Yep Brisbane are interested tugga. It was an official from the Lions who rang up SEN to say they were interested in Raines and not Rance when Schwarz mixed up the two.

Well if thats the case, why didnt the idiots take it :banghead
Like I said the Club didn't think Rance (a tall) would still be around at pick 18 thinking it was a weak draft and they chickened out of the Schulz deal. Remember it was 2007 and Port had just made the GF with Rodan having a ripper year and the media bagging up for letting him go. The thought of Sarge doing a "Rodan" at Port also put the Club off.

Rance is too slow

Is he slow?

My memory is getting bad in my old age but I thought I remembered either posters or media articles saying he was quick during pre-season.

he is slow and has been run down on many occasions during the year. He would have more holding the balls than anyone in the team

That is noticeable and also his disposal is questionable.

However I still don't know if he is slow, I think it could be a case of more lack of footy smarts and where to run and how. 

I think as has been suggested here before is to play him at fullback where there is only one way to run at the ball.

Brilliant.  I would be over the moon to get their pick 40-something.  :clapping

The other thing to consider is Rainesy has nominated a club of his choice to deal with. If Brisbane think they can get him for basically nothing in a trade then why bother dealing with them if the RFC gets nothing out of it. We might as well delist Raines and let him take his chances in the draft.

Raines gets wish
Jon Ralph
Herald-Sun | September 2, 2009, Page 77

RICHMOND has told former Rising Star runner-up Andrew Raines it will try to accommodate his request to be traded elsewhere.

Raines has been plagued by knee issues for the past two years and played just three AFL games this season.

Why should we give him what he wants.
His worth nothing & l would just dump him & let him sweat in the draft.
You dont give players what they request when they give nothing for keeping them over the years

Ricky Olarenshaw was just on SEN. (Raines' manager)

Raines' preference is Brisbane, he likes Voss and Gubby has known him since he was a kid. Sounds like he'll go anywhere though as long as he gets a game.

Olarenshaw said that clubs had been asking during the year why he wasn't getting a game.
