Johnny RAYNER

2014 Digest:   Fast enough to quality for the Commonwealth Games 400 metres and 800 metres. Very speculative choice by Essendon as he last played the game three years ago with Western Jets, but early reports say that he is a good listener and quick learner who will be groomed as a half back (a very quick one).

2014 NAB Cup:   Ex Commonwealth Games 400-metre runner and 800-metre national champ. Half-back flank is likely eventual role.
