Mitch Robinson - Delisted FA?

Featured Replies

He's a psycho. Even his teammates hated him Better to eat razor blades.

 

Roos has turned many a career around. A hard nut to add to the midfield is a yes from me

 

I'd consider Kane Lucas...

nope

hes just another Blease. Strass, Nicholson


I think he is worth having a chat to. At best he is a hard at it wrecking machine who throws his frame around, at worst he's a major off field disruption. Get Roos to have a chat with him to gauge where he's at, a lot of players can change after being dumped by their club, it could be the making of him. I don't think we're in a position to at least not consider all of our options.

Yes from me, DH???? may well be but improves our midfield depth and hardness

Poor skills but hard supposedly. But we have/had Tapscott who I reckon is a real hard nut wrecking ball. So no I don't want him.

 

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.

There's clearly a theme regards the incidents he's been a part of, whether they were started by someone else is besides the point when you're a professional sportsman. Being involved in nightclub scuffles at 5 am during the H&A season doesn't indicate professionalism let alone any level of sound judgement.

As a footballer, Robinson has had some good performances but those saying he's a walk-up start in our best 22 are over rating the bloke by a fair bit. Maybe a couple of years ago but not now.

I couldn't imagine he'd be the right fit for our club from both a personality and playing POV. But, as you say, I don't know the bloke from a bar of soap other than media he's received for being a DH.

Robinson has played great footy at AFL level

Tapscott hasnt shown a thing

There's clearly a theme regards the incidents he's been a part of, whether they were started by someone else is besides the point when you're a professional sportsman.

So just to be clear, when he is assaulted he is not entitled to defend himself, or he is not entitled to be out in nightclubs? Or both?

Saying that the fact he is not the instigator is "besides the point" purely because he's a sportsman is, on its own, a crazy thing to say.

Would you want to reunite Robinson and Garlett?

If Robinson stays in Melbourne they will hang out anyway.

I'd have a look but only if he showed signs of wanting to knuckle down

I was present when he king hit Roh Bail at Princes Park, so I don't think I'm in any position to question his account of his part in a 5 am nightclub brawl. Definitely deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Cmon, P-man. The sentence directly following the only one you bothered to quote provides the answer you're looking for.

Surely we have higher ambitions than recruitinga known DH just for midfield depth.

MFC need midfield class not depth. Robinson is a big NO.

Luke Thompson from the Crows would be worth some thought.

Yes,deeply underated and would fit our list very well.

If Robinson stays in Melbourne they will hang out anyway.

He just got a kid. Surely he will knuckle down if he wants to support his family...

sorry, doesn't he play forward though?

He isn't the first to have white line fever and won't be the last, but that I can accept a bit more. I just don't buy into the off field villain image. There are two sides to every story.

I care about whether he'd make us a better side. The rest verges on being a non-issue. He'll be 25 next year. I'd be surprised if he hasn't learned from the incidents he's been involved in, and whichever club picks him up would be making absolutely clear what is and isn't expected of him.

Cmon, P-man. The sentence directly following the only one you bothered to quote provides the answer you're looking for.

Many footballers are out til the early hours during H&A. It's naive to think otherwise. They don't all seem to attract unwanted attention though, so Robbo becomes the villain again.

If he finds a new home, and for his sake I hope he does, I'll say again that I'd be surprised if he doesn't modify his going out habits under pretty strict instruction.

Yes, all day

Not being at the same club as Garlett isnt going to stop them being out on the [censored] together.

Id back Roos in to change any player in the AFL, being sacked and changing clubs will change most blokes anyway

Brings Hardness and unpredictability to our team, only knows one way, and we could use a bloke that isnt going to mind a few cheap acts

Roos so far has not change a number of players on the MFC list.

And changing clubs is not a sure fire winner to changing blokes....certainly not most blokes. There are some that do change and thats great, there are many that dont.

In a club with such a weak and immature culture that still finding its feet the last thing we need is a DH who does "cheap acts" either on or off the field.

Its ironic that a Club that has significant midfield issues and has been accused of being "soft" there in the last year has jettisoned Robinson......Hmmmm

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
