Great game Raph

Post: # 1130617Post RodKeoghsLoveChild »

Played his heart out and stood up all night. Great attacking effort from a much maligned player. On ya Raph!

Was very good. Lots of confidence, good decision-making, and - what can I say - terrific skills.

Was fantastic all night. Great confidence, mostly used the ball well, tackled, chased and was clearly our best.

Well done Raphy

Sensational game. Composed and evasive. He is much better at the G.

Hopefully he gets to show his worth against the Hawks or Cats in Week 2.

Possibly his best game since the 2009 QF Final against Collingwood.

10 minutes into that final quarter I was calling "well done, BOG" whenever he got a touch.

I vaguelly remember him spilling a mark, but to criticise him for that would be just plain nitpicking.

Where are all the Raph-bashers now?

*silence*

Yep, they have pulled their heads in now. And so they bloody should.

He played a great game and in the last quarter he went down in a spill and started limping he was back a couple of minutes later and took a telling mark.

And yes the Raph knockers were very silent.

Well yes we had the Zac Dawson knocker this evening and Zac became the whipping boy for the gentleman in M32, row GG for all of the first quarter.

So bad that the St Kilda barracking family in the row of this goose had to move because of his harping on about Zac Dawson and his general behaviour towards those in the area.

Sir, if you are going to knock Zac Dawson at least have an informed opinion about the player, and as for your general behaviour, don't turn up half soaked before the game and keep drinking and if people ask to temper the language then do so.

But then it got really good when Zac marked and kicked and then took another good mark in the third quarter by which time this idiot had disappeared to go and get some more liquid refreshments.

great game by raph and glad to see him run off an ankle sprain too.


I bought a shirt from Target once.
It had a hard tag on it too.

I know how Dal feels.

He copped some criticism in the media for pulling out of some contests recently.

Tonight he went hard at everything.
Was Saintsational.
