Well done Raph Clarke-pledge your support
He came to us with high expectations. We were told that Xavier's brother was even better than him.
Things didn't pan out in the early stages. There were lots of critics about his decision making and quickness of thought. Even today there are still some critics.
Fact is that he has stayed in the team and kept other good players out of the team. His last two finals series have been really good. The move of him in to the forward line against Collingwood, gave Rooey the breather that he needed and his handball over the top to Roo was inspired.
He can be the X factor (pun intended) and I am sure he will playing for his family, his culture and most importantly for his team. himself and the supporters (thanks Iceman). He has the chance to make history and he has created that opportunity with his ability.
Well done Raph.

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>)

I remember his first kick.
He took a mark against Collingwood 20 metres out, slight angle.
Then went back and kicked into the man on the mark.
He's come a long way since then.
Go Raph.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

I put $20 on him at $300. At the moment you can get him at $280 at Betfair.dcstkfc wrote:Norm Smith value at $101. Go Raph, gutsy as hell!
Tomorrow is your day.
Gerard Healy once wrote a mock description of a GF win by the Saints. The highlight was Raph taking a screamer on his brother's shoulders, who was already on top of an opposition player's shoulders.
I ♥ Raph.
