All we have to do is wait until he inevitably sprays the ball straight into our hands!  :D  :P

Will be interesting to see the team's reaction to one of them being Robbo'ed

I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

What like Bell is tough guy is he? Robbo would eat him for Breakfast. Bell is one of the most overrated, overhyped players on our list. Has shown me nothing special what so ever. Isnt polished in his disposal at all and I would be surprised to see him get a game this year if it wasnt for injuries to others.

I must have been watching a different player  ???

Robbo's hits are often of little consequence.  He tried to take out Hodge last season and ended up getting hurt himself, much to Hodge's amusement.  Bell is more subtle and more effective when he clobbers an opponent.  If they were to go toe to toe, I'd back Bell.

As I see it, Bell will be competing with Cripps and Whiley and Bell's inefficient disposal probably gives Cripps a slight edge.

Hodge was one incident. The you've been Robbo'ed thread has plenty of counter examples and I can't think of a single instance where someone called his hit inconsequential at the time.

Agree, Robbo is human cannon ball. No regards for his body or well being. No one in the comp comes close w.r.t. that attribute.

Some of Robbo's attempts at being a tough guy may have at times looked spectacular, but has he ever really hurt anyone?
Reality always wins in the end.

Bell is/was a bigger unit than Robbo and he does hurt players when he makes contact..problem is Bell doesnt have the intensity of Robbo or the die for the jumper attitude
and is just too spasmodic in everything he does.

Robbo did come off second best vs Hodge but Bell wouldnt have bothered trying and thats the difference...not sure Bell understands the opportunity he has in front of him and needs realise his career could be over before its starts if he doesnt start thinking mere about the game and being less casual...

We now do have Clem Smith who looks to have the required qualities?

I am very keen to see how Clem goes out on the field. Some good write ups on his abilities. He could potentially do a better job of filling Armfields role.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Apart from the additional 10kgs on Bell's frame, he does think before acting and his decision making is far superior to Robbo's.  Unfortunately for Bell, and us, his execution is poor, even worse than Robbo's.

Unless he can improve that aspect of his game, he doesn't have that much of a future.  He has shown glimpses - his game against Gold Coast for example - of how good he could be, but we would need to see that sort of form consistently.

Not sure how long his contract has to go but 2015 will be Bell's make or break year for sure. He needs to be very convincing.

The other thing will Bell for me is he has no speed or endurance. He seems to tire easily and he becomes sloppy (which is to be expected) and he doesn't move across the ground gracefully. He is a real plodder. Now thats ok when you have elite disposal but...
