AFL R20: Brisbane v North Melbourne 2:10 p.m. AEST @Gabba - The North remembers!

What a massive choke by Rayner....why would you go round the corner when you're almost directly in front

Not to mention the threat of the siren going while you play on! There was less than a minute to go, could have been on the siren!

I’m sure commentators will blame senior player from not stopping him, but they didn’t even have time! He literally just took off as soon as the umpire blew time back on.

Shithouse.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Rayner lmao

 

[WCE Wizard]

Rayner had time to settle and kick the goal

 

[Kangapirate]

We tried to throw that away time and time again, feels like a loss to be honest that was garbage on our part.

 

[Struggle]

What a round this has been so far

 

[Jimmybob]

Get off Rayner you flogs. Gonna be a top 5 player in a few years to come and will win many games off his own boot for Brisbane. Can’t blame the kid for getting carried and blowing his chance

 

[Gaben]

Who was the Brisbane player that got flattened away from the contest on that last inside 50?

Christensen

 

[Headless]

Wow Rayner. wtf

Just take 30 seconds and chip it through.

He'll learn from that and hopefully wont make a mistake like that in the future. In a game that matters

This game mattered a lot.

Congrats Roos. Bad luck Lions.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Seriously Rainer, F off. That is an absolute disgrace. Don’t care age etc, that is absolutely shithouse. Deserves every boo directed at him for squibbing so hard and taking a cheap quick snap.

Colin Sylvia V.2?

 

[Deelighted]

That snap is one of the worst attempts at goal you'll see late in a game. Believe me, I've seen a few.

Yep that round the body s**t is inexcusable

 

[Randomizor]

Rayner is distraught

 

[Rod Stroker]

Rayner went from hero to zero. No idea why he went for the Hollywood kick with the game on the line.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Christensen

A slight southerly breeze could flatten that flog.

 

[Bazza97]

North's season still alive.

Looked like a massive flop when I saw it tbh

Edit: he tried blocking brown from the contest and brown just knocked him slightly and he flopped

 

[ptrg]

Just glad to see that he’s shattered, and the coach supporting him and helping him learn from it.

It’s a dead rubber game for them, so a learning experience is what’s needed there. God I love their coach

 

[noise36]

Meh. First year player lacking composure. You're not going to crucify him for it. He'll learn.

His team mates should also have got around him and said to take his time to take the clock away...game was won with a basic little kick any footy player should nail 95%

 

[Tas]

Thanks Rayner. That was as ugly as his haircut.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Wow what a round so far. 3 games decided by under a goal. Gutsy effort by Brisbane, they should be top 8 contenders next year, but glad the Roos are still in the hunt.

 

[U2tigers]

Well done Rayner the better draft pick is still there. why else would a player do that.

 

[RupieDupie]

3 close games out of 3.
Uncompromising, blood, ecstasy and tears... and that’s just from the supporters.
Get amongst it!

 

[kreglze]

Rayner will learn from that. Will be a star. 5 games they have lost by 10 points or less, turn even half of those into wins and the Lions season looks a lot better.

 

[Tulip]

Get off Rayner you flogs. Gonna be a top 5 player in a few years to come and will win many games off his own boot for Brisbane. Can’t blame the kid for getting carried and blowing his chance

It was symptomatic of a greater junior coaching issue, IMO. Not a fan of back-in-my-day rants, but 15 years ago going the checkside because a player couldn't trust themselves from within 25 metres was unheard of.

 

[Percel]

North are cooked. Bottom 4 team without Higgins

This way comrade ===>>>>>
