Raph named in All-stars team
Exactly that - Raph has been given a position in the Aboriginal All-Stars game Against Adelaide on 7th of Feb.
It is good that we - the saints - are able to have a representative in the game, but also positive that it shows a positive progression is Raph's career.
It would be such a positive story for this to be a true breakout year for the kid after all he has been through in the past 6 - 12 months!

Yes well done Raph, but how many Aboriginals are playing AFL, not to discount his efforts, but I reckon if you play more than half the games in a season and are a consistent performer, you'd get a gig.
But Raph did way better than that, and is now one of our top players IMO.

to be fair though, any indigenous bloke not named in the squad should probably feel ashamed considering rookies and 2008 draftees yet to play a game got a gig.
still good for raph though, although i have the feeling he's gonna have to play KPP looking at the bunch of midgets that make up the rest of the squad

The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

He was listed in the best seven and in a game that was heavily dominated by the All Stars forwards - so maybe he is on his way to that All Australian guernseybigcarl wrote:good work raph. now for the all australian.
Big things from Rapha this year - he is continuing as he left off!
