</p><p>A lightly-built defender who consistently held his own against many of the VFL's best forwards, Rantall was an inaugural inductee into the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Football_Hall_of_Fame"

He quickly became recognised as one of the VFL's most dependable and consistent defenders, and when South Melbourne's champion rover and captain <a href="/wiki/Bob_Skilton" title="Bob Skilton">Bob Skilton</a> tore an achilles tendon before the <a href="/wiki/1969_VFL_season" title="1969 VFL season">1969 VFL season</a>, Rantall stood in as acting captain,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> eventually taking over as official captain after Skilton retired in 1971. In 1973, he moved to <a href="/wiki/North_Melbourne_Football_Club" title="North Melbourne Football Club">North Melbourne Football Club</a> under the VFL's short-lived "10-year rule", which allowed players with ten years' service at one club to move to another club without a clearance,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with the intention of playing in a <a href="/wiki/AFL_Grand_Final" title="AFL Grand Final">premiership side</a>. He got his wish, winning in 1975; and, then, moving back to South Melbourne for 1976.
