I hope he has a speedy recovery for what is a major upheaval in his life.
I had a type A aortic dissection (same as Chris Cairns) last year and I'm still trying to recover. Just out of hospital again this week having surgery on a type b dissection.

Crazy isn’t it. My brother passed away at 38 just over 2 years ago. Suffered badly from asthma his whole life and put the chest tightness down to that. Couple of puffs of the inhaler and off to bed. Found dead on the floor the following morning. Turned out he had severe CHD and suffered a rupture due to a blockage. Was gone before he hit the floor.

Did he bother getting tested for COVID first before making that judgment?
yes what a great concept. Let’s allow the government to do something with all of our lives, take away our freedom of choice, all in the name of the greater good. Let’s give the people in government more power, maybe then all the nasty horrible things will disappear. Such as obesity, alcoholism, drug use, teenage pregnancy and whatever else people get offended by easily these days. I’m sure that such things such as mental health, suicides and other health issues will disappear as we conform to government standards in living our lives. I for one cannot wait to be told how to live and how to think, rather than experiencing life and not knowing how to think.
yes I am being sarcastic. Fit and Healthy people die as well obese and unhealthy living people. To say that the government needs to do something about it is just stupid. It’s us individuals that have to be responsible and accountable for our own Personal life styles. This is the main problem with society today, the fear of being different, that we all have to embrace the conformity of the perception of perfection.
Seems very narrow minded of you to think that the only way the government could do anything about the obesity epidemic is to take away peoples freedoms.
Ever considered the fact they could put a lot more money into education campaigns?
It’s also an incredibly long way from “stupid” to suggest that they should do something about it, when the health issues and so-on that are directly or indirectly related to obesity cost millions, if not billions of dollars a year in taxpayer money.
I would take a guess and say it's all offset by the fast food industry.
My guess is the government make more from fast food than what it costs in hospital costs.
Yes it is very narrow minded of me. I don’t share your optimism in the government putting money into education, over this issue. Simply because of past and current state and federal governments responses over other such issues. Let’s take alcohol for example, rather than looking at educating the masses of the dangers of drinking too much alcohol and trying to change the culture, the government’s put a tax on the purchase of alcohol. On top of that tax, people are than paying another tax (GST) on top of that purchase. Cigarettes are the same, where the tax goes up every six months. The government’s makes more money from these taxes, which then enables them to look after their own self interests.
So the only thing the government would do, would be to introduce a “fat” tax where prices at restaurants and fast food places, even grocery items go up by an extra 10-20%. They will say that it’s in our best interest, when really the politicians only interest is making their wallets fatter with the extra income it will generate.

‘Burst into tears’: Robbo’s scary health reveal
AFL 360 co-host Mark Robinson has lifted the lid on his recent health scare that caused him to miss the back-end of the 2021 AFL season as he underwent open-heart surgery.

Sounds like Robbo was in a rather bad state.

Hope the penny has dropped for Robbo as far as lifestyle etc goes. Still recall the time I saw an ex workmate who'd had a triple bypass out having a ciggy...
When an obese man with a heavy drinking problem has a health problem that is caused by those issues, it’s reasonable to put 2 and 2 together and say the answer is 4. The bigger point is how many Australians are living this lazy unhealthy lifestyle that will also die prematurely… while the government does nothing to stop children getting addicted to sugar and fast food.
Drive past The Alfred hospital any day of the week and you see patients towing around an oxygen bottle sit down on the wall outside having a dart. It is choice. I seen my old man have surgery to have half his tongue cut away because of Throat and tongue cancer light up a month later. Eventually died of Lung cancer. Go figure.
If only it was so easy. I was a very fit 50 yo. Ran most days of the week. Also worked out at gym. One day, I started to feel as if I had cracked a rib. I've had cracked ribs from back in my playing days and it was exactly that feeling. I put it down to having hurt them in a gym session where I hit myself working out.
No urgency but a few days down the track I decided to get them checked out.
Turned out I had a heart attack followed by heart failure. Rushed in for open heart (valve and aorta were fcked). Ended up flat lining several times 3 days post op. Obviously ended up making it but I've come across so many blokes who in hindsight could see the signs but dismissed it as nothing. I now urge people to get checked out at the first sign of something not quite right. The consequences are dire. And don't underestimate recovery. Took me 2 years to start feeling normal.
And my condolences Mudman85. Gone way too early. And yet blokes like that kidnapper and Pell's mates in the priesthood live on.
p.s. and don't tell the missus but I did sneak in a sneaky dart at half time of the 2020 GF. Geez it went down well with a large scotch in hand.
p.s.s. don't recommend the smoking part as my implanted defib went off 1 week later when the electrics played up. Bounced right out of my driveway onto the street. 6 shocks later back in ICU. Indestructible

Don’t stress too much on that idiot poster. Him and another and another genius Swans supporter ( I’m reasonably convinced they are the same person , what are the odds of two king knobs spewing the same hatred on all things?) is notorious for being experts on everything . It really should be addressed by the mods . And they knuw SFA about footy . I mean Swans supporters?? ReAlly !
Too much hate in their lives..

I hope he recovers and gets his health in order. A diabetic not taking the disease seriously is just madness.

Back on the subject all the best Robbo, I dont mind some of his work.
Love Robbo, love his passion and his love for the game.
Don't always agree with his take on it, but respect the fact that he approaches the game and reporting like he is an every day fan.
Like: Robbo
Dislike: People calling for his removal from 360 in a 'get well thread'.

I don’t remember him coming up to Queensland. Interesting.
Aaaand I'm done. Back to Robbo, not the biggest fan of his on 360 (or Gerard's for that matter), but never good to see anyone going through any serious health complications. Hope he's on the mend and can get back to talking up the bombers 
You need a new remote control more than he needs to quit his job to satisfy your desires.
