If I dont see the following right across the board:
- Desperation equivalent to an Ethiopian food drop
- Ruthlessness
- Aggression at man and the footy (legal or otherwise)
- Low turnover rate
- High conversion rate
- Hard running
I will spew up!
That is all.

Nah, I don't remember too mant complaining about his errors in previous years. I remember people calling him the barometer of our team. A few suggested the captaincy. The final against WCE and his fine game on Fletcher the week before.
I think I told this story at the time but I used to work across the road from Visy Park. We used to use their facilities for conferences and training sessions. Once when we used the facilities, we went down to the open area just next to the gym to do a group role play thing. On the way to the area, we walked passed a white board with every players name on it and next to the names all the "areas of improvement" for each player. I recall all Robbos items where all disposal related. The word "butcher" was amongst the adjectives listed. We are talking a few years back now, nothing has changed in my opinion.

Lucas is unlucky...didnt think he was too bad as the sub and contested better than some of his mates when he came on. I dont call that great selection work at all.

Robbo is one of Mick s whipping boys and I reckon is on shaky ground in terms of his future...



Go back to the old site and look at the voting for our final vs WCE in 2011. Robbo almost BOG, what a fall from grace in less than a season from a very good footballer to very average footballer. Mick's working his magic on the team.
Apart from Hendo and Touhy tell me who's actually improved?? If Robbo goe's so do I.

Just on that, everyone says it's the players fault that they have no heart and don't work hard enough but what's the excuse for Robbo? Surely no one can doubt his work ethic? His heads obviously not in the right place and that goes for a shightload of our players ATM. Like I said a few days ago, there comes a time were there's just too many players underperforming for it to be the players fault.
Robbo for all his endeavours just makes too many errors, Ratts tolerated it, MM doesnt.

Robbo has his problems but is he a worse option than Eddie?

Eddies efforts have been putrid, stick Robbo in the forward line, at least he'll get involved.
Cant argue with that
