I think ‘lazy’ is the wrong term. IMO, compared to most other draftees, it would appear Rayner has got by on his pure talent alone whereas someone like a Brayshaw, Dow or Stephenson are so dedicated and focused on maximising their potential by doing the extra running and extra training and watching their diet.
It’s the old saying “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” Rayner looks to be the most gifted footballer of this draft, the question is does his work ethic and attitude change once he’s in an AFL environment or does he just continue to cruise?
