Thank your for the snort of laughter that alerted the office to the fact I'm not working.

I'm 27 and exercise a few times a week but nothing serious and love a can or 4 on the weekend. I did a beep test at the local gym a few months ago and got 11.4. Seriously Rayners tank is rubbish. That sends off alarm bells for me. No doubt he is talent and has ! Factor but we need 100 minute athletes who can run out games. Cerra is the one for me.
 
Yeah massive red flag with Rayner if he can't get himself fit to the level of a casual BigFooty poster then how will he survive in AFL which is one of the hardest running sports in the world?

I was sold on him until I heard that, now I am really warming towards LDU, team him with Cripps and we would have a potentially beastly inside duo. The outside midfielders would be a bit easier to discover I think.
 
Sorry..Thats the question with Rayner.
Will be a gun forward. Is a natural.
But can he play fulltime mid at AFL level.
Not for a little while at best.
So do we want a guy who is going to play 80%mid. Or do we go for Raynor who esp first few yrs will probably play 30%mid..but his forward play will be special.
As a forward this kids gunna be special.
Will go in mid occassionally and do well but if anyone is hoping for a fullyime mid this kid aint it..not for a while anyway
 
He doesnt need a mids tank. We can play him like bont 50/50 as an impact plauer
It's not the fact that he won't be able to run through the midfield, modern forwards need to be able to defend and chase back too. Look at Menzel, nearly 40 goals this year yet dropped because he doesn't apply enough pressure.

Unfortunately they no longer do the beep test at the combine. Will be interested to see his 3km however
The modified yoyo test they'll be doing will work him over well enough if he doesn't have the tank for repeat efforts, and the 2 km they now run will see if he has the basic capacity to cover some territory.

LDU, Dow & at a reach Stephenson.
 
I'm pretty confident that if you're remotely able bodied, you could do more than that.

That's about 320 metres over 134 seconds, which is barely above walking pace.

Has anyone warned Jimmae that you're not supposed to let facts get in the way of a good story?
