What happened to...

...Russell Robertsons Dee TV spots? I noticed that he kinda went missing after a comment was made by a mysterious ex-melbourne player that is still involved with the club.

He only did them throughout the season didn't he?
 
I think he has more commitments with Channel 7 and the AFL now. He gave up his coaching job at St. Josephs as he didn't have time for it anymore, and with his increased role at 7 and the AFL he may not have the time to work at the club like he used to.

I could be wrong and they may be back in some capacity during the season like Bluelegs suggests, but I know that he has landed more jobs at 7 for the coming season.
 
Hope he still has time to do the gameday MC stuff. TBH it's all fairly cringe worthy but Robbo makes it just about bearable. Better than hiring old mate who does Richmond, Dogs, St Kilda games etc.

the ones regarding the tanking fiasco early in the piece (this time around). A few people around these parts (including myself) thought that perhaps the ex-player still involved with the club was Russ. The comments certainly seemed like they came from him, but nothing is known for sure obviously.
 
So I remember a DeeTV spot very late in the season last year (start of off season I think) where Robo asked Neeld something like what was going to be happening through the off season / start of 2013 and Neeld made it crystal clear in his answer that Robo would not be back next year...
I'll see if I can find it again.

Personally I don't think this is a bad thing, I always thought Robo was hanging on a bit too much, got the feeling he wasn't the best presence in the locker room (everything was always a bit of a laugh and so on and generally somehow all about Robo).

Fair call. I can understand getting rid of the stuff with the players while they're training etc but I really did enjoy the coaches office bits they did. Neeld never had the front up that coaches get at pressers.
 
Neeld didn't like Robbo for some reason, but he's a legend of the club and I'd hate to see him being kicked out because the current coach (with an 18% winning record to boot, so hardly a successful taskmaster as of yet) didn't like him.

Really? I never got that vibe. I always thought they were on good terms and they just took the piss out of each other. I can understand Neeld not wanting Robbo around the training rooms while the boys are at work though. As much as I love robbo I wouldn't want him distracting the players while they are trying to take training seriously.

Please don't tell me you are taking that from the Robbo show stuff. As those above have said it was clearly all in jest.

Would post video link from Casey on Saturday but I'm on my phone... Anyway, Robbo is indeed back.

Fair to say I enjoyed this line, about Viney's crowd-pulling ability: "he's just going to slay them isn't he!"
 
Not all of us.

Wonaeamirri33 hasn't logged on since December.

We should start up some odds as to when he logs back in. We've been talking him up as a big return for weeks but he's been a complete no show.

Worlds greatest prick tease so far. Bigger build up than Pink Floyd reunion at live8 :D
