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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
