DEMONS DRAFT BID IN JUDD BATTLE

Featured Replies

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 think your dad and my dad could know eachother ;) !!!

HAHA i think that my dad would love having another to sit with to complain about her with.

 

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.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
