Alex Rance and Dustin Martin are both out of contract. Rance differs to Martin in that he is a Western Australian. There is a precedent in the family for his going back home. His father, Murray, played with Footscray but left to be an inaugural West Coast player and captained them in 1989. I believe Alex Rance will return to the West to play for the side his father captained in 2016. He was a great fan of Darren Glass and Glass' retirement leaves a huge gap in the west coast defence. Rance and McKenzie would be a lethal pairing and constitute the best KPP defence in the AFL. I don't think Richmond have a hope of stopping this one.
Dustin Martin has also put his contract on hold which tells me he is weighing up his options. If Richmond are not true contenders this year I think Dusty will look for a side that is a contender. He wants desperately to play in a premiership apparently. Some may say all players reach for this almost unattainable goal but that isn't really true. Many players are just happy to be getting games let alone winning a premiership. They are realistic enough to know only the few ever reach that height. But not so Dusty apparently. He wants desperately to win a premiership before retiring.
