The most selfish MFC player in 150 years?

Featured Replies

Posted

Don't know about the first 100 years but Robbo has to be the most selfish Demon I've seen in over 50 years of supporting this club. He will not/ can not shepherd, handball, pass to a teammate or chase an opponent.

Yesterday I thought there was a breakthrough- he actually ran to the halfback line to help his teammates. Got a few kicks too.

But, for me, all that good work was undone in the last quarter when he ignored young Morton, who was in a far better position, and blazed away at goal himself. O.K. he got the goal but was that the team thing to do?

The previous week Robbo ran 50 metres to thank Yze who'd passed to Robbo, resulting in a goal. However, he wouldn't run 20 metres to congratulate Morton whose beautiful foot pass also produced a goal. No wonder so many promising kids at this club lose confidence.

Now if this seems a bit tough on Robbo, please remember he's supposed to be a leader. And anyway, who can name a more selfish player in Melbourne's long history?

 

He wasn't selfish when he was kicking 50+ goals a year. It's easy to kick someone when they're down.

 

Inside 50 he should be selfish. Its what hes paid for .

Stop blaming 1 player for whats happening

What a load of attention seeking hyperbole that comes out on this site.

Two bad losses and we have the worst players and most selfish players in our history.


First post, and what absolute tripe!

Hope your follow up efforts are a little sharper than that Senile.

im sick of supporters sooking about players!!!!!!!!!!! yes u do it every now and the but ffs not every friggen day or minute!! soo childish! too be honest i am over it and sick of it. and dont worry sanile sam im not having a go at you its the other idiotic supporters on this site.

Robbo is the Demons!

Selfish my A$$, he is feeling every loss let me tell you!

Sure, all players make a mistake here and there, but he is trying to make something out of nothing in the early stages of this dark season.

Agreed. He is such a good kick that he may as well take it himself. He does need to look at his defensive pressure a bit more but his combined leading, marking & kicking for goal accuracy is better than anyones else at the moment so IMO He is performing well as a forward, especially considering the limited opportunities, just the defensive bit for my mind is down.

Good first post

Agree entirely

Our are dead right here, DB took him off after his 2 or 3 attempts at a screamer in the first quarter then put him back on after that, and he tried to change his game, good on him for that and good on DB for doing that.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • 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?
