Support for Raph Clarke !!
After today's revelations I reckon it would be a nice touch for those who feel inclined to email Raph with your own messages of support. You can send your emails to archief@saints.com.au or reception@saints.com.au and they will get to him !!

a very tough time, the club should give both boys a leave of absence during this bvery tough time..we all know performance is effected by the mindset of the player and we should not expect them to play.
let them be with their father, even if they train away from the team, its sad that they are on call and their father could pass without them by his side.
come on saints do the right thing.

I think you will find the club would have spoken to them and let them decide how they handle it.fonz_#15 wrote:a very tough time, the club should give both boys a leave of absence during this bvery tough time..we all know performance is effected by the mindset of the player and we should not expect them to play.

from my reading of the situation is that the club has supported the bys to fly back a few times but their father wants them to come back and play senior football.fonz_#15 wrote:a very tough time, the club should give both boys a leave of absence during this bvery tough time..we all know performance is effected by the mindset of the player and we should not expect them to play.

In a lot of ways being in a club environment would be the best thing for both X and Raph at present. Be assured the club would be monitoring the situation closely and doing everything possible for the boys and the family !!fonz_#15 wrote:a very tough time, the club should give both boys a leave of absence during this bvery tough time..we all know performance is effected by the mindset of the player and we should not expect them to play.

Courage under fire
Jake Niall | June 25, 2008
Raph Clarke is not looking for excuses despite his off-field battles.
ON THE day after a half-strength St Kilda defeated Richmond in its first NAB Cup game of 2008, creating great and unwelcome expectations for the Saints, Raphael Clarke discovered that he would carry his own burden: Epilepsy.

If Demetriou and our club, with the agreeance of North, Port and Footscray, were all fair dinkum, the North Saints game would've been switched to Darwin so the Clarke boys could play a final match in front of their father.
How good would that be eh?
I'm sure Port and Footscray could play at Carrara for a straight swap??
Too late now though.
All the best Raph & X.

i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.
Just like to say good luck Raph, and to all you Raph haters and scapegoaters, go and F*** off.
Total ignoramous cabbages the lot of you.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Not due to injury.
Bit of a breath of fresh air among all the contrived arguinig and posturing of other shows

R and X
My sympathy to the Clarke brothers for their current travails. I think if in the scheme of life that playing football seems so unimportant, perhaps being paid well to play football is also unimportant and the money can be returned to the salary cap to in some way compensate the club for wasting draft picks on frequently injured and unproductive players.
