Rayner was actually decent tonight I thought. Nothing like an Andy or Caleb decent but by his standards he did some good things.

With pick 1 you're really hoping for more than decent though. A graders are pretty rare with pick 1 which is an interesting quirk.

Rayner was a man child. He would have abused Andy, Cerra and co as a 17 yo. Now there isn't a significant difference in strength he doesn't have much to fall back on.

At least he's playing good footy. Erasmus cost us a high draft pick and he can't even make the 22

He’s a poor man’s shooter drafted in 2017.
Ras is a sniff over two season old.
Rayner is s**t house

 

[Silencer83]

Maybe he didn't want to come to Perth to see the in-laws.

He has missed a few return trips to play us since he left.

That was the rumour before he left, mother in law a little too involved in their lives.

Rayner isn't s**t

Hmm he sure does good impression though

He's being played out of position to me. Put him on ball full time and watch the fireworks.

Maybe but he still goes missing a bit too often than you'd want out of #1.

Really both of those 16/17 drafts are pretty average which has cooked Brisbane a bit.

 

[freo1]

Langford reminds me of Hughes. Just a no nonsense player who is fit and can mark, gets involved. The switch from defence to forward is a huge win.

Naughton. He’s actually a B grader in disguise tbh. He’s just that much better than Hipwood. Both have loads of potential talent. Just s**t footballers on the day.

Naughton is actually a gun - he’s just played grossly out of position. He’s a classic CHB with his marking, toughness and reading of the play but for some reason he’s played up forward (can’t kick to save himself).

 

[RonnieRaven]

Rayner isn't s**t

He averages less than a goal a game
And 12d over his career.
If he was pick 58 he’d be at his third club

Idk, I think he is really fumbly, he could be a gun if he was one touch.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I’m recording his post match presser in case I have trouble falling asleep in the near future

Whose ? Chris or J’s ?

 

[Spirit Level]

Norf trying to be like us after last week?

F**k off we're the purple team

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Feel like Norf are a decent chance. Might just be my want for Carlton to lose talking

 

[Fat Nyfe]

They are so chock full of talent, it’s a disgrace they were gifted those compo picks from the AFL. Lucky they aren’t old enough to run over sides yet (hope they can today though)

 

[One_Wing]

Can the afl have a mulligan on the 2024 priority picks for north...they clearly don't need them anymore.

 

[freo84]

Go Norf!

 

[s_wd6]

Forget how much the umps suck off Carlton. So many throws and htb already that they’ve let go

 

[mike91]

Typical Carlton game. No holding the ball against them and they get every free kick their way

 

[gaskin]

I don't know what these commentators are going on about. That was a free all day to Curnow. The defender is holding his arm and you can see the arm being pulled back as he is trying to move towards the ball.

 

[DMan 11]

Norths turnovers and 50m against are killing them

Terrible call by the ump, McKay was holding corrs arm not the other way

I guess Norf only look great when the oppo are asleep

They have. The issue is he doesn't have a tank.
