Agree totally re your reference to our culture. I call waite and garlett "cock teasers" they entice you with their very best and you get sucked into having them in your best 22 because their very best is formidable. But their inconsistency is not worth the commitment of having them on your list. Its just a pity that our football department didnt see fit to trade them when they had currency. I think they would have last year if we had in place then, the new emerging culture that our change in president seems to have sparked. But thats history...moving on.
The player that really annoys me and gets me angry is that waste of space bootsma. I wish that player no goodwill at all, something that i never say, but he really encapsulates the potentially destructive forces that are unleashed when quick money meets a flawed personality. How did we ever recruit such a narcissistic dick head.
Robinson i judge differently. Basically a decent person who can be a bit misguided. He needed taking down a peg or two and this seems to have been done. No contract, no suitors . But no doubt he can play. White line fever. We need the hardness that he brings , and just need the unguided missile to have a gps installed. There were signs in the latter half of the season that his play was starting to become smarter. I think with a new found attitude read "pulling his head in" he could become a real player. Of course that is up to malthouse to judge. I think there will have been some real counselling behind doors to try to assess if there is real repentance. If convince malthouse would be willing to give him a second chance. The fact that he was shopped around does not imo mean that robinson is necessarily gone. Sure if there was interest the club was open to a trade, but equally without decent interest the club was using it as a demonstration to him that he needs to lift his game. For me he is worth the effort provided that he realises that the game has changed and he has to knuckle down.
The players want him gone...
The Lions were interested... until they interviewed him!
Says it all...
The only kind of midfielder Brisbane would want to recruit right now would either be a future superstar, or someone who can win the ball and dish it out to their metric ton of runners.
They'll have Rockliff, Redden and Dayne Beams doing the clearance work next year if they don't address it. Another year at the bottom if they can't create a structure to do the hard work at the stoppages. They were league worst for contested possessions last season, closely matched by the Saints.
I'd suggest the interview was them asking Mitch to confirm info for them to assess him for an inside role. They would have found out pretty quickly what we did: he ain't much chop as an extractor.
