What's happening with Robbo?

[Suzanna 72]

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.

Saw him on a team outside Uni today. Guess MFC don't pay enough

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?

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.
