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.

    CARN DEES

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
