Raph

Post: # 773778Post Shrappy »

I am sick and tired of reading people stick up for Raph on this website week in and week out, He is a Spud and his 1st half today has bordered on Pathetic... No doubt he will cost us a game one day soon, lets hope it is not a Final. Get rid of him...!!!!!

He hasnt played well - but what really gets me is how so many others seem to be protected.

Most of the boys are playing shockers atm.

Why don't you put your hand up to play for the saints then if you're so good.

He may have played badly today but the whole f****** team is. None of our forwards can kick straight and they are all makng some pretty bad errors.

To single out one player isn't fair - oh but of course it's Rapoh so that's different.

Go fcuk yourself d1ckwad.

How many games have you played you gutless coward?

Clarke has been awful in this game and will be dropped next week unless he has a blinder in the 2nd half - but to personally insult him the way you are doing is disgraceful.

So piss off and die you pathetic piece of s.hite.


Lance or James??

Raph is having an absolute nightmare, even by his standards..

I thought Healy summed it up well in saying we all know his upside, but to keep your spot in this team you need to be playing much better.

Let's hope he puts in a better second half. I'm sure he will.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Even still Ev, it disapoints me how St Kilda "supporters" CONSISTENTLY lambast the same players. Fair enough it they deserve it, but for instance after last week, when he didn't play that badly, it just pisses me off.

And its so freaking easy to come onto an internet forum and sink the boot into players when we're proabab;y all sitting at home watching on tele.

The best i can say about Raph is that he is like a bag of licorice allsorts. Even when at his best .... He isn't that good. :wink:

I don't like to bag our players, but he is not the best atm.

from what i've seen he's been solid for about 3 mistakes.

now take into account there has been NO run, NO support from the midfield, they have been running with heavy legs when they do run and the weanies know this and are playing wide to expose us, and YET, and YET we have had 23 scoring shots to 12, and are 36 points in front, after an air trip twice as far as the cats had to endure.

seriously if you were told st kilda would have a s*** game and win by 4 or 5 goals you'd take it.

I would agree with that. His second half was pretty solid, no mistakes I saw some nice passes and a few touches.

Disclaimer: I haven't watched the game (am following it online)

Why are people bagging his first half - he scored 64SC points by half time

He finished with 22 possies at 82% efficiency with ONE clanger.

He scored 99SC points - which is usually classified as a very good game.

WHAT AM I MISSING?

Shocking first half but a much improved second half.

Was actually very good in the final quarter.

Because he's the whipping boy and everyone jumps on him if he makes one mistake, and forget the rest eventhou every player makes several mistakes in every game.

IMO he had a really good first 10 minutes, then he was really ordinary for the rest of the first half.

Eased into it for the second half and played an acceptable game.

Just a pass from me, 5/10


Don't think he can hold his spot.
