Alex Rance (born 9 October 1989) is a professional Australian rules footballer, currently playing with the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Rance is the son of isis and he dropped nukes on people and blew up houses buyed a tank and it fires nukes and he blew up siberia with it former Footscray and West Coast player Murray Rance, he is also a Jehovah's Witness.[1]He attended Guildford Grammar School in Perth, Western Australia.
AFL career
Rance was drafted with the 18th pick in the 2007 National Draft. He made his AFL debut in 2009 but was involved in a head clash with Brisbane Lions player Troy Selwood in round seven, suffering three small cheekbone fractures.[2]
He built form after a slow start in 2013 and produced the best of his six seasons, playing every game and pushing for the All Australian Team. Ranked ninth in the AFL for overall marks, he was third at Richmond for contested grabs and top 10 for kicks and handballs. Playing on and often beating the League’s best tall forwards, Rance also offered good rebound from the back half. Courageous and vital to the Tigers’ climb up the ladder.[3]
In the early parts of the 2015 season, Rance was strongly linked to free agency move to other AFL clubs, specifically Fremantle and Brisbane Lions. Rance's playing future was under speculation with reports emerging that he was considering retiring,[4] however, in June, he ended the speculation by signing a four year contract extension that will keep him at Richmond until at least the end of the 2019 season, on a reported $750,000 a season.[5] His season was rewarded with the Jack Dyer Medal as the club's best and fairest player.[6] In 2016 he voted into the leadership group.
