probably expected.

137 games, 2 premierships. A fair career.

I'm usually full of praise for guys when they retire but i don't really like Robran. :mad: He cracked the sads at Hawthorn because we omitted him in the 91 GF, did he expect us to leave out Dermott Brereton?

Oh well, i guess he had a pretty good career and he got his premierships at the Crows.

All the best you big sooky bastard. ;) :D

Yeah, a pretty good career from Matty, not many players kick 6 goals in an AFL prelim. and take part in 2 premierships.

I bought plane tickets once from Matty and he seemed a top bloke. Who wouldn't be disappointed at missing a GF side??

Well Done :)

He's a really nice bloke

But he was a bit soft as a player

had great skills but wasn't hard enough and didn't work hard enough in my view

He did a job for us though

Mark Stevens is far more my type of player.

A sad way to go out (has he announced it yet???)

I think Robran underachieved a bit but was good service to the Adelaide Footy club for a number of yrs

Hey, my mum sold him a waterbed 2 months ago :eek:

I hope he continues playin with the redlegs, he is, and will be a star in the SANFL next season

Does your mumwork at Mr. Waterbed??

What size was the bed??

How much water is needed approximately for your average waterbed??

How expensive was the waterbed Matty bought?? :) :confused:

Givin that he had HUGE shoes to fill, I agree with Macca; his career was always gonna be fair.

Wouldve liked to see him play with a bit more mongrel like say a "Barry Hall"

All the best Matty;)
