He was wasn’t he. The clearance work in the first was outstanding, but I loved the inside 50’s - as I said earlier and elsewhere, he was playing the Mitch Robertson role and it worked!!
Not sure I entirely agree. Mitch played as a winger and got handball fed out the back where he dumped it inside. Rayner was receiving the ball on the run and moving forward if he wasn’t in winning the clearance himself.
Outside of stoppages it’s not really the same either. Cam got leading marks and entires on the corner of the centre square while Robbo usually got his marks and entries at the half forward on the wings after a decent penetrating kick to him.
Berry plays more like Mitch Robinson role which makes sense because they are both literally wingers.
Have I taken the ‘role’ sense too literally in what you said?
