How many farking threads do we have to have on Raph?

Has been shocking - but so has about 15 of them.


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>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I was first with this one and I think a thread a week till he is dropped should suffice.

The kid is having a go but so are the rest, it's not about having a go It's about being good enough to be a part of our best side, he clearly isn't.
If he can't cut the mustard then..that's that.
We can sympathise with the kid if we want but what about us? the supporters?

I didn't.

on a side note.

There seems to be a fair bit of posters bagging each other when a poster criticizes a player, why is that ?
I often commend players on a good game so why would it be wrong for me to do the opposite?

The whole side was flat as Joey pointed out ( he certainly wasn't) Farren Rey, Gardi , Joey , Milney , Dal good efforts kept us in it.

Must be a rethink on Raph for the next game against the Crows.

Pretty good in the second half.....two errors. His opponents however, continue to kick goals....

Lecras, Embley and Cockie all scored on him...

Raph's first half was as bad as I've seen from a St.Kilda player in a long time. He was on -30 supercoach points at haltime.

His second half seemed like he was told exactly that at half time. Very good endevour, had 9 contested possies and scored 129 supercoach points.

However, the errors in the first half were inexcusable. Surely Schneider will return at his expense, Eddy should keep his spot.

He was on 64 at half time according to the herald sun blog

Thought Raph was Ok again, there were many other players who made bad decision and skill errors.

It is real easy for a lot of people to find fault with his game, but he still did a lot of good things under pressure and found targets with his possessions.

It is said if you accentuate the negative, that's all you will see, but if you find the positives, you tend to see more than you would normally notice.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

I think it was only his 47th AFL game, and we know what he is capable of when he puts it together.... I thought he was ok today.

Pursuing with him is obviously a luxury the selection panel think we can afford, 15 -zip would seem to vindicate that view.

Go Raph!... Go Saints!

Raph & Eddy would not have been flat after last week me thinks. in fact they should both be full of running/optimism on todays ground & looking to impress, pretty hard to get a gig in the team at the moment so if an opportunity presents (congrats schneids) gotta make it hard to be dropped....i dont believe Raph made his case today over 4 qtrs.
