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 ;) !!!

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:

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
