Aldi Tom SparrowI am going to give you a bit of a mulligan here Danster, because I think you genuinely can't tell the difference in value between a guy disposing of the ball after crashing through traffic in a straight line to his own goal, and all other types of disposals. Study Nic Natainui and get back to us, we'll give you a second chance to understand this concept.
haha, and as consistent as Gary RohanAre you watching the bombers pregame on fox, danster168 ? The panel are discussing last nights game and Melbourne great Gary Lyons just said Rayner was as good as he has ever seen Petracca in a game
But you're missing the point. You realise he played well this time last year? What's the difference. I've never questioned that he can't play well once or twice a year. Hell every player in the afl can. Rayner needs to perform well once a month first, instead of 2-3 times a year and being useless in the other games. He has a long way to make up for his bad games because he is just so inconsistent. Well consistently poor with the odd good game.Log in to remove this Banner Ad

huh? why are you judging Rayner based off his career game and not on his usual output? So last week he wasn't impactful but this week he is now impactful? That makes no sense. Rayner has been fringe his whole career. I was promised a breakout last year, it never came. Other than being sub worthy in the prelim and grand final what has he done in his career other than being a once every 10 week flash in the pan?
Lol Elixuh, you know I'm ahead of the curve. I got all of these overreactions last year after the Collingwood game. Everyone came at me. I held firm. I knew he'd be the spud I know he is and he answered my call and continued being poor for the rest of the season, meanwhile Rayner fans went quiet. No-one has managed to tell me why this season is any different.
Rayner 2023 vs Rayner 2024
You asked why his possessions are impactful. We know he is a low possession player - nobody would disagree with that. But generally speaking he gets involved in scoring chains and can be very damaging in the middle. He is also becoming more consistent with career highs in disposals and tackles this year so far…so he is working harder both ways as well
he's getting more disposals because he's playing more midfield time that's all.
And? That’s a good thing
17 touches a game isn't good.
Career high and above what you had him at for the year so far
Can't criticise my predictions when you weren't game enough to put in a prediction yourself. Shame. also, I didn't predict he'd get mid time. Whether it's a career high or not it's irrelevant, as it's still poor regardless.
Watch me
it was pretty clear why no rayner fans wanted to predict his 2024. I took note of it.
You’ve backtracked on your predictions ever since. First it was too early to bring them up, then it was about his predicted goals, now it’s that you didn’t know what his role was going to be…I’m beginning to think you might not be posting in good faith
Not anymore baby - he’s blown that out to 25, which he has achieved twice.
