    He now has the confidence to go for contested marks and this area of his game is improving by the week.

    His kicking is excellent and also improving by the week.

    Sure he made a mistake. From one angle of the vision you can see he was daring to kick it to one of our players and it would have been a great switch of play. However due to various reasons such as rain, wind the drop of the ball was affected and it came slightly off the side of his boot and found Peter Wright. We didn't lose. The world didn't end and even if we did lose he is still a good player.
    You are entitled to your view but for mine he has "Hipster" written all over him.

    I bet he drinks craft beer too...

      I was cranky at the time of the kick, but on further reflection I think I'm glad he found out first-hand how dangerous a play it can be, and that's much better than finding out in a GF.
      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

        What worries me is despite a lot of instances of poor kicking in our back 50 since that 'day' last year, we keep doing it. Its not just Rampe, but most of the back 6 have been culpable of stupid kicks in the back 50s this year. I know we are missing Mal, but we need to play the percentages more in our back 50 - when in doubt, go the safe option, and most definitely don't kick across your own goals.

            If Rampe tied his hair back with a bow we would stop complaining. Well, at least some of us would.

              I do recall Teddy doing a similar things a few wells ago. A high kick across the front of the goals that ended up in an opposition hands for a goal. No one carried on about that kick.

              I do love a craft beer too, much better than that mad produced stuff.

                Two classic auto corrects there. Love them both.

                        Shouldn't that be Michael Hurley?

                        or Brodie Grundy?

                          Both coaches had Rampe in their best players for the game. He scored a 4 and a 2. Possibly Eade scored him higher for his goal assist to Wright.

                            Yeah, the coaches love Rampe.
                            I cant understand the hate on here. He's the most improved player on the list by a long stretch.

                              We have the lowest 'scores against' at the end of Round 10.

                              Rampe last week; Shaw a few weeks ago, and another (can't remember) who kicked out direct to opposition.

                                Pretty sure it was Jetta in the same game as Shaw.
