Post went 14.3 I think in the beep, great performance. I think he was first in his group.

I've watched Posty play since under 9's, has always had a great amount of talent. And i recent years has become a lot harder at the footy. Would be great for the Altona Football Club if he were drafted!

Can you define raw? To me raw would be a guy that maybe has played another sport and has just taken up footy. Rayners mates reckon footy is his main go even though his aths get more attention. Has played footy for 10 years, done all the rep side stuff, edfl, jets devolpment squads, Vic metro. Hardly raw. You could be proved right about Rayner and another year wouldn't hurt his development. My interest in him and others particulary in North/west metro is to promote or ask about guys who are maybe in the 50+ draft range. Alot of BF chat is simply on top 10-20. Those picks are easy and the chat is recycled. I'll give you another smokey Pat Hayes from the Cannons. Gun hockey player who has switched to footy. Another smokey is Bryce Carroll from the Jets. Good run, kick & mark. Yes he got invited to draft camp but little if no discussion on him on BF.

when i refer to raw had nothing to do with games played or afl experience more on size. is fair few hours in the gym shy of playing at the highest level. very very skinney.
also heard even though he may have footy as his number 1 if u speak to his parents (or maybe just one parent, not sure) they would prefer he concentrate on aths. just wot i heard tho not certain on this maybe u could shed some light

Gaernter is SO athletic for a big man. One to watch IMHO

He is quite mobile. He looks like he will strugle to put on muscle mass tho.
He is a very borderline player.

I hear Rayner has been working with a league clubs weights coach and has put on a few kilos in the gym since being sidelined. With a big pre-season and another 5-6 kg with his speed & endurance who knows perhaps he could play senior footy during 09. Depend whether afl clubs want to recruit now and work on him over the next 12 months or risk losing him to GC17 or another club in next years draft where he would feature in the lower rounds.

Who knows what's in the minds of parents but can't imagine his dad being a problem as he has a footy background and heavily involved in junior footy. Anyway what 18 year old listens to his parents. Surely at that age the parents are irrelevant and its between the player & the clubs.
