Robbo being interviewed on Fox Sports News

[Freddy Fuschia 730]

As with most news media, the focus at the start was Collingwood and MM.

Mentioned our QB disaster was 5th highest rating on TV and we should keep this fixture.

Good interview.

Just confirmed that LJ will play on Friday night!!!

[Gorgoroth 12,921]

Interesting, I wonder if he was meant to let that out or not.

Interesting, I wonder if he was meant to let that out or not.

It's been all over the net in the past 24 hours so I think it's a badly kept secret at best. Robbo indicated that LJ was a bit of freakish and that he was looking forward to see what he could do. I suspect that he'll "outRobbo" Robbo!

He also said that the team had a short break and appreciated it. They also got involved in some bonding type activities. They had a bit of fun with hypnotherapy. Aussie went under and thought he was a soldier.

Robbo said the club was disappointed with the QB game which put the club into a spotlight because "we were so insipid" but it was unfair how some people said it should be taken away. It was one really poor performance after several improved efforts and people give us a break.

He admitted that only 1 win was not what the team had hoped for and it was necessary for the whole group to start believing in itself.

Dean Bailey is still very upbeat. He understands he has a young team but also that we need to win games. We have standards but we let things slip and we'll be out to make amends. On Friday need to set the standards at the start. We need to be switched on right from the beginning and we have a chance to win. At this point he let out the news about Liam Jurrah.

did he make any arrogant comments like he did before the collingwood game? i remember reading 'i was only dropped for one week because i am a required senior player' and 'it wasn't a big issue, just a couple of little things to work on, i did my week so i'll be back now no worries'.

i lost a lot of respect for him when i read that...

[Carn dees 108]

If any one views Robbo as arrogant shows how much they truly no about him.

Awesome that dinner plate hands is playing and ill defo be there very excited to see what he can do i just recon he has the capability to turn it on at afl level, with the crowed and all go dees make this one more win!

Ok, maybe not arrogant, but comments like that are misguided and delusional, if he in fact made them.

Comments like that would indicate a misunderstanding of why he was dropped & what was required of him in the future.

It would also indicate his opinion of self-importance to the team is wide of the mark.

That's my interpretation anyway.

Yer i see the way deanox wrote it and if it was word for word which i dont no and i were to read it and have no knowledge on robbo i probably would think it could be a bit arrogant. But ive watched robbo his whole career and no him for better and to me he is definitely not an arrogant person.

[Carn dees 108]

anyways back to the fact of L.J getting his shot how exciting does the forward line look.

Sylvia Watts Bate

Maric Robbo Jurrah

Slowly filling in the gaps (hopefully).

[deanox 9,897]

carn dees, dont get me wrong, he has my full support when he is out there, and i think he is a pretty good player, who has been forced to play out of position most of his career, and i think if playing alongside 2 talls would have kicked even more goals and been even more appreciated. i know he bleeds for the club, he is definitely a true demon, however when i saw this interview i really sat back and thought 'wait a sec, thats not right'. he should have been saying 'yeah i stuffed up last week didnt i? but i went back to casey and worked really hard, hopefully it was enough to get me a game this week. sub-par performances like that aren't tolerated.' for a senior player he said the wrong things.

that being said, i cant find anything in an article, so it must have been footage i saw. and perhaps i have taken it out of context slightly, or blown it up worse than it was, but that what and how i remembered hearing it.

if anyone else saw the interview and know how to get it, can they post a link please?

[Doggo 32]

That really is big news... Go LJ!

I wonder if Robbo might be a bit worried, Jurrah might just usurp him in the next few weeks!

I read that stuff and thought it was just someone trying to save some self-esteem.

Might seem arrogant but I think he needs a lot of positive reinforcement to be confident in himself.

I have always thought the Robbo despite best intentions and his love of a microphone comes across as naive and inept in handling issues regarding selection and team issues. I have heard him interviewed a number of times and his answers and views have sometimes left interviewers short of words and quizzical on his responses. I am sure he speaks what he believes is true. However its a concerning view at times and evidences why he is not more a leader at the Club.

I think you just described 90% of professional athletes...

I'm in the same boat on this one.

I think he just doesn't quite get it, but he gets it enough to be a good player at times...

In another life he could've been another Colin Sylvia (before the improvement this season)

As bad as the team is going at the moment, how exciting are the next 11 weeks going to be watching our future running around. Watts, Jurrah, Cheney, Bennell, Jetta, Martin
