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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
