Yeah, you're right, he should belt women like Brian Lake.
Roast The media - no wonder players don't like them and don't trust them

You're still missing the point.My point is don't cherry pick from the segment. Watch the whole thing
I watched the show.
It's not about who hit who.
It's about Robinson speaking his mind and getting criticized for it.

The comments were used as clickbait after the Lynch/Collins incident (as they were made after the Brisbane game). He made the remarks while gaming. While there's nothing to stop him voicing his opinion, anyone in the media has every right to have a view on it afterwards. I wonder if Fagan feels the criticisms of Mitchs comments were just. What do you think? And why can't the media be critical of comments made? Because you can't have it both ways. You can't accept some parts of the media saying his honesty was great while being critical of anyone who didn't think it was the smartest thing to say.

Who or what Mitch Robinson is talking about is irrelevant hence why I left any mention of who he was talking about out of the OP
These same media people (especially Wilson & Lloyd) want more access to players and want less filtered talk by players yet when a player gives them what they want, they attack him
Do you disagree?

Well i guess the issue is here it wasn't through the usual channels. Somehow the audio/vision has been picked up when Mitch was gaming. So i guess Robinson through his own nievity made the remarks thinking it wouldn't go anywhere. So in this case, the lines are blurred. I don't think this is the type of media access they are talking about.
Now, in the case of these remarks, some in the media have given it a nudge (as it's great click bait) and been all for it, while as we saw last night, others in the media aren't for it. So in point of fact you can't have it both ways. You can't accept it all one way. I think it couldn't have gone any other way given the nature of the remarks which has come to light. I wonder if Fagan thought they were harmless, great and open?
Sorry, I might need another coffee but your post doesn't make sense to me.
The whole point raised by the OP was the media want players to be more open and not roll out the standard vanilla responses.
When someone does, certain people in the media clip him.
Wasn't just about Lynch.
It was also bought up about his comments about not liking Selwood.
So what you're going to get in the future, is the club putting muzzles on their players and everything else
will continue to be vanilla.
I would've loved Lynch to come out and say "Collins gave me one earlier and I gave him one back".
Will never happen as the player will get slaughtered by his club and the media.

Read above buddy, i hope that clarifies better for you.
I don't think Robinson gives a poo what channels it was made.
He wears his heart on his sleeve.
The Selwood comment didn't get anywhere near the publicity that Lynch's did.
I'd suggest because he used the word w***er.
Anyway, I've said my piece.
And yet the majority agree with what Robbo said and don't think it made him look like an idiot, lynch on the otherhand does in fact look and act like an idiot....

I’ve turned into a mormon from reading this thread.......
The media want the players to be ‘open and honest’ and ‘characters’.
Except, not too open and honest (especially the ex players in the media who seriously can’t handle anything that breaks ‘the code’), and the characters need to be on script and not too much of an individual because they’ll either end up utterly terrified of offending you (Adam Goodes) or treat you like a outcast (Jason Akermanis).
It’s best to find the middle ground - be a ‘bit of a character’ but also, ‘one of the boys’ - say what you think....but also shill gambling aps.
Ultimately, be Campbell Brown.

yeah what about Dale lewis when he said drugs were rife in the AFL (2002?) He fooking got run out of fooking town by the AFL.Demetriou and his cronies.Well it turns out Lewis was spot on. I am pretty sure it wrecked his anticipated media career Fooking arseholes. The media did not let up on Lewis either, fooking pricks
Even if its true, the club would still be disappointed Robinson said what he did. As a fan I would be to. Made even worse its coming from Robinson. Someone with a far worse history of on and off field acts.

Perhaps she came in from a different direction (e.g. through the back), to come in unnoticed?
Regardless of what the usual purpose of the fence is, or how she got in, she (and her partner) knowingly did the wrong thing, and shouldn't have needed any security to be there to stop them.
Ah right, Lynch got fined for striking Witts because he didn’t strike him.
Thank you for clearing it up.

Uh, that still does not excuse her from cheating. If she wasn't attracted to him anymore you break things off. Such a poor take.

Who cares, really?
As someone who went attended Geelong Best and Fairest nights both now and in his playing career, this is pretty much it. He's a pleasant enough guy, but only in a blokey matey way. Life to him is what goes on in a footy club. He's a buffoon.
The funniest thing is the ongoing manufactured outrage that current or retired footy players act like...........footy players.
Among a strong field of hypocrites (that covers all supporters, and all clubs), the journalists remain pretty hard to surpass. The amount of stuff they know about that we don't would be mindboggling. But they're terrified of losing their contacts, either because they desperately need the attention, desperately want to be relevant, or are still starstruck fanboys. It's both hilarious and pathetic.

I have this notion that it was blindingly obvious but Billy missed all the clues
"Hey hon, me and Gary are going away for the weekend"
"Oh cool, where are you going"
"Poundtown"
"Cool stuff, send me a postcard"
