Carlton pair on the move?

[Moneider96 1,045]

I say give them both an opportunity. Our team has too many nice blokes...been wanting a Cambell Brown type all my life

[chookrat 4,268]

Get them to throw brock in as a sweetener. We can pay him in utes and tyres.

[Watts Jurrah Dunn? 735]

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.

[hardtack 10,627]

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.

[dee-luded 2,959]

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 dick 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.

And Dusty has gone on to have a very, very good season. Doesn't mean Robinson does the same but we can't just ignore him if he is available!

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.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

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.

Would be happy to have Robinson in the midfield provided roosy can help him sort out his off field problems! The guy has a real hard edge that would help us in the aggression department!!

[robbiefrom13 894]

Taking on a discarded Mitch Robinson would be more humiliating than getting just 4 wins in Roos' first season. How much do we have to take?

[What 18,810]

Jeff Garlett kicked 48 goials in 2011, and 43 last year

Hes only just turned 25

Laughable to suggest Roos and co would not be looking at him hard

I hope we get him

[Little Goffy 14,645]

It's a nup and a nup from me.

Neither bring enough positives to balance their weaknesses.

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Robinson would never pass Roosy's no DH policy. No thanks. Just because he arguably would make our best 22 does not make him part of our future.

[dazzledavey36 55,360]

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.

[Demanding Success 298]

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.

any team with an actual no DH policy would never win a flag

Every great team has their share of DH's

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)
