Robinson 'all good' after big knock'But he's actually pulled up remarkably well. He saw the doc again this morning and the doc said he'd pulled up really well. Given the length of time before our next game it will be great for Mitch's recovery. Even with a seven-day break we're pretty confident he'd be able to play. But given that it's a 10-day break we certainly feel very confident that he'll be able to. We'll monitor him, though, because concussion can come on a couple of days after as well. So, really, we need to let him settle for a few days and then start testing him again. There will be a test mid-week and then another one later in the week to make sure that he hasn't gone backwards."
I think it might be fair to say that he may have been the difference between us winning and losing on Thursday.Robinson 'all good' after big knock
Robinson 'all good' after big knock
Shame he was knocked out with the way he was playing. Didn't blaze away after he held onto the ball and spotted Judd. His detractors will ignore what he brings to our 22.
Mitch RobinsonSurrounded by class, this bloke is all blue-collar whose importance in the middle is overlooked. Had 29 touches, of which 20 were contested and was third in clearances and second in inside 50s. Can kick it like a broken-down giraffe, but the game as it is with intense pressure around the ball, Robinson is often in the situation to just get forward. Will chase stats on how many times he's in the centre square for bounces, because they are a better team when he's there. He might not always get it, but he'll die stopping the opposition getting it out.
Mitch and co. make the most of McLean’s showingThis team has gained from the fact that five of its past six contests had involved top eight teams – Fremantle, Richmond (twice), Essendon* and Port Adelaide, and they’ll be ready for whatever’s thrown at them at ANZ Stadium.
Mitch has signed a two year deal with Blues and stated he wants to be a one club player.
Gotta love 'im!
The secret footballer: The players the fans love to hate, but who would be first picked by their peersMitch Robinson runs around like a headless chook and must be the bane of the Carlton coaching staff. How to rein in a loose cannon like that?
No! Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. You could not be further from the truth. They might be your thoughts, as fans in the outer, but not to us, the guys who get to play with and against them each week. Those seven players I've mentioned are actually hugely admired by their peers.
Robinson's brain fades have at times been enough to make my teammates laugh out loud on the field. But do we admire his determination, his manic intensity? Absolutely we do. Sure, it might be misdirected at times, but you've just got to love his passion and will to win.
The Carlton Football Club has finalised changes to its playing list ahead of next month’s NAB AFL National Draft. Mitch Robinson, Brock McLean and Kane Lucas will not be offered contracts beyond 2014.
I would like to thank the Carlton Football Club for giving me the opportunity to live my dream playing AFL. It has been great to reach 100 games over 6 years, full of ups and downs over the course but will cherish the moments forever.
Thanks to all the CFC faithful & members who've supported me over the journey. Very excited to give my family and I a fresh start in 2015.
