The Richmond great floored the room when he announced his plan to reunite with Damien Hardwick.
Comeback rumours have periodically swirled ever since Rance’s seemingly premature retirement just months after missing the 2019 Tigers premiership due to injury at the age of only 30.
He has since done nothing to silence the jungle drums after making cameo appearances for Seymour in the GVFL in country Victoria and, more significantly, for Essendon’s VFL team last season. But the 33-year-old, who is now a Queensland local, has stuck by his guns, saying he has no interest in playing at senior level.
Rance will join premiership teammate and highly regarded Geelong assistant Shaun Grigg, who has been poached out of Chris Scott’s coaching staff with a year to run on his contract to join Hardwick at the SunsAnd speculation surrounding three-time Norm Smith Medallist Dustin Martin’s future has inevitably ran rife since Hardwick’s appointment up north, with suggestions that the Brownlow Medallist may want to follow his coach of 14 years to the Suns.
Joining Rance in the Hall of Fame was North Melbourne champion Phil Krakour, two-time Sandover Medal winner Alistair Pickett and women’s trailblazer Jan Cooper, who became the first female inducted, while West Perth midfielder Mel Whinnen was elevated to legend status.If you’d like to view this content, please adjust your
