He'll be talked about for many years to come. He's the best key defender I've seen play for us. Sorry Gaspar and the Kellaway brothers.

He's our best player right now I reckon, Dusty doing his best to stay close.

Not the best in my lifetime though. He only really hit that elite status towards the end of 2014, loose cannon before that and the inconsistency would have my hands sweating every week. I'll admit it can't have been easy being shifted around the ground so much and key defenders often take a year or two longr to start really digging the heels in. Now all he needs to do is keep it going so he can be up there with players who were good pretty much every season.

I won't go into past players, but if I was ranking players I've seen in my life I'd still have him behind Cotchin, Deledio and Riewoldt.
Very valid points . Love Richo lids knighter ottens campbell cotch jack .... I don't think any of those players put together 50-60 games at this level of consistency . He just shows up regardless of any other factor . These 3 seasons of rance are the best I have seen from a tiger . By a fair way .

Just saw Rance is listed at 194cm/96kg. Is that accurate? How does he consistently destroy players that are so much taller and stronger then him.
What a gun.

You already know the answer I'm guessing.

Speed, agility, determination and ability to read the flight of the ball.

He's also a fair unit which helps.

Rance will go down in the top 3 FB of all time when his career is finished, possibly the best. He is that good. One of my, possibly my, fav RFC player of the last 30 years.

Here's hoping.

He's only 26 but there's a lot of catching up to do in order to surpass players of recent decades like Scarlett, Glass and Silvagni.

Top 3 is a pretty good prediction.
 
If the Brownlow medal was awarded fairly (i.e not biased towards midfielders) then Rance would surely win by quite a lot of votes. He is the competition's best, most consistent and most valuable player. I am so proud to have him at Tigerland!!!
 
I think Rance is clearly the best defender going around at the moment.
Its not just that he is fantastic one on one, its that he combines that with quick hands, good vision, smarts and great kicking.
He is worth at least two decent back men. Enjoy watching him tigers fans, players like that don't come around very often.

His ability to attack a contest that a mere mortal has a 10% of winning and consistently demolish his opponent in it is incredible.

In the last couple of weeks it appears his greatness has brushed off on Grimes, who I haven't ever seen attack the footy and take the game on like he has.
