We interviewed Robinson last year. I wonder what roosy really thinks him. I like his aggression but I have heaps of first hand knowledge of him. He really is not very smart, and I'm being kind in saying that. We really need more aggression. I really liked the way hawthorn turned it around years ago with just aggression. They had guys rubbed out a bit but so what.

Not sure I'd take any of them. Garlett has really struggled without Betts to take the defensive attention and Robinson is a massive [censored]. I was however wondering about Dennis Armfield. He has decent skills and pace, wouldn't cost us much but would be an improvement to our midfield/HB area. He's by no means a great player, but as I say he could be going cheap and is better than some we have playing.

Questions you should ask when evaluating any player that we will look to trade in.

Can they play midfield?

Do they run both ways?

Can they execute decision making and skills?

If your answer to any of these questions is no strike them off your list.

We all know of their deficiencies (especially Robinson who I can't stand personally and is a DH) but let's see what Roosy does. If he could get them playing disciplined football at their best, they would definitely improve our list.

Casboult yes...these ...probably no but Garlett if all but free

Robinson can now enjoy his bruise-free life !!!

Problem with Garlett is that he is purely an "outside" player and we have way too many of them. Robinson is hard at the ball but like most of our players lacks ability to hit targets.

Do you have inside sources??

Lets take em both, may as well make Robinson Captain, draft Bootsma with pick 2 and pickup Jake King as Roos successor while in the process.

I would take Garlett if we dont have to pay much.

He was playing well under Ratten. If he can get back to that form then he would easily be best 22.

We had a few players who went downhill as soon as Neeld came in with his Mick Malthouse philosophies.

They left and are now playing well with other teams.

If we take him and he doesnt come on then we have invested little.

Can we please not take every single bit of everyone else's trash.

Roosy will be looking at both very closely

Nutjob Robinson belted Rohan Bail off the ball several years ago! and copped weeks for it! On that basis there might well be the "Flow on effect" and I believe some angst MIGHT remain!

NUP NOT WORTH THE RISK!

I'm 50/50 on Robinson. He is a clearly a DH and his off field problems are a worry... but he is a very good player when fit and firing and he would add something a little different to our list. Worth a look but if Roos is worried about his off field stuff then I'm certain we won't take him.

No to Garlett. Not what we need at all.

Garlett cant get a game and Robo is less bright than Slobbo Robbo and has as much pace. Not for mine.

We could pick up a sponsorship from the Commancheros bikie club and make Tony Mokbel the No 1 ticket holder. It wouldn't hurt us to toughen up our image for a change.

Can cope with Garlett but Robinson is a No, No No! He is the DH who attacked us for being a 'bruise free' team. This insult is not something I can forgive. I don't care how much aggro he can bring to the team he is still a NO!!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
