I don't mind Ralphsmith and actually rate him, but I would not have had him in the best last night.

Rayner is hardly a better player now than when he was in his first season. Stats and impact wise there's maybe a disposal a game in it. Crazy how much he flies under the radar, because he may be one of the lowest ceiling Pick 1s of all time.

Not sure what the issue with Rayner is. Is it fitness? Not being established in any one position?
Regardless of what it is he probably needs a fresh start. If he came really cheaply (3rd rounder, etc) I'd be interested.

Rayner needs to shed 5kgs of bulk. He will not lose much power and strength. He needs to be helping out in the Bris midfield at this stage but doesn’t which suggests his tank is lacking.

My eyes popped when I saw Rayner was 93kgs . ! No wonder he moves around like a truck missing a tyre.

Where did you see that I thought they couldn’t handle weight info being published? I will have you know I’m 118kgs and before I ruptured my Achilles at 49 I double blind turned my oppo in a 5 man weave.

As the old saying goes; fatty adipose is temporary but class is permanent.

Seriously average player has some nice tools but he is closer to a Rohan type of player instead of the Dusty, Trac that people were hoping he would become.
Could seriously be anything but expect to reach the heights people thought there would of been more shown so far.
Could be a star or this level
Do the old Scully/Jon Patton type trade eh?

I totally forgot both of those players at Hawthorn. Gee we had a mini shit show of bad decisions around those times

Patton and Scully were older with a lot more baggage than Rayner. Rayner still only 24 and hails from Melbourne and if the price was right, you'd have to give it serious consideration. Has elite traits and maybe Sam along with Burge could unlock the inner star.

Don't be surprised to see Rayner in Dogs colours next year.

With our stocks rising and the future brighter now will we start to attract those bigger name free agents who might want a piece of that

Hopefully with better results. Rayner passes the good bloke check like Scully too, and he isn't injury riddled. I doubt they'd give him up for a 3rd rounder, but if they did I think it would be worth a gamble.
Edit: wonder if Zac Bailey could be an option too.

Pure speculation. Just said May and McDonald are both 32.

They would have had to agree to be traded to the Eagles - what contracted player in their right mind would have agreed to that!

He missed the 2021 season, other than that has played 22, 24, 17, 24, 26 games in his complete seasons. Not injuries.
He seems inconsistent, and from little I've seen, easy to defend (not tall, not overly quick).

Love his work, can play forward or back and playing his best footy now and over the next 5 years.

It’s just Twomey clutching at straws to downplay anything hawks related as usual. Thinks battle more likely to choose north than us…

Rayner is a quality person but a very disappointing career to date for a pick 1. Too expensive to really consider I’d reckon.
