thats cute, asks people to put forward reasons for defending him and yet in the same paragraph gives no reason to drop him?hAyES wrote:Whenever I see someone defending Raph, it's always someone saying something like "FFS leave him alone" or "Everybody bags him, leave him alone" or "oh look, another Raph thread!", but rarely do I see one defending his play. Is there anybody here who can tell me what Raph is good at, apart from getting caught after holding the ball for forever? I'd like to see that rather than the pathetic "leave him alone" posts which he gets just because he plays for St Kilda.
Once Goddard and Goose come back, if Raph isn't dropped by then I'm going to lose hope with Ross (selection wise) or whoever it is that keeps giving him a game.
Contested marks, running the lines in a contested tight match, can actually spoil (apart from max can anyone else?). Full of talent and needs to play 10+ games in this defence to get the feel for who is around the options the coaches want him to make.
But don't let facts get in the way....
