Ok then...

I don't think I've ever met a Melbourne supporter who had such strong negative feelings about Robbo!

Maybe they know you'd hurt them if they said anything negative about Robbo to you! :lol:

No but seriously, I know many people who feel the same way that I do and as terrible as I probably sound for paying out a player who has this and that going for him and has been a loyal servant to the club, I can't help it.

Sorry. :unsure:

    Don't you understand? He is the Melbourne Football Club

    LOL, funny how 'mr. MFC' pretty much threw the MFC offer of 2 years (a very reasonable offer for him) back in their face. He should realise that if Jones is offered and accepted a 2-year deal, he should really be on a 1/2 year, performance based contract.

    Selfish on the field, and now showing that he's selfish off it. I have no time for those types of players

    It's just business. He's looking on the business side of things. He knows where he stands with his knees and age and he wants to be around for a bit longer. Lets be honest here; if he agrees to 2 years with Melbourne, it will be his last 2 years here.

    Actually.

    Of Melbourne supporters I talk to on a daily basis. Being Dad, Brother, Auntie, 2 mates, a girl I know and 2 blokes at work.

    Only my auntie likes him, the rest despise.

    That's the whole point.

    I loved watching him take the one ''speccie' a game, but it doesn't win you finals,and is selfish in the extreme. There is no value in this approach to play.

    Robbo had grossly over-estimated his value, and this will end in tears.

    My dad does not like him due to the flying early, falling over and watching the ball run out, would rather not lose him but if we give him 3 years i will spew!

    I've never heard anyone complain about Robbo's species, but it adds a little extra. He has that ability and adds a bit of worth to him. He isn't good enough to put bums on sits though, unfortuantly, and his style of play and physical appearence matches the bulldogs.

    Its not the speccies, but pretty much every markign contest he goes to ground, never holds his feet and if he does not mark it, his opponent runs it out, hence why clement always spanked him.

    Yeah, but when he took them, they were always something special :wub:

    Agree, but the old man does not like show ponies, he likes footballers to just play the game, oh and punch the opponents.

    If robbo does leave i for one will miss him right up until Judd or Rance and Henderson(pick 4,5) walk in the door.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. 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?
