Raph just needs to get into the right head space.
In the VFL he dominates because he does not feel the exposure, not as many see him play down there, so way less pressure.
At AFL level he has the demons of the past in his head, constantly worried he will make the same mistakes over and over, self fulfilling prophecy on many occasions.
If someone can clear all the garbage out of his head, and give him a fresh start, clean slate one never knows what can happen.
Has the damage been done in his mind already though? Perhaps the fresh start may be at another club, and we may see a side of Raph we have seen rarely in the AFL.

A true king doesn't glass his girlfriend.
A true king doesn't smear his blood on an opponent when he cannot break a tag.
A true king does not label umpires disgraceful.
A true king is Robert Harvey.
