& Banana Fritta.

Where’s Dan when you need him!

 

[SSwans2011]

Rayner's a quality player that played maybe the worst game of his career on the weekend.

He's the kind of player that could lead Brisbane to a Grand Final if he fires this week.

Hate to toot my own horn, but well...


What a star!

I'm bumping these two posts just to let you all know that I might not, in fact, hate tooting my own horn

Hold on a minute. Let's not go making such comparisons until we get the 2025 update of Dan's 2017 draft rankings.

 

[Headless]

Not a hope in hell. Norm Smiths go to midfielders who get 30 or forwards who kick 4 or more. That’s not hom

Good chance of 30 & 4 IMO.

Go to the game thread. He made some very poor calls. The gift that keeps on giving

Danster goes hiding when Lions or Cam are going well. If they are not going well he comes in like an authority on the game. He didn’t rate Morris or W. Ashcroft. Footy expert!! Then when things go against him he scurries off. Watch him come back if Cam has a bad quarter or game in the GF. Imagine if we did that with “6 in a granny”?

 

[BrownYouGun]

3rd quarter started and big Cam has knocked up a whole 1 disposal. Will he get to 5 so we can as least have something to compare to Mannaghs game?

 

[RonnieRaven]

Well at least you acknowledged that and he backed it up again

It’s easy to look good in a good team
If brayshaw or serong had that first half we would have loss by 40 and they’d be kick from pillar to post.
If he was putting up these numbers for north he would be irrelevant
Rayner is a number 1 pick
Zac Bailey was 20 odd in same draft I’d pick him over Rayner every day of the week.
That’s not to say Rayner is a bad player

Why are you comparing Vanillashaw with Rayner? You can pickup someone with Vanillashaw’s traits with a rookie pick.

Rayner is a match winning excitement machine.

Great team win by lions but you don’t win individual accolades of BNFs AA and AFL MVP being vanilla
But you’d know that because we are talking about individuals not a team and the way your carrying on Rayner would have plenty of them.
Rayner ave 13d and 1 goal for career.
If you have a gun team that can carry him for 100mins for 20 mins of magic he is one of the best
Bolton was pick 29 in 2016 draft for an impact player like Rayner

Another nuffie that just looks at disposals and not the impact a player has one the game.

Yep great game one by the lions
Clug and andrews were huge

Sorry, I can’t am heavy fingered as I have been celebrating. Thanks for your response correcting my English instead of justifying your argument. As I said Nuffie

2024 AA Squad member mate. Wider footy public are starting to recognize now.

He also came 5th in the 2023 Lions best n fairest - our coaches have been recognizing his work long before AFL did.

It's time for everyone to hail the Rayner rising !

 

[iBeng]

Conspiracy time, I think for legal reasons the AFL has told Brisbane they cant play Rayner in high impact positions for more than one quarter a game, so that the ball can be shared around.

I am not sold until Danster rates him.

How’s these bloody NUFFIES didn’t even put the guy that won the match in the best players? NUFFIES
If those coaches don’t give him the full 10 votes in the Gary Ayres medal
They’ve gone full NUFFIE and no doubt you’ll go full NUFFIE about it.
AA selectors NUFFIES
Umpires NUFFIES
All lions coaches NUFFIES ( he should have 2 BNFs) if not to much looking at stats.
Your right, bloody everywhere!
And that’s coming from a NUFFIE!

Great game and great win for the lions hope they go on and win the flag.

Thanks for that however never did I say Rayner should be in the best 5. I am actually struggling to understand what you are putting forward. My only point was that you can’t look at disposals only when judging players. Many have done this with Rayner as it is easy to do versus analysing his game. A Rayner disposal if more often more impactful than the average disposal.

I just had a look at the bests again. These EXPERTS,
1. Didn’t include Andrews. Doesn’t mean he had a bad game.
2. Couldn’t even spell Wilmot’s name correctly

Told you, Bloody Nuffies the lot of them!

Agree, including Sidebottom and especially Cox as well. Sidebottom played on McCluggage who was best on ground and Cox got 6 disposals. It was Ok to just put down 3 players but Darcy Cameron played well or at least add in Crisp or Quaynor.

Anyway, back on topic, Rayner is like Cyril - doesn't need a lot of possessions to influence games.

I’m not sure what sensibly minded supporter would pick Vanillashaw over Rayner.

I mean Jai Newcombe is better than Vanillashaw - comparing pure mid with pure mid - and he was taken in a rookie draft. I could name about another 50 current players in the same boat.

To be fair Brayshaw did gain some cool points when he did that interview with a bleeding head. Aside from that you’re spot on

 

[bungalow_bill]

Vanillashaw is such an appropriate nick name. Thank goodness we went for the game breaking superstar with pick 1.

Rayner doesn't need 30 disposals to impact the game.

Are you still claiming him to be overrated?
