Another massive blunder by the recruiting department. I don't think Ballantyne/Suban will ever be as good as this kid. The worst thing is the club was well aware of Robinson thanks to members like me and somehow rated Ballantyne and Suban ahead of him. F-ing annoying.

I was a big fan of him pre-draft, looks a gun. Also even bigger than i thought he would be.
 
Well unlike you bush turkeys who must use Robert Walls as your talent guide I said before the draft we should take Robinson with our second pick. Frustration is a feeling that only happens when people who do no wrong see others do wrong. Which is why none of you feel it I guess.

I resent being called a turkey :thumbsd: ;)

But also like to again say it is his first game so lets just wait and see hey :)
 
Suban was a good pick and if Ballantyne can genuinely crumb then I wont mind Fremantle using pick 21 to get him.

I was surprised when we picked Zac Clarke at 37 when Neville Jetta and Robinson had slid so far.

If it makes you feel any better I was surprised we picked Ballantyne ahead of a sack of potatoes... I don't think he'll work out in our side compared to other clubs... it'll be Medhurst all over again...

BTW - you really don't do yourself any favours by making claims like that, unless you get the regular opportunity to piss in someone's ear at the club... GJ has better street cred in that department, and that's saying something...

And what pick did he last to? Carlton's third..

Carlton rated him as a top 10 player from the draft, and our staff were astounded when he was still around at our second pick. If we hadn't traded away our second pick we would've used it on him so it worked out well for us in the end.

But I'd reserve judgement on your kids for a few years before you start flaming your recruiting staff.

i havent been on this site long enough to have seen many of your posts, but you seem to be a bit of a tosser... honestly neither ballas or suban have played an afl game. jesus christ, robinson was good but he wasnt that good, what kind of a dick would make a statement like that? :confused: suban will be a jet, ballantyne will probably average 40 odd goals a year for us, you really need to take a look at yourself
 
Ok don't hurt me.......... as I support both teams obviously stoked with young Robbo, but longterm think Suban is a much better pick. He has the footy brains and skills to execute, whereas Robbo gets by on ADD and enthusiasm, apples and oranges for me.

With the benifit of one games worth of hindsight , it looks like you won one and lost one Memories.

You were adamant that we take Benny as well.
 
Bit early...
I rated Robinson and hoped we'd take him at some stage but I'm happy with Suban who will be better player for us, that's for sure. Balla, well....we haven't seen him at the AFL level so we'll wait and see for that one.

Memories, did you just go on the dream team scores???

Robinson was OK but not that great, at least 2 of his 3 goals (and maybe all 3) were from free kicks and 50/50 ones at that. Hell one of them he got marched to the goal square on the back of a 50m penalty.

He's looking good but you seem to be over rating him a bit.
 
Well everyone who wants to say Suban/Balla/Clarke will have a better year than Robbo put it down here so at the end of the year, yet again, we can see who on this forum knows something about football. I wasn't basing this Robinson thing on one game either, I've seen a lot of him as I have been residing in Tasmania for a while.

And Ripper, getting Ben would have been for free (minus a slot currently taken by another risk), so even if he only played one game and sucked it wouldn't matter, but you act like it would have cost us something. He was among Richmond's best tonight either way.
 
He was ok...nothing startling and his kicking is awkward...

Right, you mean how he kicked three straight with no behinds? One on the run from the boundary, led the team in tackling in the first half, and all when the game was there to be won.

Granted he did go missing in the second half, but it's likely his fitness levels need to be raised, he was rotated more, or he doesn't like it when there is no challenge. ;)

what do you base this on? present you're evidence for your arguement...

You and me both were big fans of Mitch pre-draft.


I still simply cannot understand our drafting of Ballantyne. Absolutely nonsensical... as for reasons pointed out at the time there was Richardson and Garlett that would be available late if Ballantyne was taken.

Absolutely stupid...
