Player Watch #13 Hugo Ralphsmith - MCL Injury 5-7 Weeks

[richoplzbreed]

Pump games into the kid and watch him flourish. Looked phenomenal taking the game on, his kicking will improve with confidence. Wish these kids would run their full measure before bouncing though.

 

[59Stanley]

bloody star in the making !

 

[tiger_tough]

Going to be a gun wingman

 

[Jozzy]

Certainly is arriving, developing very nicely!

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Love his attack on the ball, goes hard and has the skates to hurt the oppo

 

[juss]

His best game for the club today imo.

Needs to keep playing and be encouraged to keep taking the game on.

 

[El Tigre]

Great to watch his development. Looking like he feels like he belongs.

This kid is going to be awesome

I really like how Ralphy's contested game has improved. Shut down the bulldogs half forwards on the weekend. Kept Anthony Scott to 5 touches and zero impact on the game.

Can easily see him being long term replace for Vlastuin / Broad as a mid-sized half back.

 

[Waca Jr]

Key to his development has been the mullet. Must keep at all costs. In fact, Roar store should sell Ralphsmith mullets. Would buy

Yep, really loved the improvement in this side of his game so far this year, shows how quickly he can translate the off-field messaging on improvements he needs to make into tangible on-field results.

There's nothing coaches love more than a highly 'coachable' young player, they'd be thrilled with his progress.

Longer term, I suspect he's midfield bound and doing the long established apprenticeship on a HBF, just has a torso which should see him become a very solid unit down the track. Either way, back or in the guts, he looks like becoming a very good player.

Has there ever been a bad player with a good mullet?

Is def working on that and making progress , competes well in the air avd has laid some good tackles , on the way to being a very good player

 

[juss]

Yep, really like his improvement. That's all you can ask for of young players, that they have a go and keep improving and developing.

I reckon long term he might move away from the HBF line and up the ground a bit more, possibly on a wing.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

How good was his spoil in the middle of the ground (that was apparently a free kick against)? Brilliant.

 

[Marcel Proust]

If he stays in the team might play more forward / mid ?

Might have to.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

I love the run he gives us. Can be our version of Langdon from the Dees. As his tank builds up more, he’ll be a beauty!

 

[Tiger1974]

Making Jayden Short expendable.

Ohh god

Danny Southern?

Congrats Ralphy. Reckon he's going to be a gun wingman in a couple years.
