Robbo

[Dannyz 2,759]

Oh dear. He was embarrassingly deplorable in 2008 and was dropped. He was finished in 2007. And you dont see it?

Early in 2008, I thought White was still playing good footy. Obviously not as good as previous years.

[Yze_Magic 3]

A new contract for Robbo?

LOL

He will be a depth player at best in 2010 if he is around.

The forward line will belong to Watts, Jurrah, Martin, Sylvia, Bate etc etc

Even Garland may find himself down there upon his return.

Translation - Robbo is finished.

.... and for what to keep a performing clown on the ground.

Rhino, I take issue with that description of Robertson, particularly from someone who has followed the MFC as long as your username suggests you have. You're not a 14 year old kid. No matter what you or anyone else thinks of Robertson, his form or his future, his contribution to the MFC entitles him to more respect than you show him with that description.

Just a couple of things you might have missed. Over 200 games. Over 400 goals. A B&F.

I hope you ignored the request to wear your Melbourne jumper last Saturday because you would [censored] disgrace it.

Rhino generally uses a direct, proportional rule when debating/making/refuting a point.

In that context I agree with his comment.

If Robbo gets a new contract - it will be the recording one, with a view to selling a few hundred CD's at Crazy Clints.

Too many player blurter kissers think this show pony can actualy play - I pity you.

Robbo thanks, now go away. We should have sold you to whitten oval whilst you were worth more than a T bone steak.

Disgraceful post.

Yep, Robbo's not what he once was, and his time at the club is in its final stages.

But he has been a good performer for the club over the years, hardly deserves to be told 'Thanks, now go away'

Its people like Robbo who made me support the club.

Why are you gracing Strawberry Fields?

Not pissing off enough people over at D'Ology?

Your whole existence is sh!t-stirring - now that's pitiful.

He's suspended. He's also entitled to an opinion.

Back to the thread.

I wonder with Hall gone. O'Loughlin gone. O'Keefe wanting out. Would Robbo be on Swans shopping list?

It's not as silly as it might seem to some. Sydney seem to be in a diabolical position. Sydney would definitely be on the lookout for forwards, preferably forwards with experience. They could even be looking at Newton who's not getting a game.

They'd definitely have plenty of room under salary cap to entice someone. Hell, even Fevola! Come to think of it - he would be ideal replacement for Sydney. Maybe a Fevola - Robbo combo!

Medium size forwards that are able to average around 50 goals a year for several seasons are as scarce as hens teeth. Show more respect!

[Akum 2,660]

If Robbo goes, who takes the No1 defender?

[Dannyz 2,759]

Martin or Miller.

Yeah - Stakhat put me in for a red card the weak dog. Not so bad over here. Only one player groupie so far.........

It depends on how deep we go into the shallow 2009 draft. It isn't opinion, it's fact backed up by Prendergast, the eligibility changes have meant that BP is picking from kids born in an 8 month block and not the full year.

So if we go Picks 1, 2, 19, 35, 51 and PSD1, that is 6 places.

And 6 deletions. Wheatley, Whelan, Junior, Robertson, Bell, and Dunn would be my 'most vulnerable' at this stage. But I really don't think, unless we are trading, that getting rid of 8 or 9 this year is good for the health of the list.

Don't delete for the sake of deleting.

Good post, no point is delisting 8+ players unless you're confident you can replace them with quality. It's a shallow draft so any late picks are a risk.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Possible 2010 Forwards

HF - Bate Garland Davey

F - Woneamirri Watts Jurrah

Other key players that will spend time there

Sylvia

Martin

Morton

Notice somethng about all these guys. They are young.

Robbo has no future after this season.

And if you think the backline cant afford to lose Garland and Martin, well think again

B - Bennell Frawley Warnock

HB - Grimes Rivers Green

other players that will spend time there

Cheney

Martin

Garland

Morton

I am teling you things are coming together nicely. Just wait til the midfield gets going.

I think they'd be interested in hard working types like Miller, & Fevola's talent, but they don't like dik heads.

[H_T 3,047]

Correct Y_M. The backline has taken shape or is taking shape with many applying for positions and both Martin and Garland are options for up forward. Need more games into the youth and quality mids.

You've left out Jetta and Maric who are young and are also forward options.

Yup.

I didnt mention Tom McNamara either, I think he has a future and could also play either end.

Bailey has found some versatile kids.
