Oops and who would have thought it possible.....

I'd run away from that post as well. Seems a theme running there. :P

There is a big difference between saying that someone should retire and has deficiencies to his game, and calling someone delusional.

But because personal abuse and offensive comments have become so ingrained in your posts, you obviously fail to recognise that.

I know for a fact that Robbo recognises that his chances of going elsewhere are slim, but he is still fit and passionate about the game and wants a crack at a premiership. That is his right and does not make him in the least bit delusional.

Is Wheatley delusional for saying that he'll happily play elsewhere if offered the chance?

HaHa! Not much gets through to the keeper with you does it Rhino!! Bloody Classic mate!!

I think age is perfect considering their window and how he is likely to perform.

It's not age and window... it's the Cat's list. When they begin their decline, which could be as soon as next year, they will rue picking up players with only a couple of years left. Just because you're in a premiership window doesn't mean you can't keep blooding younger guys. Think Pickett for us. If it fails, it REALLY fails. But hey... for the right price, ie a 6th rounder or something nominal. I have a feeling Thompson wouldn't want to have to coach through a tank like DB has.

I know Paul Roos has said Sydney is going youth, but with Mickey O retiring, Barry Hall gone and a developing forward line, would he suit their structure? Would Paul Roos consider bringing another 'experience head' to the harbour town?

Plausible.

He might, but there again, he's only got a couple of years left to run before he "retires." Would he want to make it harder for his heir by recruiting a good (but not star) forward, thereby taking away a kid's spot on the list, AND probably weakening their next few drafts by having a slightly improved finishing spot on the ladder? I think the Swans are a year away from an MFC-like freefall anyway.

I just HATE the idea of Robbo playing in another Jumper.

If he was traded to another club (besides the Pies) and played in a grand final, I would barrack for that club, and hope he kicks 6 and gets a Norm Smith. I wouldn't do it for many other players, but I'd be thrilled for him. Like many of the great 10 or so of our club in the last decade, he deserves a flag for his effort. Just like Whelan, Neitz, JMac.

Excuse me how is stating an opinion that a person's belief in getting draft is "delusional" personal abuse or offensive? Its neither. This is the second time in this thread you have made a personal attack on me rather than deal with the debate.

Firstly you tried to backhand me for being hypocritical in saying Robbo can put his hand up. Secondly when your recent opinions on Robbo's are not different to mine, I am personally abusive and offensive.For someone who has made a point of claim to some level of inside access to Robbo, I cant see how your quoted comments that he should retire 4 weeks ago is any less abusive or offensive. In fact my quoted section on you Jaded highlights a galling double standard once again.

And as always when cornered in the debate you play the person and cry foul.

Frankly I would feel a sense of betrayal if I played AFL and some "supportive insider" was to use comments that I had not made public "I know for a fact that Robbo recognises that his chances of going elsewhere are slim" for her own self promotion on a public forum. But thats a case of good judgement and we know how we are going there dont we?

BTW, tasteful signature line. Hope you enjoy it. ;)

P.S. Delusional - a false belief or opinion. (Dictionary.com)

It's no supportive insider. Robertson made it pretty clear in his interview with Mark Doran that he knows his chances are slim.

Thanks Dog. I did not hear that interview and I withdraw the specific example I used.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
