2 in a row... Blues Blow past the Gold Coast

[PaulP]

Raines is a deadest dog.

Rocket commenting on his game :

Gold Coast coach Rodney Eade said that 29-year-old former Richmond and Brisbane Lions tagger Raines – promoted off the rookie list due to the Suns' hefty injury toll – had been worn down by his younger opponent's run.

"I thought his first quarter was fantastic. He kept Cripps to three possessions, did really well," Eade said.

"Then they made a move of putting Cripps to half-forward coming up ... really testing Andrew. And then I thought he became undisciplined to be honest.

"He's playing with bone on bone in his knee. He's done a terrific job for us coming off the rookie list but he was recruited  really to help our depth in our NEAFL.

"He physically just can't carry out the game, and that's why he was carrying on."



In other words, bye bye Andy.
