Last Year for Raph Clarke?

[golden state]

I think St Kilda have given far to many opportunities for Raph over he's quite dissapointing career!
The reason he is playing is that St Kilda havnt got much depth if the good players get injures!
Agree or Disagree??

I don't think it's the last year for Raph.

He's a BAOP (below average ordinary player)... every team has one of those. He's just an inferior or equal version of Kris Massie.

He positions himself well around contests these days to receive the ball, but that's about it. His decision making is shocking, but as of now, there are a lot more players that are likely to get the boot at the end of year, than Raph.

It was interesting watching the Scorpions game on the weekend ( on TV, there is no way I was going out in that). There was really only Jones who can fill the kind of roles Raph takes. But ahead of both of those I would prefer , Baker, X, Attard, or Gilbert.
Depending how Steven and Miles progress, you could argue the case for dropping Raph.

Hard decisions will need to made!

If we can attract a reasonable draft selection or trade for Raph he should go!
I think the club should also seriously look to see what KOSI would also bring on the trade market.
Leigh FISHER is another - simply too slow and cumbersome. It has to be FIONA's last year also for obvious reasons...

It's time to rebuild and guys who have not delivered on their potential should be moved on. It is ruthless I know, but I think we have to be!

Raph would be worth nothing. 3rd round draft pick. Not that flashy. Was very quiet on Friday night.

Considering we got King and C Gardiner for Free, it's really hard to see much value in Clarke.

He is one of the worst players i have ever seen play league footy
Slow, dumb and bad skills! for a number 7 draft pick you gotta admit he has done nothing for your club!
Worst 5 players playing league footy!

2-Zac Dawson
3-Kepler Bradley
4-Courtney Johns
5- Setana Ohalphin

I'm hoping that last week was his last game ever with St Kilda

Zac is worse than Raph. Not by much though.

Cain Ackland says hi.

His name is Hackland! I swear I started a Raph Clarke thread on here already, did it get deleted? If only it were that easy to delete the real Raph Clarke.

unfortunately has another year on his contract to go.

would have to be traded.

Unfortunately on the trade table he's not worth Quentin Lynch's glove.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I hope they are paying him on a performance based system.
I don't care if he is still on the list as long as he insn't played.

Maybe we could do a multiple trade for some club struggling for senior players like essendon or melbourne , we could trade Rix, Fiora, and Raph for an average rookie.

 

[Squizz]

All fine to say this, but who are we going to play as the tall defender if Max or Sam F go down with injury before Gilbo and Goose return?

Gwilt hasn't got the speed or quick decision making needed to have an ongoing role, and I don't get any interest when I suggest Rix as a defender (Casey are playing him at FF anyway when not in the ruck).

Miles looked interesting, but is not that tall and is currently injured.

Blake was good against Collingwood but is one of the supporter's whipping boys.

If you've got the cat-o-nine-tails out to thrash the hell out of someone, try to put the solution forward.

Ferguson or Allen
