I see there are a few calls for Raines to come in.

Based on his game on Sunday at Williamstown - absolutely no way, not enough defensive pressure on his opponent, average disposal, did have 4 goals kicked against him.

But hey it's just my opnion  :thumbsup

Wouldn't he provide a bit more run out of the backline in a better side than Polo did, I think Polo has been off the money for a few weeks.


Just reading that Robbo blog again on the Hun and he actually says that Raines won't be there next year.... go figure.

Debatable I would think. Disposal is not great and his decision making is slow, hence why he gets caught so often. His tackling on the weekend wasn't much chop either BTW

Teams have young Andrew very much worked out and know he will try and break the lines by baulking, problem is they know which way he is going to go

Fair call in a way - he has trade value because the media (god bless 'em) are always talking him up. I reckon you could easlity get a 2nd rounder for him

I would be happy if we just keep playing the kids.

N. Brown can come back once he has kicked 5 for Coberg.

I know I was being generous  ;D

But really the media rate Raines highly and are always pumping up his tyres - we need to use this to our advantage

We throw in Schulz also since Port were so keen on him a few years back and we were so keen on holding on to our nugget and we ask for a 2nd rounder and a slab of West End or Coopers in return.

LOL, yeah sounds good TB but we couldn't give Schulz away that year to Port or anyone else, lets face it he is finished, never actually started in all honesty.

I believe Ports pick 28 was on the table for Schulz and the powers that be at RFC hung on to him :banghead

If Port give us a slab now lets take it and lets not look back.
In hindsight giving pick 19 for McMahon as bad as that was would have been compensated slightly had we had pick 28 and that kid was playing senior footy now. :banghead

It may have been Marlon Motlop in the 2007 draft

Way to early to call on him only playing five matches but he has a good surname.
