He will be a very good player for them, no doubt.
No doubt? Based on what? Last nights game?
Pretty quick to say that jackie. David Rodan started well too..
Raines never had a problem picking up possessions but again last night in the 2nd half particularly he found himself running in to trouble.
His disposal in the first half was quite solid and he did do a good job on Betts I'll admit but as I said the 2nd half saw the same ol' errors as Carlton(hardly the leagues benchmark) came storming back. His kicking and decision making reverted to type.
If the Lions are going anywhere they would be looking to upgrade him IMO. Just as we did.
I expect he will be exposed over the coming weeks against quality sides and will be running around in the 2nds again soon enough.
We'll see I guess.
