Go Raph
Great game all night was prepared to keep presenting and create an option. His spoiling is by far the best at the Saints. Yes he fumbled once or twice but his willingness to get involved and spoil is invaluable.
NO IFS OR BUTS HARVS IS KING OF THE AFL
Raphs main problem is that he turns it over in the backline. Wouldn't be so much of a problem if it was more up the ground, turnovers happen in footy, but when it can (and I think it did tonight once or twice) cost you 6 points, it makes the player look alot worse. If Raph took 1 or 2 less steps with the ball and didnt get caught as much he'd be a much less maligned player.

Made a few skill errors, but i think the majority of players for both teams had the same problem with the preessure that both teams were applying.

lets not get too excited. posters have admitted he has turnovers but its the areas he does it... he turns over because of a lack of a awareness ... others turn it over kicking 50 or 60 to a contest... he does it missing a target 25 meters away... has a lot of work to do.
great to get the win though.

disagree, I actually think the reason he turns it over is because he actually tries to pin point too much. Thus he holds onto it more and gets under pressure. If he can hit those targets and get confidence then these mistakes will disapear.Banger724 wrote:lets not get too excited. posters have admitted he has turnovers but its the areas he does it... he turns over because of a lack of a awareness ... others turn it over kicking 50 or 60 to a contest... he does it missing a target 25 meters away... has a lot of work to do.

He gives us just as much run as gilbert (who turns it over more).

I like players who can create but are error-prone to be further away from our defensive line, so the errors aren't as costly. With Reiwoldt out,it'd be nice to try him on the half-forward line for a while.
Blindly delusional optimist. Fan of the Blake.

Oh yeah and what about the Gilbert turnover that DIRECTLY resulted in a Griffen goal.Banger724 wrote:lets not get too excited. posters have admitted he has turnovers but its the areas he does it... he turns over because of a lack of a awareness ... others turn it over kicking 50 or 60 to a contest... he does it missing a target 25 meters away... has a lot of work to do.

Thought raph was great, probably had as good a set of hands as anyone in the side, really attacked the contest and got ahead of the play and received to run more regularly than Fisher Gilbert or any other defender tonight. One of our best IMO, alot seem to remember one turn over? The whle side kicked terribly tonight IMO, Only remember raph doing it once?
Maybe this year?
Crap - lovechild has been missing targets for weeks.wraiyth wrote:Difference is that Gilbert is generally good and had a poor game. Raph seems to be the opposite.
he heas been worked out by opposition teams trhat he cant kick on the right foot and force him on to his left.
You go over to Facebook with all the other Raph haters.
He has made the fickle haters have eggs ALL OVER THEIR FACES TONIGHT.
Suck it up you bunch of princesses

He did a lot of good things....especially running from behind out of defence...
He did make critical errors, relating directly to two Bulldog goals....Gilbert made one....
I thought it was Blake who made the most errors down back tonight....
Our back are very good defensively....but are all low in skill level..

The two so called 'supporters' behind me didn't give him a break all night. Before he even got the ball they would say things like:
" OH for God's sake don't give it to Clarke"
" Clarke has been one of the best on ground.....For the Bulldogs"
I was very close to turning around and having a go, but instead I just made sure I gave him a big cheer everytime he got the ball.
He was FAR from our worst tonight, but some 'supporters' still cannot give him a go.
I would like to see said 'supporters' out there having a go so everyone can rip on them all game.
