Thought he broke the lines well last night, and while some may choose to remember a couple which missed the target, there were many more long penetrating kicks which were as good as they come. Thought he was a part of our most impressive moves forward all night - and particularly important without Gram.

Yep, his kicking is actually really good....When he hits the target, he hit it well.
Its the two to three a game that destroy his kicking reputation....half of those due to poor decision making at times too.

On Joey, I was worried he was being overworked on Fri night....looked a bit tired.starsign wrote:hope he's ok and comes up !
as you can pencil him in for a goody on the Subi paddock I recon
Joey had some really good things to say about him post match
Luckily, he pulled up ok and made it through.
Don't forget consecutive 6 day breaks stuffs up the players.
A 9 day break before Freo will do wonders.
Go Misson!

Has quietly worked himself into some form.
Seemed most on radio wanted him dropped after games end... that last clanger was a doozy... also seems that's the only way to score on him these days.
In the last 3 weeks, his opponents have scored 2 goals from their own work. I can think of at least 2 that have come directly from his turnovers (on 1 there's some mitigating circumstance...).
It's a tradeoff, > 20 touches a game and providing the rebound from the fullback line against ~ 2 goals.

He reminds me so much of Grammy when he was starting out...We surely remember the Grambulance nick name!
Raph is a creative footballer with very good skills. His decision making sometimes gets him into trouble as he tends to run himself into trouble on occasions. He is providing excellent run in lieu of Gram as his confidence is growing.
