Andrew Raines

[NACKERS]

I cannot remember a kid in his first full year having as much impact as sog has (son of geoff) in his first full year he is tipped by his coach to win the B&F NAB rising star . How far do you think he will go could he be our Ian Stewart and win a Brownlow. Your thoughts

Welcome to OER, Nackers.
I'd just like to see Andrew take one year at time and not get ahead of himself thinking about Brownlows and stuff.
Lids had a great year last year, and not as good this year.  He needs to just take it one step at a time as well and for us not to put pressure on them.
They're both exciting and hopefully those Brownlows and stuff will follow, but they're both pretty young.
Andrew has exceeded every expectation I had of him this year  and can't ask for more

Raines is better than Lids by a country mile.

wait and see.

Raines is better than Lids by a country mile.

wait and see.

Over the whole year agree Ox as Lids struggled with tags. Over the past month though Wallace has freed up Lids and he has been great off the half-back line and breaking the lines with his pace. The running goal he got last week against Carlton and the one he put on a platter for Pettifer as exampels of that.

Raines is better than Lids by a country mile.

wait and see.

Different types of players oxy and both will be dynamic in there own ways. Raines is an absolute workhorse in the contest and Delidio is a fleet footed runner with buckets of flair. I see Raines as one of our future bullocking in and under midfielders dishing the ball out to the skillful fleet footed Delidio who then hits our hard and fast leading forwards in Shultz and Hughes
