I think if in the scheme of life that playing football seems so unimportant, perhaps being paid well to play football is also unimportant and the money can be returned to the salary cap to in some way compensate the club for wasting draft picks on frequently injured and unproductive players.
Perhaps the Toerag is not a troll. Maybe he's just one of those endless whackers who hate dark skinned people. Possibly it is just nasty racial crap. Let's give him time to explain himself..............................
Yep, nasty piece of s*** - it will come back to haunt him.
On Raph - undersold, will get better, good kid, fine fella, been badly dealt with, and I reckon it's fine that Ross has dealt with it as he has.
Truth? I actually stopped going to games after the Doggies game because of an individual who stood in front of me and spent his entire night potting Raph as a "weak black c---?".
Well. what's a man to do?

Good luck to Raph , have always thought he is hard done by on this forum, hope he goes on to show his full potential, and its pleasing the here the clubs response.........
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"
No matter what I think of Raph on the field, I hope he is ok off the field. His father's diagnosis and his own must be rather hard on him (and X) so I wish him all the best for his own recovery, and with dealing with the loss of his father that will come soon.
I have first hand experience in dealing with epilepsy - Raph will be fine as long as he keeps up with his medication. In fact with the support of the club and its medico's he is probably luckier than most sufferers. Keep persisting Raph you have the support and compassion of a lot of Saints supporters, your best is yet to come.

well...calling security and having the racist prick kicked out of the ground would have been a good start...that's what i have done in similar circumstances......

You ask where the Raph bashers are? Well i stood up and said my opinion on Raph and his endless potential that comes to nothing and it was suggested that I am a racist? Show me where in the post i said anything racial.
Also while you are pointing that out, show me the good games that Raph has played in the YEARS that he has been at St.Kilda. Imagine a team of Raphs all potential and zero performance. Imagine every kick that goes forward going to the other team, every punch which should have been an uncontested mark.
I'm sorry for his situation, as I said in my post, but come on, how much credit are you going to give the guy for the actual output he has provided for the club? How low are your expectations for this guy that he can survive on how good he was supposed to be?
I would remind you that this is a football forum, not a hallmark card
