Robinson

[BlueBelle]

Great interview! That's what you wanna see! Honesty and excitement all rolled in one!

 

[drusswaylander]

Loved his game

Could have even gone past Special K as my fav player

I just love blokes who have a red hot go, especially when it is backed up by ability. He will need to learn to protect himself a bit better though. I can see why the boys were taking bets on when he would get knocked out

And for those that have been holding out for the interview with Robbo at the end of the game, it is now up on youtube.

Here it is:

Great interview - Robbo is a character!

*edited for Robbo's level of excitement*

 

[Effes]

I can't see the fact that Johnson being a good kick will be the reason for him being in the side, alone. He will need to play much tougher than he did on Friday.

You don't think he played hard enough?

I thought he was very good when it came to 50/50 contests.

 

[triplezero]

It will be interesting to see just how many no. 12s will be on the back of kids as early as round one this year, regardless of whether he plays or not.

Mitch made me the first one It debut vs North Melbourne.

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Wow , a hard nut Ranga, theres something new.

 

[The BHB]

Thou was particularly impressed by the way ye olde Wild Thing worked so hard gut running off the ball, yet was still able to deliver with presicion kicking once the thing was in his hands.

 

[Sublime]

Wow, he has A.D.D?

We learn something every day!

You're right there - definitely a colourful character.

It's not your standard interview of "credit to the boys" and such.

Yeah i'm pretty sure A.D.D. is part and parcel with the rogue Ranga gene. 100% proven science fact from your friend Sublime.

Yep, good point. Watched a replay of the game a few times now. This guy might have a ferocious attack on the ball, but he is also very very talented. Thought his kicking was excellent in that game - good distance and accuracy, and picked the right option on most occasions under pressure. It was all natural to him. His close in work with the other midfielders was great as well. And when he does give away a free kick, his opponent will feel it big time. Should have gone top-10 in this draft, easily.

 

[triplezero]

Looking good there triplezero.

Q. What is it exactly you are doing there?
Too many bevvies in the bar or just your best Fevola impersonation

Haha, I didn't realise it looked like I was doing a piss. Was just pretending to be my brother.. Without the red hair.. and muscles.. and athletic ability..

 

[krayfesh]

I knew what you were getting at 000.

Pretty obvious.

 

[douggy]

alot of clubs passed him by in the draft because they were worried about his personality. His interviews at draft camp were interesting to say the least.
As long as he plays football like he did tonight then we have an absolute beauty on our hands.

But if people are wondering why he slipped so late in the draft then have a look at his interview with tim watson after the game. classic.

hahaha what a crock of shit. thanks for making me laugh on a seedy sunday tho.

You live in a crock of shit - but still keep a sense of humour. Effort .

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Dont you love the way that Robbo has that real tuff hard at it Ranga player, what a bargain at pick 40, and alot of clubs will be kicking themselves for letting this bloke go. Also really impressed with Chris Johnson, the guys kicking skills are brilliant and he is alot better than all those Melbourne supporters tryed to lead us to beleive.

 

[thylacine60]

If he plays a single Bullants game we are kidding ourselves. No way do we have the depth to play him in the magoos. A born star and cult figure.

 

[Stick Flick]

Agreed Thylacine, he is a ranger through and through. I love him already. I think he plays all year doesn't he? Particularly like the obvious affection the rest of the team has for him. Must be a good bloke! Is it just me or could Mrs Hickmott have had another son?

 

[thylacine60]

He's a total psycho, even scares me. Who'd want him coming at them with his eyes spinning counter-clockwise and all those bony knees and elbows whirring away. Instant cult - it's pretty rare and we are so lucky to have him. Before it's over other clubs will be pushing for a Royal Commission into how he slipped to 40. We'll no doubt lose draft picks out of it.

 

[SurreyBlue]

If he keeps that energy up, will need to rest him every 2nd game just so we can try and get him through without him tireing round 11.

 

[blues4flag]

Mate, you could lock him in a field with a footy dangling out in front of him out of his reach, come back in the morning and still find him running after it.

 

[Silvagnis]

Didn't kick as well as he did against the Roos with the added pressure Hawthorn creates.

Will be a player, but is young in body and skills.

Robbo isn't overly quick as one of the commentators noted yesterday.

I'm still confident that Yarran will light up the big stage quicker than Robinson and lift when the real stuff starts.

Yarran has first class skills, pace and poise.

Richmond's small defenders are pants.
