Just heard that Robbo might be a late in, named as an emerg. Got some pretty good mail.

    That's Great even if he only played 5-10 mins each Quarter.

    2-3 Goals from Robbo might Spark the rest of the forward line..Crumbing is vital on a wet day.

    I wouldn't read too much into it... I doubt they wanted a ruckman who can't play any other position as one of the listed emergencies, if one of our KPP doesn't come up, Spencer isn't really bringing alot to the table... Hence they name Robbo...

    Can't honestly see Robbo pulling the boots on for us this week....

    Next week is a sure thing.... Maric is a better choice for this week....

    Maric to kick 4 in 60% game time....

    Checked AFL website, Robbo Maric and Cheney are the emergencies this week.

    I hope Robbo plays. His addition to the emergency list is obviously a suspicious one, so I hope he comes in. There is nothing better than seeing Robbo play.

    Bails mentioned to was very tempting to include him but should be even more ready against the Cats.

    Can`t wait for Robbo to come back. Hope he doesn`t break down again.

    I kinda hope he doesn't play. I think we should be going with the kids. While Robbo's been a handy forward he lacks in ability to apply defensive pressure. Seems to spend a lot of time falling down. At his age he won't figure in our next finals tilt. Retire him with dignity at years end.

    Weather won't suit his comeback this week.

    Keep him for another day.

    Personally, I'm fascinated by what might happen next with Robbo.

    I've had the pleasure of watching him closely at training a couple of times, and based on that (obviously inconclusive but very tantalising) evidence I have a couple of thoughts -

    Firstly, his body shape is definately considerably changed, and the talk of his skin folds being at their lowest ever is more than credible.

    He was faster than I expected.

    He can definately still leap.

    He has an expression, a demeanor that I haven't seen before. And I wouldn't comment except it was so consistent each time I was observing him.

    I reckon he didn't like the '2008 Robbo', and has a real craving for match-winning, finals-delivering, Princes Park farewell ruining 'Robbo 05'.

    I reckon he'll be looking to turn a few matches yet.

    Robbo selected this week.

    My son watched Casey v Dolphins last week. Said Robbo still has defensive deficiences.

    Robbo was brilliant at contested pack marks. Once ball hit the ground, Robbo stagnant. Game does not allow for this these days.

    If we are working on this theory we can leave out Bate & Newton aswell. Robbo will bring others into the game aswell as freeing up others to play in more preferred positions.

    I'm rapt to see Robbo back.................he's a club legend, provides a spark and excitement when he plays, and has fought back from a damn serious injury that could have ended his career.

    Good luck Robbo...........footy's a much better game to watch with players like you back on the park!

    Who cares. I'm glad he's replacing that joke of a footballer who can't kick goals from 5 mtrs out.

    Should've played seniors last week IMO.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
