Career
Rice started his career in 1987 at Street Kilda after being recruited from Salesian College / Longwood. Plagued by injuries, he underwent two knee reconstructions at Street Kilda. He was delisted by Street Kilda and chosen as pick 19 by Carlton in the 1994 Pre-Season Draft, injuring his knee in his first game at Carlton and again requiring a reconstruction.
Despite playing in the wing at Street Kilda he found himself being pushed up forward.
Later in his career he was used in defence and he retired in 2001.
