AFL Player 9: Sullivan Robey

[Yoda_]

Spotted this from CharlieDons on Blitz, which was lucky because I usually just skim thriugh looking for training reports;

I caught the end of a discussion between Fiona (Bomber Banter) and Matty Innes.
The injury to Sullivan Robey was discovered early and was a minor one, according to Innes.
Robey is expected to be ready for action at the beginning of the new year.

pretty sure this has been public knowledge, been a fair bit of hyperbole from the media regarding Robey's injury.

It was not that big in the media. It got a run for a couple of days as you would expect given our recent injury history and the fact he is a top 10 picks. Not much said after that. No more than Lalor got last year with his injury.

It’s because he’s allowed back after Christmas mate! I think you’ll find he’s not injured!

Thanks mate!
Think you will find he had a minor hot spot in his back so he is on restricted duftites until after christmas.

According to someone who is friends with Robey, he was 192 at draft combine, now 194-5.

So should be about 3m tall by the end of his career.

It’s great long term but big guys still growing when they get in the system often seem vulnerable to stress injuries - so be prepared folks

Again, I cannot state how impressive Fiona has been with Bomber Banter. She's a gem.

Agree, great channel. Really like how she sees, and comments on, the game.

194 - 195 cm would take him to Bontempelli / Cripps level.
Like Petracca, but taller.

joined in on the warmups, I’m starting to get excited..

 

[King Patty]

Impressed me he out ran Cox and Jones in the run throughs on the boundary.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Impressed me he out ran Cox and I think Perkins in the run throughs on the boundary.

You read far far too much into this shit

 

[Call Me Cake]

Impressed me he out ran Cox and Jones in the run throughs on the boundary.

Jones and Cox aren't little blokes so it's nuts to see Robey almost level yet twice as big.

 

[JayJ20]

Any reports on how long away he is from playing?

Given he is in full contact training now, I suspect he will play (some minutes) in the next VFL practice match.

 

[Petrify]

I have heard he's a chance for R1 based off training alone.

Doubt they rush him into it but suspect we will see him early on

There's no way I want him to debut next week. No need to rush.

At least a month in the VFL. Has not participated in match simulation over the preseason.

There’s no way in the world he has the conditioning required to play AFL any time soon

You would imagine that's how a good club would treat it.
If it was North, Clarkson would just tell him to go for trot around and see how it goes.
