Cam Rayner

[Milux]

Big game for Cam this week. Has trained really well the last fortnight and think he'll be absolutely primed fitness wise. It's his game for the taking.

Couldn't agree more. Really hope he can prove doubters wrong.

I agree and support my avatar brothers

Disappointing that Cam hasn't won a grand final sprint yet. Delist.

 

[BRAB]

Big body in the middle today but I’ll definitely be waiting for Danster’s review

 

[Captain_Bender]

Would be the straight set Demon's best forward

Spargo lol

Hope you are ok mate. You can now see as clear as day the difference between having a bloke busting packs open v kick it to me uncontested specialists Bayley Avfritsch and Charles Spargo.

Fritsch + Spargo: 8 contested possessions 5 turnovers 4 score involvements.

Rayner: 7 contested 0 turnovers 4 score involvements.


Bad luck about your pick 4 and pick 18 Dan, you now need to build a new forward line around some players who can actually win contests.

Not the best night for us tonight. Rayner did nothing though. Fritsch still hit the scoreboard. Something we couldn't do all night. The story will always be on Melbournes loss because it was to Brisbane.

Melbourne are now our bunnies.

Match winning spoil, recognised also by Fagan in his press conference.

Dont forget the loss was
1) At home
2) Heavily favourites
3) Beaten Lions easily the last few times
4) Lions couldnt win at the MCG for YEARS

Easy game for Melb.

Jokes aside you need a new forward set up and could use someone exactly like Rayner to win some big contests there and smash some packs apart. You probably don’t get that though.

Nah. Playing Brisbane at the G is never an easy matchup.

How does Charles Spargoalless get a game? 10 goals in 24 games playing permanent forward all season. That is almost impossible to achieve.

lol Rayner, no thanks. I wouldn't have him. We need a key forward to replace Ben Brown. And a new game plan. We don't need another forward who can't kick straight in front of goals. Did you see Rayners ball drop tonight from 20m out. Stuff of Nightmares.

he applies defensive pressure, something Rayner can't do.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Fox just dedicated a bit of discussion to how crucial Cam Rayner was in the final result.

His desperate fist to stop what looked like a Melbourne procession to goal. Then his brilliant knock on to Hipwood.

Gun.

 

[JasRulz63]

he applies defensive pressure, something Rayner can't do.

Spargo - 1 tackle, 8 pressure acts
Rayner - 5 tackles, 12 pressure acts

Probably good for Melbourne that Spargo didn't get more tackles, ironically seems to find it difficult to not tackle players high.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Boy did you pick the wrong game to say that. He had one of the most brilliant clutch defensive moments of the year when it was all on the line.

God you suck.

Probably easier just to say you have no idea at this point.

Are you Simon Goodwin? He keeps playing a forward line full of players who cannot win contests. Spargo average 3.2 contested possessions. Fritsch 4.2 contested possessions. Brown 4.8 contested possessions. Pickett 4.6 contested possessions. Melksham 3.7 contested possessions. Neal-Bullen averaging 6 contested possessions your leader. Too many forwards just not winning enough contests.

Seriously my team has just lost straight sets in the final. Have some class. Last thing I want to do is enter a conversation about a fringe Brisbane player that did nothing in the game. Happy to talk about him if he contributed. He was supposed to be the next Petracca and Petracca played twice the game on a broken leg.

You have contributed a stupid amount of posts to this thread with little to no logic in many of them. If you're going to do that, expect to have a few posts quoted down the track.

Also - he aint fringe mate.

Petracca is probably the best player in the sport at the peak of his powers dumpster168. You had Rayner rated way below Charlie Spargoalless in the 2017 draft. That looks incredibly wrong now. Not just below him, 12 places below him. You need to apologise to Rayner’s family for insulting them and apologise to Spargo’s family for misleading them into thinking he was a star.
