Rivers and Robbo

July 6, 200916 yr

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.

A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

CASEY: Williamstown

The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
