Robbo

Grand New Flag
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    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?

    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?

    swans have a track record of awesomely paying over the odds! trade for barry hall? lol

    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!

    If Robbo goes, who takes the No1 defender?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
