What's happening with Robbo?

I was just watching 20-1 and Robbo was on commentating on something or other. The description for him was "Russell Robertson - former AFL player".

Have I been asleep and missed something?

    Robbo is still listed. He's commenced pre-season with the club on a modified program, as he continues his rehab from his achillies injury.

    Did you tape it or something? Wasn't that on the other night?

    Upbeat report on him at AFL.COM.AU here.

    He was all over a bus I walked past today, in an ad for Jeff Banks...

    I have 2 wishes concerning Robbo

    1. he makes a full recovery and hasnt lost his spring

    2. he places more emphasis to team football instead of winning the mark of the year competition

    something i think Juice can also think about

    20-1 has been on weekly of late. Robbo was on....again. Robbo looks as though he's now a regular celebrity commentator on the 20-1 countdown series.

    The need for point 2 cancels out the risk somewhat of point 1.

    Robbo has to play smarter to survive in AFL. Lack of team orientation and absence of 2nd efforts will cruel any other benefits he brings to the side.

    Hopefully his time on the sidelines will knock some sense into him.

    I had understood that given his injury that he may not be ready for AFL until sometime towards the mid 2009. Any updates?

    From Ology thread.

    3. He never picks up a guitar or sings again

    Very candid Q&A with Robbo has gone up on the MFC website.

    Interesting that he's basically acknowledging that he and McDonald are almost done for.

    Must be a very odd time for those guys, knowing that they are unlikely to play finals again, and that they aren't really part of the long term 'grand plan' to bring us to the top of the ladder again.

    I think we'll see Robbo come back with a bit of intensity, and given the emptiness of our forward line at present, he'd be a handy player to have back.

    If they're decent leaders, I'd wager they would see themselves as a pretty crucial part to our return to the top of the ladder, despite the fact they won't be playing anymore

    Yes, I agree with this. More so Junior than Robbo for me. But I agree nevertheless.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
