KP defenders. He's not even close to either.

Agree. Add a couple of the great fullbacks from the 70’s ie Dench and Souhby. They played on gun full forwards every second week, Hudson, McKenna, Wade, Jesaulenko, etc

Kelvin Moore, Rod Carter, Dustin Fletcher .... the idea that Rance is anywhere near the "best fullback ever" is completely laughable.

i'm not even sure if the term full-back has any meaning these days given zone defence, intercept players, sweepers and pressing both ways.

rance could be described as a chb as much as a fb depending on the opposition and matchups

It's covered 'mnocla'.  nothing to see here... see no evil, speak no evil.

 

How do you know the kid doesn't like it?  nothing to see here, and nothing to speak of.   scouts honor.   ?

 

play de devil's advocate.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
