Oh cmon now. I'm no Richmond lover but Rance was one of the most solid defenders of all time, comparing him to Moore is an insult.Darcy Moore is Rance 2.0.
Not a man on man defender. Barass and Weitering is better than Moore. But don’t let the vic media know
There was a game in 2017 where Richmond played Sydney and Richmond were in the lead all game and completely gave up in the middle in the last, and Rance was a one man defending machine that game. Even with a barrage of inside 50s he kept buddy to 1.1, never seen a bloke so desperate to win every 1:1 contest. They lost by just over a goal, but without Rance they would have lost by 40.
He was constantly at or near the top of the defensive one on ones stats every year he played.
