As indicated last week must be really close to nomination - not fashionable nor pretty but really making his presence felt and a lot smarter about it recently -really impressed in last quarter when 70 or so points up -went up against 3 tigers was going to get hit did take the hit and team mate strolled in for easy goal - great long kick too - ps great tackle right near me on Saturday - umpire off course paid in the back it wasnt

Seems also to be more on pace with game now initially looked to lack a bit of pace but doesnt seem like it now

A steal at pick 40

Going ok at the moment and is performing his role for the team. Would certainly not be out of place getting nominated this week after a couple of solid performances.
We will learn a lot more about Robbo, Ellard and Davies this week when we play Geelong.

To be fair, I think what we'll learn about those guys this week is that they're raw kids going up against a hard, experienced team of quality Premiership players, and so they'll probably struggle to have the same impact as they did against Richmond's lot. But we know that already, yeah?

I thought at the start of the year he had a long way to go in the footy smarts department. He has come on leaps and bounds in that area. Seems to pick the right option more often than not and much less of a headless chook mentality. Seems to respond well to being given a role.

Andrew Mackie for this week I reckon.

Nope, Robbo played on Fletcher two weeks ago and had a fair stint on Newman against the Tigers. So the last two games he has played on the opposition key playmakers. It is more about consistency of performance and he will again have negating job to do first and then trying to be creative second.

Jackson Trengrove from Port has had 2 pretty good weeks, so you'll probably find gets the nomination this week.

Still doesn't move as smoothly as he did as a junior. Whether that's his engine in need of more of a build-up or the results of his strength work, I don't know. Makes good decisions quickly enough for it not to be an issue as a high-half forward or in the thick of it, but he came to us with good run and carry as well as an ability to make aerial interceptions.

If all of the above comes together WH & co's rating on him will be well justified.

Going again this week -3 goals 20 possies and a number of marks - still learning -needs to keep it simple unfashionable but absolutely deserves nomination
Got cross with him in last quarter for silly tap on which if he had of taken would have resulted in a goal but redeemed himself soon after kicking a good goal

like Hendo needs to be a bit more selfish sometimes when forward of center -he and Hendo need to take responsibility and if 45 meters out kick for goal instead of passing off so some one else has to kick for goal
