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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
