Tiger Rance cops two-match AFL ban
AAP
Richmond's Alex Rance is facing a two-match AFL ban for his crude hit on Melbourne forward Jack Watts.
Rance dropped his forearm into the back of Watts' head late in the Tigers' 33-point loss to the Demons and will miss games against Port Adelaide and Hawthorn if he accepts the AFL match review panel's finding.
Melbourne onballer Jack Viney remonstrated strongly with Rance following the incident but has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
