Robbo on Fox Sports News shortly

Featured Replies

Robbo will be on Fox Sports News in the next half hour.

Will write a review after he's been on.

Was asked if he would be back this week. Said he's been 'doing his bit' down at Casey and that he is 'loving his football again.' Said the conditions down at Frankston on the weekend were the worst conditions he's ever played in.

Was asked if he's felt any limitations physically coming back off the injury. Said he 'feels it' during warmups but as soon as the ball is bounced it goes away. Said he hasn't had any problems leading 'back and forwarth, back and forwarth' working hard to escape defenders, or 'dancing' as he says Bails calls it.

Was asked if he had noticed any changes in the game since doing his injury. Said he's been watching alot of football and observing other forwards and how they play. Said some players are finding it hard to adjust to new rules changes. Said he doesn't like the focus on running into the umpire. Said all players are trying to do is get the ball or beat their man and once in while in the 'hustle and bustle' players and umpires might collide and that it was wrong that a player should be fined or suspended for something that is essentially an accident. Didn't mention Rivers' fine.

Was asked about the Cats and in particular Ablett Jnr and how the club would go about stopping him. Said what makes him so damaging is not only the number of disposals he collects but also his ability to go forward and kick goals. Said Bartram would mostly likely be given the task and tagging him. Said Clint's dad's funeral was today and that his 'mantra' was 'go hard or go home' and that is how Clint goes about his football.

Was asked about umpires being critiqued in the media by club officials, such as Kennett. Said he felt umpires should be protected so kids would be interested in becoming umpires.

Was asked about Michael O'Laughlin's return for the Swans. Said it was great for him to be back and that the Swans need another forward target.

Was asked about Dick Pratt's death and how much of a motivation it will be for the Blues in the remainder of the season. Said it was a similar situation following Troy Broadbridge's death. Said it was a year long motivating force but that it was hard to think about week in week out.

That is all.

Thanks for that Ghost

 
.....

That is all.

Well done Ghost. Well summarised. I watched it, he seems pretty positive about this week, without giving too much away.

I am without foxtel so that was great. Thanks Ghost, well summarised and well written. Can't wait to see Robbo back on the G for us.


Thanks Ghost! I dont have Foxtel either so it was great to read such a detailed report.

Thanks for that Ghost. Lets hope Robbo can have a positive first game back and kick at least 3 goals. Set his season up to hopefully kick about 50!

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
