Well, I'm sympathetic to Robson's position.

1. He left us to go to Essendon, but he is an administrator, not a footballer, and is entitled to look at any position. Administrators are more easily replaced than footballers, and their leaving causes far less disruption than a key player.

2. He is clearly the Escape Goat for the rest of the Essendon. He'll take the hit. He can be blamed for all their problems, and the coach and players can probably avoid the worst of the punishment.

3. I have met him and he's a reasonably nice guy.
Scape goat!
I'm sure Clarko had a quiet chuckle

Doesn't look like such a good move now.

It is a shame in some ways, as I really liked him when I met him. Main reason it hurt when he left us was that he went to them!!!! Maybe Karma
Of course its Karma!

Don't tell me you don't believe it FFS.

BTW the next resignations will be far more deserved.

robson is a traitor who walked out on our club whilst holding a position in favour of essenscum...i am amused at his "resignation"...f**k him

the afl are trying to weasle there way out of the essendon mess, they were dragged in by the ACCC when they approached the government as part of there bikie drug trading investigation...not only should the coaching staff be sacked, in accordance to asada rules there points must be stripped (rules are more than 30ml of illegal substances taken by more than 2 players points are stripped, also injections are only allowed in certain circumstances)....essendon are guilty, don't bullshit us AFL due to commercial factors (delaying and stalling) apply the rules and punish as it is called for in this instance

Blah blah blah, Robson is a flog.

Now the main question is, do I tip Essendon this week thinking they'll get up to prove the doubters wrong or do I tip the Tigs thinking that this week will be the straw the breaks the Essendon camel's back?

Hmmmm, first world problems! :(
haven't you learned anything in the last 30 years? Premiershipmond always lets you down.
