Loved Robbo's game on the weekend, think that was his best so far.

By a considerable margin. The test will be for him and others to back it up with another strong effort against the Bombres.Loved Robbo's game on the weekend, think that was his best so far.
His kicking was woeful early, but I thought he improved it as the game went on. Promising signs...I would like to see him get a long stint in the seniors and see how he can develop
NICK Robertson is a laid-back kind of character, but brings the kind of intensity to a game Brisbane Lions coach Justin Leppitsch and captain Tom Rockliff are asking for.
As Gold Coast halfback Trent McKenzie found out in round five, the 20-year-old from West Australia doesn't mind a scrap on the field, thriving in the heat of battle.
"Rocky always addresses the playing group about having the hunger and desire to win," Robertson told APN yesterday.
Happy Birthday to my boy for tomorrow!! 20 years old!

Great news Robbo18! How does the break work for the players - are they back at the Club until Wednesday and then have 4 days off with a return next Monday?Nicks home on Wednesday night till Sunday arvo which will be nice. Got a nasty cork on the weekend so he's looking forward to some relaxation for a few days. Doing a footy clinic for the under 13s at his old junior club and a sports talk at Tinekas Dads School. As a Dad it's great to see him wanting to share his experiences with others back home.
Looking forward to having him home!!
Yep that's right mate.Great news Robbo18! How does the break work for the players - are they back at the Club until Wednesday and then have 4 days off with a return next Monday?
You are very proud of him regardless I'm sure but you would also be pretty stoked with the way he is developing I reckon. Really has started to look like he belongs and I know we are a struggling side at the moment but he is looking more and more like he can be in our best 22 even when some of the senior players return.Yep that's right mate.
Still have to do their normal recovery and their meetings with line coaches etc, then they can fly out or do whatever they're doing from Wednesday night.
Have to be back at the club for training Monday.
Nick asked to fly out a day earlier to spend a bit more time with his brothers but was told no because he's playing senior footy, which I thought was really great as it showed that even though it's been tough and the wins are hard to come by, the club is sticking to its routines.

I think it's more of the role he's been given now more than anything. The inside mid role for a first year player in a team that doesn't control the stoppages on a regular basis is a tough gig for any first year player I reckon. He's enjoying the wing and has gotten a lot stronger over the last pre season.Also, it's the player sponsors' do this evening at the club. I thought it was just poor planning to have it bite into the bye-week, but maybe the players have other responsibilities as you've indicated.
Nick's certainly coming along well - seems to have much more awareness than his first few games and hence appears less pressured.
Nicks really enjoying Brisbane and especially playing with the Lions. Nicks a pretty loyal fellow and he's just really happy Leppa has shown faith in him and he's working as hard as he can to repay that.Hey Rob
How is Nick handling being away from home? It's been more than a year and with the certainty of Aish leaving, it just makes me wonder if Nick showing any signs of homesickness?
Also would love to see Daniel drafted to the Lions for another brothers combo
As long as he doesnt take it anywhere but BrisbaneNicks really enjoying Brisbane and especially playing with the Lions. Nicks a pretty loyal fellow and he's just really happy Leppa has shown faith in him and he's working as hard as he can to repay that.
I reckon in another pre season we'll see where he can take his footy. It's all just stepping stones of trying to improve atm.

Hey Robbo18! - really enjoy your insights. Can you tell us what alcohol consumption protocols the Lions have in place with so many young players on our list...I ask this question in light of the stuff happening 100km down the M3!Nicks home on Wednesday night till Sunday arvo which will be nice.
