Raph Clarke - Hardest Shoulder in the AFL??

Post: # 777823Post thirty-seven!? »

Thought it worth mentioning that this is the second time in a month that an opponent has knocked THEMSELVES out on Raph's shoulder! Due to the fact neither were seriously injured, i found this quite humorous!

Thought his game was great today - and i must be honest, i have been a knocker of his this year... But his rebound, disposal and pressure were top notch!

So great to see some of our second tier players stepping up today!

I'd think Ben Warren would argue his broken jaw was a pretty serious injury...

Great game from Raph tonight. Looks like he has regained his finals form of last year.

Love the way he threw his body into contests today. 50 points up and his effort to get infront of a leading Crows player to spoil the ball was fantastic.

"The Wrecking Ball" had a very good game. Threw himself in, defended well and disposed of the ball well also.

Nice too see he is making his mark on the game with some hard hits too 8-)

Good game tonight by Raph. Hopefully he has finally turned a corner now and will continue on with it.

His efforts were great today.

But I still worry about his decision making and disposal after he has won the ball.
