I am hoping we take Rayner in the draft. I think he is the sort of player who will bring a real element of excitement to the club and we have to back in our ability to retain him beyond his initial contract.

Couldn't agree with this more. From what I've seen, he'd be my first pick. Wouldn't be jumping at past ghosts when it comes to retention.

Rayner and Stephenson are the only two with the X factor. I'd take Rayner first because he can play multiple roles. Don't really care if he poses a greater flight risk. Schache was considered a safe choice.
 
If we lose Schache I would consider Himmelberg as a replacement, I think he would compliment Hippy well.
 
Stephenson for me.

Based of course on a comprehensive study of his career to date:-

The usual grab-bag of You Tube highlights.:drunk:
Luke Davies-Uniacke.
I'm actually in the trade 1 for St Kilda's 7+8. Think it is actually quite even across the first 10 or so players. Coffield, Brayshaw and Clarke around that area and eventhough he had a shocker of a year D.Fogarty. Would also trade up in the top 10 with our 12 and 18 for maybe Pies 6 and 36 or even Dogs 9 and 24.

Edit: I would also really like to see Worpol on our list next year......somehow

I know the Crows were going after him fairly hard a while ago. Didn't realised he re-signed. Looks very promising.
Pretty sure we made inquiries as well. But all in vein. Another who can swing forward and back on smalls and talls, athletic. Would have been a great get.

So what you're actually saying is he is on the market?

Brisbane believe he is gettable despite extending his contract with GWS only weeks ago. Reports have emerged that Brisbane and GWS may have already had informal discussions about what a trade for Himmelberg might look like......
;)

Whos worth more? Schache Or Himmelberg.
 
Thought I'd post some TAC Cup averages for my top 3.

Stephenson: Averaging 22.7 disposals, 4.6 marks, 10.3 contested possessions(11.3 uncontested), 5 tackles, 3 clearances, 4.5 I50's and 0.9 goals per game.

Dow: Averaging 26.3 disposals, 4.3 marks, 13.3 contested possessions(13 uncontested), 3.3 tackles, 5.3 clearances, 6 I50's and 0.7 goals per game.

Rayner: Averaging 20.6 disposals, 3.3 marks, 12 contested possessions(8.5 uncontested), 4.4 tackles, 4 clearances, 4.5 I50's and 1.4 goals per game.

Cheers. I'm certainly going to stay on the dow, Stephenson and LDU train reading those numbers
