Ok, you will all have your own opinions about this guy yeah he has had his problems off the field and there is a risk, but this guy can play! He is exactly what we need in the centre tough as nails in the centre throws his weight around has a bit of dash and lays some bone crunching tackles too! He would add some much needed depth in the centre to help out Cross Vince and some of the younger onballers. Im sure if Roos thinks he can sort him out im In!!

Remember cant put to much expectation onto a Brayshaw so early, hasn't worked for us in the past!!!

I disagree that he can play. If you haven't got a lot going for you personality wise, you need to be a good enough player to offset that, and Robinson isn't.

Do you honestly think they will bring him in straight after we just recruited Garlett...

Probably not. But gee I liked the way he went about it. Not overly endowed with talent, but makes the most of what he has. interesting contrast to some we have/had on our list who didn't manage to do the same.

I certainly wouldn't mind his type of grunt on our half back line.

We should've got him last year when Picket Fence offered up pick 2 for him.

I still say we start a 'Hall of Shame' thread for posts such as that.

We can add the one where that bloke said Cameron Ling was too ugly to be a senior coach and that other one where it was suggested we try to recruit Tim Tebow to the club.

I think Robinson (like Lamumba in many respects) is underrated as player due to perceptions about his personality.

I would have thought the club looked at Robinson and Gartlett and wisely chose only one of them.

They both need a change of scenery and time away from the people who they formed bad habits alongside.

Luke Thompson from the Crows would be worth some thought.

Hahaha yes the Tebow one, w t f.

Should get Yao Ming in the ruck too. Really cement that China connection we've got going on...

It's honestly bewildering reading comments lambasting someone I would wager none of you have met in your lives.

And for what, exactly?

A comment he never actually made himself ("bruise free"). What a DH!

Defending himself when physically attacked at a music festival. What a DH!

His greatest crime was not being upfront with the club regarding his involvement with Garlett, who reportedly was also attacked. But of course let's assume the worst cause it's Robinson. Did I mention..what a DH!!!

I'm sure none of you have ever touched a drop of alcohol or gone out and found yourself In a situation you'd rather not be in. A bunch of pristine angels.

His on field value is what matters, and that is debatable. He didn't have the most inspiring season but Malthouse was clearly never a huge fan.

Any off field stuff is a bunch of overblown tripe. This idea that he could corrupt the club is absolutely ridiculous.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
