Plenty have this guy on their hit list, but today showed what the guy can do when he's fit.

Yes he was improved in terms of some of decision making, and he's always been able to take a grab but some of his disposal (like a fair few others today) was severely lacking.

I'm guessing "The Dud" will need a new avatar.

Great to see Raph have a positive influence today. I'd have to say he's been one of my whipping boys. His athleticism is exciting when it works. I only remember one clear turnover from Raph today and nearly everyone one the team would have had one of those. Congrads X too on a gutsy performance today.

he is a good player, but needs to double check he is kicking the ball to the guys with red, white and black on their jumper!

Evolve.

Any criticism of anyone in the afl can always be answered with that uneducated comment "he has more than you"

I don't give a flying f***.

The fact is R.Clark is s*** at AFL and will disgrace himself in the future.

He s.hits on you as a footballer. Yours isn't critisism, it is just typical uninformed idiocy, safely anonimous behind your keyboard.

s***s on you as a footballer and as a person, you gutless turd.

Just needs to work on his execution.

If he can, he looms as a massive asset for us over the next month and a half.

Remember, he's already proven himself at this level - his second half of 2005 was excellent. Xavier was also terrific that year.

I hope they both can build on today, they just add so much to our side when they're playing well. X must remember how to shoot for goal, though.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

No-one with half a brain would suggest Raphael, X, Fraser cannot play footy.......they are VG at their best......all of them.....but it doesn't appear whether they are giving 100% effort 100% of the time - which frustrates...at times all three can look woeful......other times like today (which can frustrate more) it would be easier to understand if they were duds....
