Raph Clarke

Post: # 559478Post The Fireman »

As a member do I have any grounds to sue the club if Raph Clarke is selected in the team ever again? I mean , when can the selection committee show some nous , how stupid are they? Has not proven in the past to be of any value to the side and tonight he has proven to be a negative influence, in other words we are now 2 players short.
I am open for any discussion on the matter, make it good.

PS[ and don't give me that "I'm sick of the negative posts" crap.

Apparently he has this uncanny ability.....that no one has seen yet but expect the usual do gooders post game.

Thats aside to me he looked more dangerous up forward...give him a shot FFS.

He has to go he has been given too many chances and each time he cann't deliver, he hasn't got what it takes to play at this level

Did you see his insipid effort to contest or spoil when Moore took that mark and fortunately for us hit the post? Soft all the way through.

Don't know why people expect good results from crap players.

Its like expecting a second hand commodore to drive like an Audi.

He seemed to have the ball in contested situations, in the forward 50- led the saints for outside 50's with 5

he did make some mistakes but of his 19 possessions none were easy

He had many great possessions and disposals to the advantage of his teammates. Why do you lot only see the negatives?

Raph reminds me of Craig Davenport
Can do some great stuff but can make the easy ball look hard

Raph wasn't bad tonight. Made a few mistakes but got plenty of the footy and generally used it very well. Was one of the few saints who could take clean possession in a contested situation.

Will definitely hold his spot.

Fireman, watch the game again and then make your wild accusations.

Who would you rather see in Raph's position?

I must be blind as I could swear I didn't see him win one contested ball tonight. Not to again mention his pathetic effort on Moore when he marked in front of goals in the dying stages of the game. Backline will never hold up against quality sides with this bloke in the team.

I agree wholeheartedly. Was good in the first made some bad mistakes in the second, but played really well in the second half.

As someone said none of his posessions were easy and considerig he caie in as a late replacement for Max did a pretty good job.

However doesn't matter what Raph does the usual suspects will pot him.

Pretty piss weak after such a mertitorious win.


Lance or James??

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>.
