Where have they got? Will they be kept?

I remember how exciting these two once were. 04 - 06 terrific running players.

Week after week I hope to see them back in the red, white and black together but it never happens.

Updates anyone. It would be good to see them again, who do you think is the better talent?

I expect them both to be inclusions this week actually... should be looking at 4/5 changes... Both Raph and x have had a few casey games... Raph may have more talent, x has far greater application and aggression...

very different players... hope they both come in...

I think X will come into the side this week after a strong performance for Casey. Raph might take the rest of this year to come to terms with his illness.

Both have a major family issue ATM that they are probably struggling with.

I for one am prepared to cut them both a bit of slack !!

I aggree let them do what they need to to get through some tough times,

I would love to see the both of them playing well for us in 08 but I'm sure the red pill is not the first thing on the mind at the minute.

Family first, not footy first.

Good luck to the both of them, they MUST be kept for one more season and a fresh start in 09

Put them both on the full forward line.

Heard on SEN this morning that both have realy struggled with family issues this year - understanable.

What i did not know is apparently R Clarke has been struggling with the effect of medication he takes / has had to take and this has had an affect on his football. This may explaina few things as he was always highly rated early.

It is a very fine line between cutting loses and expecting too much too early and it biting you later

I would like to see the posters here get off their backs and stay off for a while.

There was a major article on this earlier in the year. Rapj was diagnosed as being epilipectic and is now on medication.
