Mitch Robinson - Delisted FA?

Recommended Posts

Another coup for the Brisbane Lions.

They've just recruited a player with half Stef Martin's IQ

Ah careful, Stef Martin got a high enter! Try saying recruiting a player with 1/10th Stef Martins IQ and you will be closer to the truth!

Carlton supporting friends and family mean I'm exposed to a lot of their games and a lot of the talk and reviewing of their players.

Long story short. He's adequate.

Not a huge number of possessions, not a huge share of them contested. Not an outstanding number of tackles.

He also led the Blues for clangers-per-game, by a considerable margin.

Pass. Not what we need and not very good anyway.

Yeah they must be gutted they picked up the competition's best performed ruckman over the second half of the year.

The Lions will make the 8 next year.

They have been getting it right since Lethal rejoined them.

Yep.

Meanwhile we will be probably battling bottom 4 usual. Brisbane and Port have shown what drafting the right players could do.

Look for St Kilda to make huge improvement next year aswell.

I dont reckon the aints will improve.

Carlton will slide.

Dogs down.

We may finish above a couple more teams next go.

Adelaide will slip backwards too.

How will Brisbane make the 8 with no backline and no forward line? Their best forward is a midfielder for crying out loud.

Personally, I think we need a few hard nuts. The best melbourne sides in the last 20 years have all had thrm, by which I mean finals sides: Biffen, Grinter, Pickett, Neitz, Whelan, we don't have the fear factor, however much we recruit sublimely talented athletes. Robinson is the closest to this in the draft. We should get him.

What? Viney, Cross, Riley, and Jones aren't enough for you?

Nup he hasn't and never will learn, just the sort of bloke who although can play has massive side issues that will detract from the team values.

Don't forget he belted Ro Bail in an "Off the ball" incident and was lucky to have only got 3 -4 weeks for it ! Nup keep well away fro this club!

What we need is grunt with a bit of class.

I.e. Jack Viney.

Agree with this.

Dont think hes that much of a bloke or player.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUT, At 1/2 time when he has blood spewing out of his head and tells the doc to GAGF im playing the 2nd half.

Thats what we aint had for a long time.A brainless go getter that sets an example.

So Robinson has been officially picked up by Brisbane.

The Lions have a habit of picking up dick heads, Lawrence, Heuskes, Fevola now Robinson.

The former three were all failures one way or another and this moron will be no different.

Daniel Cross, Jones, Viney, hopefully Hogan. Nev Jetta doesn't take a backward step. I'm hoping Dean Kent starts throwing his weight around (with control). If Aidan Riley makes the grade he'll be physical enough. Dom Tyson copped a lot this year and never shirked it. And I'm hoping Max Gawn takes the ruck job and plays with his enthusiasm, but failing that he might be an ordinary football but Jake Spencer at times has looked a big strong SOB with some white line fever.

That's not enough talent to form a critical mass of really hard players, so yeah Robinson might've added toughness, but if he's always out of the side through stupidity and not helping us win through lack of talent I can understand us passing on him.

Recruiting Byron Pickett as an enforces was a complete waste. Guess it's time to see if Roosy can instill toughness to the group using the guys he's got.

Absolutely not. Viney is very young and inexperienced and has a teenager's body; Cross is experienced but his 34 yo body is slowing down and prone to injury; Riley I think is slow and no more than a filler, and a not very good one at that; and Jones, if you mean the captain as opposed to Matt, then he is our only bona fide A-grader. Hawthorn has 10 plus a-grader mid fielders. We have a long way to go. Robertson is a mature bodied, mature age recruit, and would have been a good acquisition.

As it turns out I understand he is off to Brisbane. Maybe there are some hard bodied types in the PSD. We need some tough nuts. I can't name any in the line up like the ones I listed above.

Teenagers body? What absolute crock [censored]. I have seen Viney dive in head first into a pack and clean some one up along the way. He is as tough as they come and in comparison to a young joel selwood. Teenage body LOL.

And again seriously if your going to be critical of someone at least do your research first. Cross is 31 years old and potentially has two years left in him. He played with a broken leg FFS.

Watch the way Riley tackles someone. He doesn't just tackle he spearnright into the ground. Again I hqve seen him do what Viney does. He also is tough as they come and doesn't take a backward step.

    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
