    Maybe it's like that baseball movie with the kids who busts his arm in some kind of accident, and then the muscles knit so tightly when they heal that he can pitch a ball at major league speeds.

    Robbo will be easily the fastest, but will lose because his strong leg will go faster than his weak leg and he'll end up going around in a circle.

    Other possibilities -

    The club and Robbo have agreed to do everything they can to boost his profile and trade value.

    This is the club's way of saying "Robbo, we love you, see, we do all these things for you, but could you just take the damn two years?"

    And bizarre possibility three - Robbo has really looked after himself these last few weeks, has been working hugely on strengthening his legs to overcome the persistent knee problems, and has developed an explosive pace off the mark which might just give him a crack at the sprint.

    Robbo's always been quick off the mark. Just need Neita standing 5 metres past the finish line facing away and Robbo will think he's a chance for a speccy - will win by 20m...

    God, poor old Paul Hasleby, you'd think the Dockers could have sent over someone a little quicker.

    FFS that's the second year in a row he's limped his way to the end of the year and turned up in the sprint.

    Jacques:

    "Did I hear someone say pick 22?"

    Is robbo our fastest runner?? What about Davey, has he ever gone in the grand final sprints...what does he get for a 100?

  • Quote

    Does anyone have the odds on Robbo doing his hammy at the 30 metre mark?

    Based on our 2007 performances, I think there's a fair chance this will happen.

    so how did Robbo go ????

    Really it should be White in the sprint, a last ditch attempt to have our ENTIRE senior list injured at some point during the season.

    pfffft wat a joke! davey or bell shud have been our prefered option

    As long as he's not chasing a rebounding defender he'll be ok.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Given his knee injuries over the past two years I would have thought his entry was as farcical as horse with equine flu in the Melbourne Cup.

    he came last in his last heat i think

    You mean last in his only heat. I didn't see the race but from what I hear he beat Paul Hasleby (6m) home.

    If that' the case then Hasleby's trade stocks aren't looking too flash.

    • 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.
