Didnt he turn his back on the club along with cloke for more money at the pies?
I think it was a money Decision when he found out what Maurice Rioli was being payed and Raines asked for a pay rise,
And complained to the Board about it.
But looking back both clubs lost this trade war.

Big call : if he had of stayed at Tigerland would’ve been in the same sphere as Dyer Titus Wright Bartlett Bourke Richardson. He was that good , got surly about the Daddy of them all , Maurice Rioli taking his centre man spot and money issues . A damn shame , so glad Dusty didn’t chase it . And Raines could mix it physically with anyone .

Geoff enjoyed his stay at the Bears better than his time Pies and Dons. LOL Should never have left Richmond.
He’s on record several times as saying it was a huge mistake to leave Richmond.

Been to a few Richmond and Coburg games with Rainsey when Andrew was playing with us, including games when Andrew wasn’t actually playing. You’ve never heard a more passionate Richmond person. Phew he could go hard. Especially hates Cwood so will be apt to see him out there on Thursday night.

Bloke loves Richmond. To this day and forever. It actually really bugs him that he didn’t remain a one club player with us.
