Richmond Tiger Alex Rance has thrown his support behind vilified Crow Eddie Betts, saying Betts personifies everything that is great about AFL.
“I’ve been reflecting a bit about the weekend’s incident with Eddie Betts,” Rance says in a video message posted on Instagram. “I still am so astounded and shocked that this still happens in society…”
“It’s so backward and unacceptable… why aren’t we focussing on the love, respect and excitement and celebration that the game provides? Eddie Betts of all players is someone who you can always say brings that excitement and passion to our game.
“It’s so frustrating that at this point it’s still happening in our society. I don’t think the players can have a strong enough stance on this.”
