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.

    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!

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
