    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
