Gorringe will be gone at the end of the season.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Seems pretty simple ???
While Casboult is the best we have in the position...he's in the team.
When somebody better comes along he's not.
When he's not able to make the side... we'll be a pretty good side. Big Grin

Summed it up perfectly as usual Lods  Smile

However, there is another possibility:
When he's not in the side... he'll be playing in a better side  Sad

Jarrod Brander might be an option with pick 2

When somebody better comes along he's not. We've been trying to replace him for years but recruited badly... (Watson, McCarthy that other bloke who played 1 game!) Lucky fella, Meat.
When he's not able to make the side... we'll be a pretty good side. Big Grin Yep, couldn't agree more.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Luke Mitchell was the other bloke who played one game.

Apart from Rayner who is the standout No 1 by a long way IMO we could end up with a variety of different players to pick from given
the evenness of the top 10, Brander is a very strong mark but is regarded by many as a better KP defender than forward..
Seeing as Rayner wont get through to us I like Darcy Fogarty from SA...can play onball and down forward...has some physical edge to his game too...

Rayner reminds me of Jake Stringer.

I'm less sure about him than others. Flashy... but will he evolve or us he a manchild?

There's a very good reason why we're the lowest scoring team in the competition and it's simply because we have no forwards of the required standard.
Charlie and Jack will be ok but neither of them are key position or ever likely to be, Wright is by far our best small forward and he's not what anyone would call top class.
Casboult is the best key forward we've got at the moment but after 80 or 90 games his numbers are nothing flash, and when his agent hawked him around the best deal he could get was one year with us.
We're slowly building a decent side but until we get a key forward we won't be going far in September.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Main comparison with Rayner by all the scribes is Dusty Martin...got the big fend off like Dusty and gets forward to kick goals...
Big kids usually end up being big men...difference with Rayner to most of the other top 10 candidates is he will play rnd 1
in 2018. Luke Davies-Uniacke is a player that might interest us...big mid who wins plenty of contested ball, probably not as polished as Rayner
and more of your workhorse type.
