Cam Rayner

[Meteoric Rise]

After all the rd 20 figures are in, here is where Rayner stands...

He has the 81st highest average performance of any player to play 10 or more games in 2024. That is now firmly inside the top 5 in an average AFL team. He has risen steadily from in the mid 200's about 2 months ago to 81st now so that is some run.

Rayner is the 6th highest rated player in Brisbane's team in 2024. danster168 may have noticed that Brisbane is currently sitting second on the Toyota AFL Premiership ladder 4 weeks out from the regular season ending.

Rayner is the 5th highest rated general forward(excludes only key forwards)in the AFL in 2024.

And he is the 7th highest rated specialist AFL forward in 2024.

He is now the 10th highest rated 25yo(players turning 25 any time in 2024, the natural draft year 2017) in 2024. And the 11th highest rated player from the 2017 draft including mature age draftees in that renewal of the NAB AFL Draft.

Rayner is the 3rd highest rated player who is not a ruck or midfielder from the 2017 draft.

If Rayner plays 4 more matches like the last 4 to finish the season, he will rise up all those parameters a bit further yet and start to look like a player well worthy of a very high draft pick. It must be remembered some of Rayner's most damaging pack crashing work wouldn't even be credited statistically.

Jokes aside, pleased to see such a talented player playing so well. It will be good to watch him in finals, he played one terrific final last year, but the Lions will be wanting him to go to another level this year.

I’m really worried someone should seriously check on Flogster

 

[Meteoric Rise]

danster168 just check in with us here Dan. We won't say I told you so about Rayner, or talk about Barely Avfritsch, we promise. We can just talk about general stuff. Well, just talk, whatever you want to talk about, it is fine, just let us know you are still there.

danster168 just check in with us here Dan. We won't say I told you so about Rayner, or take about Barely Avfritsch, we promise. We can just talk about general stuff. Well, just talk, whatever you want to talk about, it is fine, just let us know you are still there.

Plot twist - Dan is Cam.

If you think about it, it makes sense. I needn't explain why.

Broadsword calling Danny boy...it is cold here without you Danny boy. Over.

Guys it ain’t kicking 6 in a GF
The only way to judge a player remember!

 

[Elixuh]

Danny’s just been busy preparing his next wave of arguments. Let him cook.

Danny we miss you.

 

[MisterMarcus]

I thought he’d for sure slip in a “bulk post at 3AM and do a runner before anyone wakes up” special…

I was worried about Danny so I checked his activity and he was on yesterday for quite a few hours. Odd that he didnt drop into one of his main threads. But I did notice he seems to have moved onto his next target - randomly trolling North threads about how Wardlaw is no good. So look forward to him starting that thread

 

[CarterS]

He will wait until Rayner has a bad game before he comes back here so he can say I told you so.

Medal, but X-factor teammate Cam Rayner finished the game as the highest-rated Brisbane player on the ground. For a player who has struggled for consistency throughout his topsy-turvy career, the No. 1 draft pick has started to hit his straps, and picked up 25 disposals, six marks, and two goals against the Suns. It's the first time in Rayner's career he has been a multiple goal kicker for five consecutive weeks.

He will wait until Rayner has a bad game before he comes back here so he can say I told you so.

I just hope he showed up to his year 9 statistics class today. I've been keeping an eye on the Victoria Police socials. No amber alerts yet, thankfully.

The man is a master of his craft.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

It would be nice to think danster168 is out there somewhere looking for one last Rayner loophole, one remaining weakness that makes Rayner worth less than a top 35 draft pick.

 

[Elixuh]

My life without Danny. Please come back Danny.

More coaches votes streaming in. 4th best on, good for 3 more votes.

If he keeps this up Dan might have to move him up to Charlie Spargo

Thing is….i don’t think he IS a troll.

Nobody would make that much effort to pump out 1000 posts over multiple years if they were just trolling.

More coaches votes. I wish Danny were alive to see this

If there is anyone here with a penchant for statistics, I’d be interested in finding out the number of times media articles have described Charlie Spargo or Harry Petty as “instrumental” or “white-hot”.

 

[Happy_Neale]

danster168 has been saying for months he despises Lions supporters only dropping into the thread when CR16 plays well, so surely he isn’t going to only drop in when he plays poorly! That would be massively hypocritical and I know he is better than that

Especially when we are just 17 posts shy of Danster’s 1000th post extravaganza.

The shrimp cocktails are starting to whiff.

To his credit he showed up for the last 8 weeks while Rayner was playing well.
