Out of the team for a bit then back in and has been good 2 weeks running, tackling a feature of his game and hits the scoreboard. Reckon he has arrived as a player.

Good call. Team had 90 (!) tackles yesterday and he had 8, second most. Playing a great role with his aggression and energy. Polish will come. Got a tontine pillow last night also from the 5th quarter; he could use that on Eddie!

3 weeks running actually. was one of our few decent players against the hawks.

if he can get to contests he is very effective. just need to keep plugging away and keep out of trouble and he'll be a ripper

he will have an excellent career at Carlton, a premiership player - and then he will have a career in the media.

If he doesnt get this weeks NRS nomination then they should scrap the award.
Hope he does, the interviews they do would be worth watching.

Since he has come back into the side, his stats for the last 3 weeks are:

21 disposals, 2 goals, 4 tackles in round 9
22 disposals, 2 goals, 7 tackles in round 10
23 disposals, 1 goal, 8 tackles in round 11

If he continues to perform like that every week he will be a valuable player for us.

Agree with above, If Robinson can continue to produce 20 plus possessions a game then he becomes a very valuable player to the side.

His stats don't worry me much - it's his appetite for the contest and mixing UFC with AFL football is exciting.

I just love his energy and he transfers that to the rest of the team, which is fantastic.
He is our new age Hickmott and looking forward to his development/growth over the next few years.

Haven't seen Tom Rockliff's last few weeks?

He should get it this week, then Robbo next week if he has a good game.

Saw Rockliff last night on TV, Robbo has got votes in the paper 2 weeks in a row and Rockliff hasnt.

Rockliff has been a catalyst in Brisbane's comeback last night and also in their win against the filth last weekend. I'm a Robbo fan but I wouldn't be using journalist's votes as a deciding factor.

Mitch Robinson has the potential to be another Robert Dipierdomenico. Improve skills, decision making and add a few more kilos on the upper body and this kid could be a raging bull across the wing.

That's pretty much where things will head.

Watch the replay of Judd's goal 5 mins into the last. Beautiful block on McDonald by Robbo.

:thumbsup:

Dipper was a good player but the worst thug (leaving aside Robbie Muir who, at least looked at the bloke he was about to hit (except Dennis Collins)) I've ever seen.

Hopefully Robbo doesn't go down that street.

I'm pretty sure you can find Eve down the end of that street.

I love his intencity, the human canon ball!!

Has an uncanny ability to hit targets out of contested situations, and has a big right boot which is more than handy....
