Apparently the club knew he was thinking about it.
Maybe they did know?

Confirmed by Richmond. Strange call at 30 but good luck to him.

Don’t all the Jovo’s have to spend a year or two spreading the word or something?

Isn't that the Mormons?

Bloody hell, I guess they can replace him under the new rules now at least, but they will have some nice cap space at end of 2020.

Feel a bit hollow after hearing about this earlier today. More the fact it doesn't seem right for him to be going out with just the one flag when we won two in his time at the club.

We we're a rabble when he started and he was one of the keys on and off field that started the resurgence towards the top.

If you can be the standout best player in your position for the decade across the competition then your an absolute star. That's what Rancey was, one of the best I've seen in my time at Tigerland.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

I'm not a tiger fan but I have the same sentiments, definitely made the game better and plenty of players would've learnt a lot from him, his ability to leave his opponent to make a contest elsewhere and win the ball was remarkable.

Brendan Gale ( on Alex Rance ) "He's an all in leader, he's a 150% type of player".

He's a what now?

Quality post. Better than average obviously but massively overhyped. Better than Scarlett Lethal? Please.

I kind of see where REB is coming from though. Rance is very good but comparisons to Scarlett are laughable.

Comparing him to Scarlett isn't laughable, they play the same bloody position.

Is he as good as Scarlett? No, not many are. Is he as close as anyone in recent times? Absolutely he is.

I meant what is laughable is guys like Matthews etc saying Rance is as good as Scarlett. No doubt he is next in line but the gulf is massive

Well that's all subjective, isn't it?

Where does McGovern sit?

I don't, McGovern never plays on anyone, Rance does.
