Rumour Thread

[CURLY]

Just thought we needed one being the off season and all. Try to keep it to rumours about player movements and not arguing how stupid the rumour is.

Raph Clarke to Hawthorn as a free agent

Raph Clarke to Hawthorn as a free agent

I think there will be a bit of interest in Raph, to play in a different position though...Thinline alluded the other day that the Suns may have interest in playing him forward of centre as well.

With all due respect to Raph if that is the case I have grave concerns for Gold Coast

Really?

Don't see it as being unusual to grab a fringe player at a club and reinvent him.

Happens all the time.

My rumour is Raph will never make it as a forward at any club. he is a running backman. That isnt a rumour thats fact.

So put it in the fact thread, this is the rumour thread.

You could see Raph turning it around as a roaming marking half forward. Makes sence GC would be looking at him. Still think he has value as a backman at the Saints though.

[borderbarry]

Of course he has value at the Saints. If he should leave, I dont know who his detractors would pick on next. Be interesting to see.

[evo]

As a forward he would not do as much damage to his side when he gets caught from behind.

[jimmy_slats]

is this a rumor thread or a Raph bashing thread? seriously dont some of you get tiered of constantly bagging him? clearly your not an AFL player and as Raphs contract states he actually is. so if you think you can do a better job then go get an AFL contract and prove it or shut the hell up!!!

[WinnersOnly]

Lets hope he gets another opportunity he is a great young fella ! Hopefully his new club tells hims he has to improve his core strength and build his legs up I believe that has always been his weakness !

[Dr Spaceman]

Maybe the next scapegoat hasn't been drafted/recruited yet?

[Old Mate]

I think Crazy Vossy would not only take Raph Clarke but play him as a power forward. Probably pay him $500k p/y giving us decent FA compo too.

Rumour 2 -We will loose at least another 4 players of the list in the next few weeks

[Cairnsman]

I would just love to see him given an extended run in the forward line with us or for another club. Just would love to see the guy succeed becuase he's got some skill.

[Sick Nal Danto]

Rumor circling that we have talked to Josh Caddy's management

So looks like we are interested

[8856brother]

Rumour or Raph thread?

[miskycat]

Would be sorry to see him go.
He's a gutsy player and we need more, not less, of his type.

[Con Gorozidis]

This rumour thread isnt going too well so far.
Can we get some more please!

P66.......is it not correct that Guerra was a forward with us? Look what the Hawks did with him....

So.

[st_Trav_ofWA]

Plugger same could be said about Tarrant ... Was only ever going to be a forward ... Until suddenly he was a defender ... Not saying it will happen but it can happen

[st_Trav_ofWA]

Heard one that we are looking at Greg Broughton from Freo .. Rumour I hear is two Vic clubs are into him one being the saints
