Disrespect for Robbo

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.

    It was Commentated by Andy (imbecile) Maher & Tim Lane. What do you expect!

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
