[Kepfan]

Looks like a gun to me. Bull like.

 

[muzzington]

Really happy with this.

 

[Scham]

Yep, good pick. Like this one. Fills a need.

 

[jlandy]

[Harlequin Dream]

Congrats guys. He was a favorite for me, glad he wasn't dismissed for his height.

You have a player who is quick, can kick and loves to make a big play.

Just remember the last time you took an undersized inside mid in the 3rd round.

 

[E Shed]

Looks a goer! Him a Lachie Neale down forward in spells could be a real handful.

 

[ChimpaWompa]

Outrageous highlights. You reckon Rayner was the Martin clone, THIS GUY CANNOT BE TACKLED (maybe a touch shorter)

 

[SallyWidebottom]

I cracked a wide on watching that highlight package. Love that he takes it on, breaks tackles, hits targets (over distance) puts it to advantage, Ollie Wines like is a good call.

 

[serial_thrilla]

The next Nick Suban. I look forward to many a shrugged tackle and raking left foot goal.

150+ gamer lock.

Has he got a right boot?

In the highlights video he receives a bit of a hospital pass and Rayner has him cold, but he is still able to break the tackle.

 

[Bluto]

Umm...that is an amazing highlights package...the goal from the middle at the 1 min mark and the the 3 possessions with lace out to the fwd (with the decision making to hit the guy who wasnt the obvious target) at 135 are sensational.

 

[Taylor]

We got the nugget!

 

[TheMcManusNose]

He looks like an absolute nugget. Awesome.

 

[scon]

Round 15 Macca's Cup MVP Mitch Crowden.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Has he got a right boot?

IDK actually. I suspect he doesn't, as I remember seeing him wheel out of a contest many times in the SANFL reserves grand final.

You can watch that game here

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Ummmm I think I just watched my fav highlights package of the draft. WTF!!

 

[StingBitten]

The next Nick Suban. I look forward to many a shrugged tackle and raking left foot goal.

Question - when people say ‘raking’ left boot what does that mean? It’s always been applied to Suban and never fully understood the term.

 

[benfica]

wow that bounce bursting through the pack at about the 3 min mark

 

[Rion]

Really like him. Don't quite understand it but reckon the AFL as a whole really underrates the small, nuggety contested players.

Question - when people say ‘raking’ left boot what does that mean? It’s always been applied to Suban and never fully understood the term.

Some people seem to use it to describe a player who can kick long, but I think it refers more to players who kick around their body like a soccer player. Think suckling or Heath Black

As an elite left footer myself, I think it has something to do with the fact that many of us have a habit of kicking around corners. 'Sweeping' or 'racking' our legs. There is no such thing as a racking right footer.
