I mentioned this in another thread, but I feel it warrants it's own.

How pathetic was it that the channel ten commentary team didn't know that Robbo had moved up to third on our all time goal kicking list? When he kicked his fourth yesterday and celebrated equaling Lyon, the only remark was to wonder why he was celebrating so much. When he kicked his fifth and players ran over to congratulate him there was nothing. I simply can't understand how supposed professionals could come to a game and be entirely ignorant of a milestone like that.

Couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunatly I'd say it's because it's a Melbourne player. Bet you if Didak kicked a goal that levelled him with Daicos on Collingwood's goal kicking list there would be a half time special about it and a count down for each goal he kicked leading up. A brilliant effort by Robbo and an achievment that wasn't lost on me.

You have probably summed it up correctly.

SEN commentary team was all over it. Probably because Brayshaw was taking delight in the fact that Robbo and Lyon are tied on games but Robbo now has more goals.

Which really goes to show how underrated Robbo is.

On MMM Robbo does special comments on Saturday night and said he was going to attemp to take mark of the year and told all Melbourne fans to come along just for that.

It'd be a great way to go out.

Agreed.

Hopefully he pulls a massive one and leaves on a high, literally.

And if Wheels plays, I hope he lays a few big bumps and tackles, and that Wheatley kicks a long goal.

They all deserve to do what they enjoy doing best in their last game (possibly).

You mean MMM team?

Was pretty funny. I thought Brayshaw wasn't being disrespectful, just having some fun. Loved that Gaddy stuck up for Robbo though.

Was great that Robbo got to move to 3rd all time MFC goal kicker on Saturday as now absolutely no pressure in the final game on Sunday! DB MUST give him full licence to go for a final specky!!! Would be great for the whole team!

Congrats Robbo on a great achievement! Not at all to shabby considering the calibre and standing of the two blokes ahead of him. Neita we all remember and the Red Fox apparently knew a bit a bout footy too!! B)

We are looking forward to cheering Robbo and Wheels on Sunday one more time at the G!!

And this probably sums up why we aren't keeping him on and why its unlikely he'll be picked up by another AFL club.

Even dimwit Fev will tell you that his aim these days is to go out there and chase & lay tackles and the rest will take care of itself.

It a shame Robbo has chosen not to adapt to the modern game.

They have to pick Wheels for the game, even if he's too unfit to do anything except spend the whole game on the pine.

When Davey wins his Brownlow & Jurrah the Norm Smith, Wheels' value to the club will be fully appreciated by everybody, not just Dees supporters.

Rubbish. It would only be great for Robbo. Enough said.

PS. torpedo is right.

When asked about his biggest regret in footy he said something along the lines of not getting mark of the year. Now a speccie for his last game...

I would have thought the answer to the first one would be not delivering a premiership to the Melbourne faithfull. Only letting him off speccie comment as we dont want the win.

But gee, it says it all.

It says nothing.

If you saw the press conference you would know that Robbo's tongue was firmly in his cheek with the MOTY comment.

And it's 'faithful', but maybe your subconscience knew what you were writing was 'full' of something.

I saw the press con. Believe what you want.

That's fine by me.

I will believe that the stirring speech Robbo made last week, announcing he and the Dees were parting ways, was the naked truth.

And that truth that he talked about was the unsuccessful pursuit of a flag and the desire to win games of football for the MFC.

But you can believe he cared more about taking flashy marks and getting the spotlight because of a joke at his press conference if you want to.

    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

    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.

    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.
