Rivers and Robbo

[G'borough Demon 0]

I personally am greatfull to have witnessed the career of robbo.

Excitement and passion that he brings to this club. The bloke his dedacated and does put his all into the club.

His second efforts and chasing may be a bit of a let down, purely due to his lack of chasing speed.

Rhino what did robbo do to you thats made you so biased towards him?? :D

Well done robbo to a great career and i acknowledge the work youve done considering what you have to worl with lately!

Well said!

I like Robbo for his excitement and would pay every week to see him take some of the marks he has. Agreed some of his second efforts have not always been there but he has just come back from a serious injury. I would rather see Robbo use his energy to make 3 or 4 consecutive leads as a target in the forward 50 than wear himself out chasing shadows. It never has been part of his game and never will be, you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

As for celebrating goals, what is wrong with that??? It's the first time for ages that I have seen the players actually look like they enjoyed playing for each other. I think this was evident in the whole team not just Robbo.

Fair enough, but you must admit he plays it up alot more than his teammates.

Yeah, he is a showman. I don't know if you made it to the Geelong game? When he kicked his 400 there was not much of a celebration then. This was a classic sign that the team was not fully functional and there was no enjoyment in their game. It's hard to bring back that passion when things are hard going but I think a good goal celebration helps. I think it gets the crowd going as well

Yes. I was at the Geelong game. Not much of a celebration kicking his 400th? Give me a spell. What about his first, which was his 399th? Even worse. Admittedly it was his first game back since the St.Kilda game, 2008. Probably just excited. But he was all for himself.

PS. Pretty sure there was a thread back then, it's well documented. Browse.
