I'm also a fan of young Andrew, particularly his inside work.  Reads the game well and has clean hands but still needs to adjust to the tempo of senior AFL footy.......more gametime will help!
 
Good post Redders - his first 5 metres is really a concern. As stated, his best option would be to keep working on the tank and turning himself into an inside player (ala Coughlan). I just can't see him playing on a wing/flank on a fast track (especially now that Casserly/Tambling/JON/White are in direct competition for these possies). I hope I am wrong. One thing that young Rainsey has is the drive and desire - lets hope this turns him into a 100 gamer.
 
Speed off the mark has a lot to do with technique so I'm sure all hope is not lost yet.

No, all hope is lost. He's gone. Done. Kaput. A dud.

Let's burn him at the stake and stop wasting any more time, effort and money on him.

(This is what I call Dumb Softsider bait......heh heh heh....watch 'em come runnin'.....)

i rate him, think he needs a few games in the ones with consistent gametime to get his confience up and establish himself from there

nice avatar Dools... very appropriate in the age of Howard's "diet-Hansonism"... :-X
