AFL Player 9: Sullivan Robey - Round 9 Rising Star! - 11/05

[Tazdog]

Can we get a highlights package for this man!!

 

[JayJ20]

Robey isn't fit enough to play a full AFL match. I'd target an ANZAC debut and let him keep dominating VFL games.

Footscray, bye, Gold Coast. Good to see him play well but North have never been a strong program. Footscray and Gold Coast will be good challenges

Watching him today was akin to watching that big kid dominate in a mini league match.

Watched most of the game and north weren’t that strong. If it wasnt for Edward’s, Robey and Tsatas we probably lost. I think Robey and Edward’s are a fair way off AFL match fitness and need a good run of games at VFL level.
I’m still not convinced about Tsatas. He gets a lot of the ball but never has any time to dispose of it, he should really hurt you in VFL. Even though I don’t think he’ll make it he still deserves a good run at it to see if he can develop or not. Ridley was serviceable without really standing out, probably in against Bulldogs.

I'm giving Robey at least next week in the vfl too, but a very encouraging display from the kid.

I call dibs if we ever do “our boys” draft again.

I’ve already called him as my

[thepokey]

I don't want to get my hopes up, but he might be the greatest player in the history of the universe. And that would simply be for replacing Perkins

 

[Old Campaigner]

I guess with the extended bench he could come in and just spend 60% TOG or something

[Lance Uppercut]

Thanks Richmond

[Westlo]

100% he'll be brought in for Gather Round against Melbourne after we get belted by 100+ against the Dogs next week.

 

[cobra land]

Looking at those highlights, I think he still looks a few weeks off being at a fitness level that would allow him to make an impact at the next level.

He's the one you want to see fully fit and I'd wait till Anzac day to unleash.

 

[TheUnicorn]

I'm not trying to be a negative Nelly, I know he’s just a baby in his first few games at this level, but the way everyone was carrying on, I was somehow expecting more from these highlights

I've also had a bit to drink, maybe i'll watch with fresh eyes in the morning when the bitter taste of his senior team mates is gone from my mouth.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Finally drafting the infamous "Big Bodied Mid" just as the game is getting faster and pivoting away from those types of players would be such an Essington thing to do.

Hopefully it all works out, I've got high hopes.

lol you still need a big bodied mid.

Like GWS with Tom Green and Oliver I would say is overkill the way the game is going but with Green doing his ACL it ended up being a good move for the Giants... and Oliver is only going to be more valuable once he can start giving it to players like Josh Kelly once he recovers from injury.

worst case he's an upgrade on Perkins.

I think he will be more a bullocking midfielder that pushes forward and kicks goals, DeGoey in his prime.

In tandem with Sharp we should be much stronger in the middle eventually. Use Durham more on the outside.

 

[Megabattimus]

Can't wait for him to break into the AFL side at some point this season. We need a big bodied mid so bad.

Do you? Brisbane seem to do fine without one, and Geelong too.

The game is only getting faster and you need to have great speed/foot skills to play it. At most midfields can carry one bloke who can't kick if they have other attributes to offset it, like Dunkley at Brisbane.

How we're going to have Sharp, Robey, Durham etc in the same midfield - I don't know, I don't think Rosa thought much about it either.

Wow, prime DeGoey would be nice. I'm cautiously optimistic!

Geelong?

You taking the piss or are you on it?

Danger absolutely ****ing smashed the hawks in the prelim last year lol, made all their mids look like ****ing choir boys (shame about the grand final)

Brisbane?

Wtf is Josh Dunkley? Cooked liver?

How'd he go in the GF? Ashcroft was Norm Smith at a whopping 182cm Ironically enough best on for Geelong were their runners in Smith and Holmes.

Dunkley at 188cm is closer to Durham than he is Robey or Green. Does Jye Calwell become our "missing piece" if he's 4cm taller? Doubt it.

I'm not necessarily talking about Robey himself, more how he fits in the team with other mids who aren't particularly fast or great by foot. Just because he's a a big lad doesn't mean it's going to be a winning mix.
