Carlton pair on the move?

Recommended Posts

We are screaming out for aggression and a small forward with lightning pace.

I hope Roos looks very closely at them. Rhys Shaw and Barry Hall had issues too.

For the right price it could be a great way to get 2 starting 18 players into the club.

I am sick of these nice, sociable footballers we have. Robinson, Hogan, Viney and Kent wouldn't be there to make friends and that's what I want.

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!

You mean like the time that Plugger decked a Swans player? Had a real flow on effect there didn't it.

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.

.... agreed 'Demanding Success', but we need smart aggro. not the bluntest tool going around.

no no & know.

I would consider LHenderson, JWaite, or yarran for some sorta deal.

I think Robinson would be in our best 22 pretty easily, if he wasn't a [censored] head i'd take him in a heartbeat

His reddit Q&A suggests there's a bit more to Robbo than the d-head tag he seems to have picked up.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/comments/1keqff/i_am_mitch_robinson_from_the_carlton_football

What is he actually guilty of in the end to warrant all the hatred in this thread?

Calling us bruise free? He was right, we were.

Getting into a dust up at the Big Day Out? Someone took a swing and he had the audacity of defending himself.

Looking like a d-head in photos? Okay, he's guilty of that.

The latest incident with Garlett is a poor one in terms of him not telling the club straight away, granted. He's no angel, granted. But I do think the reports on his behaviour get overblown, and in terms of ability, he'd be in our best 22. His kamikaze attack on the ball is exactly what our mob needs, among a list of other things.

I'm not strongly in favour, but I'm also not totally closed off to the idea

This thread reminds me of the Dustin Martin thread last year. Robinson is a loose cannon but would be in our best 22 easily.

It's not that he is a loose cannon, he's just not a good footballer and no he wouldn't easily be in our best 22.

We've got rid of 2 of the most brainless players in the last few years, why do we want to add more?

Robinson would have ranked top 5 at MFC for average possessions and tackles and 7th for average SuperCoach points this year. I am not strongly pushing the case, but he would definitely be in our 22. He is a 'good ordinary player'. The question is whether he is worth the trouble, not if he can play.

With Robinson, I would expect him to go through the Roos doodlehead screening program and if he passed he would be a decent pick up.

The contract could have a couple of of doodlehead clauses. Have it set out up by a lawyer with doodlehead expertise.

What people dont know is Roos went hard for the likes of Carey Fevola and Akermarnis.

Roos will go for anyone he thinks will make the side better.

Yes Roos had a No [censored] policy but that because he backed his leaders to sort em out.

I mean he was interested in Dustin Martin laet year.

Have we got the leaders, at the moment, to sort them out though? I wouldn't have thought so.

Do you have inside sources??

I know some people at dees, blues, dogs and bombers. I sometimes hear some things but I try not to post some things on here. Not because I don't want to tell you all but it's not fair on my friends or the clubs. My wife gets to hear me ramble about it though even when she's not interested.

Martin is streets ahead of Robinson in terms of talent and ability. This year has proved that.

Not sure Roos was all that interested in Martin last year. I thought we ruled ourselves out pretty early when he shopped himself around. Happy to be proven wrong, as I cbf searching.

Which DH's are these?

Off the top of my head

Aker

Martin Pike

Josh Carr

Heath Shaw

Alan Didak

Dane Swan

Campbell Brown

Stevie J

All have played in premiership teams. You could probably throw in Ben Cousins and a few others too if you want to.

I cant think of any in the Swans line up(s)

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
