Robbie Fox

Player Profile
Capable of playing as a defender, shifting forward or pinch-hitting in the ruck, Robbie Fox is a versatile option for Sydney Swans coach John Longmire. The Tasmanian is also one of the best endurance runners at the club and can take a strong contested grab. Sydney rookie-listed Fox in November 2016 and he’s since fought hard to become a regular member of the Swans’ best 22. He played 11 senior matches in 2019. Draft history: 2017 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 34.

Shut down 2 of the leagues better intercept defenders the past 2 weeks. Really impressed with his competitiveness.

This is the first season he's trained full time with the forwards and had more than 2 weeks notice he was going to be playing in the forward line.

Absolute Team Man.

Absolute Team Man.

He's also a guy Horse can swing back with 100% confidence if necessary. Excellent one-on-one defender. Much better in the team than as a sub. Wicks has added something in both matches and I think Corey would too.

as a forward target tho? IDK on 2 occasions he dropped into the space where Amartey had a comfortable lead at the ball.

He's playing a defensive forward role. It shows he's a defender when ever he kicks for goal, not great, but he allows Hayward more freedom. And clearly still learning the patterns.

Did well at Kardinia Park a few years ago kicked a few and took a screamer IIRC, so he has it in him.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

After roaming BT’s interview Friday night, Heeney better keep an eye on the sly Fox.

Okay but Hayward tried a one handed mark that ended up cutting off a ball that was about to land straight in McDonald's bread basket. And Hayward's been playing as a forward for a decade. It happens.

Decade ?

 

[caesar88]

Decade ?

Yes, he's been in the AFL system for over 7 years and presumably played forward a lot as a junior.

Don’t get any ideas @FC_Tasmania
But Penguin’s finest, Robbie Fox

was very happy to don the map today for our local footy week session!

 

[SwansProudly]

Happy birthday

 

[caesar88]

We're lucky to have him. Easy to forget what a luxury it is to have someone who you can chuck anywhere and know you'll get the absolute utmost effort from him at worst, a good showing where he ticks all the boxes of his job at best.

Thanks, but not sure what my childhood has to do with Robbie Fox

Might be me but didn't rate him today

 

[caesar88]

Might be me but didn't rate him today

What were you hoping to see from him that you didn't see today?

 

[The King!]

Might be me but didn't rate him today

Prefer him with the moustache?

 

[Olian]

Thought he was good today. Moved from the defensive forward to a defender. Played his part.
