I geniunely thought he'd give it up and develop a media career based on music.

    I imagine so did he, until he saw the sales figures for his record...

    Very good point- also he thought he'd get picked up by another AFL team. Not a very good judge our Robbo.

    I don't know if any of you guys have heard of Saad Saad, who plays full-forward for Seymour in the GVL, but his aerial ability is on a par with Robbo's. I would pay very good money to head home (originally from Seymour) and watch those two go head-to-head. It'd be like the old days with Van der Haar and Knights.

    A quick clip of Saad in action:

    I am a goulburn valley boy, and the Shepp swans are starting to develop a very big line up of stars. The yze boys, Robbo andd Saad will mean they are going to be a pretty decent outfit. Not a great club though, drama's all over the place, hopefully they get it right, will be good for the competition.

    As reported on Robbos twitter - number 22 and 25 will most likely join him at the Swans next year. Woey and Doggie Brown!

    I thought Woe was coaching East Fremantle and still is.. I've been told Adam Yze will play with him

    Playing at a big club like Shepp (either one) ain't that bad. He'll get a nice cheque at the end of each game. It's not completely necessary to live there either. He might only go up for the matches every weekend, which is pretty normal for most big country clubs that recruit ex AFL players. Also, a lot of these clubs have people on the boards who own/run their own businesses in town, and often they can give jobs to these high profile recruits. I doubt Robbo would be in a situation like that, but I'm just trying to put into perspective that it ain't all that bad.

    Couldn't give away his CD at Casey feilds in the pre season, Probably a good move.

    Good to hear him continuing with the footy, I can emphatically say music is not his forte. Especially live music, worst national anthem I've ever heard.

    agreed, he would be worth alot of money, he wouldv made nearly 4mill in the last 10seasons, good to see a player give something back to country footy.

    If we're going to get stuck in to him for his talents, it's worth mentioning he's not without gifts as a singer (something I know a fair bit about).

    His problem is that he wants to be a rock-star first and a musician second. It's all built around being the centre of attention. When he drops the ego and comes to terms with what music is for (NOT self promotion) Aussie audiences might come to the table. eg, find REAL musicians who could use some publicity and give them a leg-up... sing THEIR music, and not "more than a game" from the footy show. Lord knows there's far, FAR more talent wandering the streets of Melbourne and Australia than audiences have room for at the moment.

    There's been a few handy singers come out of the AFL. Jacka was pretty good from memory, and Luke Brennan (pick #9ish for the Hawks a few years ago, rookied by the swans) was actually a dead-set superstar as a singer and muso.

    Dappa, please note I was not getting into him for anything.However as his football life is ending and re his success in that singing show on 7 early in 2009,I thought he may try to set up another worklife utilizing his voice and charm.

    Quote from twitter "Oh my god I'm going to just take hangs all year"

    This single quote says something fundamental about Robbo and his attitude to footy and team effort, and may point to the reason why Bailey has let him go.

    I think you are being harsh- however he will never be a Sinartra or a Connick jnr.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
