The same article said Rayner had impressed

Even after finishing last in time trial?

Fluff.

Somebody had to "impress" for "reasons". You won't find the "all their draft picks are s**t, looks like they really ****ed it all up this time" article.

1st post 3rd page m8.

I just read it to mean = of the new non-project-tall draftees, he is the only one to get through most of the preseason so far.

Pffffft last I checked Enth was hardly his biggest fan. Plenty of others have spoken about Guelfi

 

[SherbertLemon]

Look I just think he's overrated.

A lot of people liked the Hangover, but he hasn't done much since then.

Why me? I have Harts. If I'm claiming anyone else it would be Saad as ex Coburg lads.

They are all my boys regardless

Not sure how participating in a match simulation equates to 'paying dividends'.

Lets be kind and assume that it was a reference to picking up a mature age recruit who was always likely to get up to speed physically quicker than the rookies.

Kid did very well in the match sim today apparently. Opportunity isn’t lost on this one...

I expect him to smash it in the preseason games and be border line selection for round 1.

Bold prediction - the kid will play 5+ games this year & show us he is worthy...

Sounds like he just needed an opertunity in the big time and has taken it with both hands.

Hopefully this is the case.

Well that took a hard left turn.

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Stronger and harder at the ball that some of the more fancied higher draft picks. With hard work and a bit of luck this kid will shock a few of the more fancied higher draftees....

Best of our 2017 draftees imo. Will impact early.

Please play him across all of the preseason

To be fair, what highly valued draft picks do you speak of?

 

[Jackmorrow]

mentioned in the draftee article on the AFL website and is the only draftee named in the intraclub article on the essendon website. Not sure if the clubs a bit of a wrap on him or if I’m reading too much into it

those articles are pox

there are zero bad news items

player a is either flying, or developing/settling in well

all positive spin.

I'm guessing he's referring to draftees at other clubs?

 

[boncer34]

Probably the Zerk.

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Played pretty well today, didn't look out of depth and very effective with ball in hand.
Surprise that he isn't getting the love on here he deserves.
Wait until he puts on some more weight and he will become a good rover. One to watch for the future.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

What number was he in the intraclub?

What number was he in the intraclub?

35 for Green

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Gets a spot on the AFLX team. Only first year player in that group in with the young stars & other experienced guys.

Throw your heart at it Elfi!

Could this guy become our Zaharakis replacement one day?
