Deven Robertson

A serious competitor who might not be a star, but he has added plenty of grunt for the Eagles this pre-season. At one point after giving away a free kick for high contact, he argued with the umpire as to why it should’ve been holding the ball instead. His big-body around the ball gave McCarthy space to work into but Robertson also put a step on his opponent heading inside 50 to prove he has some offensive tricks as well.

Hopefully they don’t **** around and actually allow him to be the main extractor in the middle
Yes! I don't want to see him shoe-horned into the HFF. I could settle with wing if he can read the play and has good disposal.

All due respect to the Rowan, but I'd hope Robertson has a couple more strings in the bow than "professional boxing bag".

Very honourable of Splinters to ask Dev to gloss Luke Shuey so that his wife [who's standing next to him unless I'm mistaken] doesn't spontaneously combust from cringe. Odd behaviour.

Aside from that go well young man, I'm coming around to this idea of him playing regular first grade footy after kind of writing him off as Beagles acquisition during the trade period.

RoJo was a vice captain for a year -> Dev captain for two years
RoJo once finished third in the Woosha Medal -> Dev Top 2
Rojo played over 150 games -> Dev over 200
RoJo played in a Premiership -> Dev 2 premierships
RoJo is the head of Wealth Management at Entrust -> Dev CEO

We've basically drafted the next Don Pyke (but who will play more games and captain the club too)

Fun fact - we’ve only had 11 players play every game in a given season across the last 4 years with a high of 5 in 2024. Last year we only had 2

And we’ve had just 24 players total miss 3 games or less in a single season in those same years

So, yes, if Dev doesn’t miss a game he’d almost be guaranteed a top 10 finish in the B&F
