Robbo always beat up on opposition who liked to play 'bruise free footy'.
Just so happens that we are the ones playing bruise free footy nowadays.

Robbo was like Betts in that they both feasted on the crap sides.

Don't remind me. MM didn't like Robbo so he was on a hiding to nothing and as soon as an excuse came along... well, the rest is history. There are those of us on this forum who, despite sometimes wayward disposal, valued and rated Robbos attack on the aggot and man, it was just great and lifted team mates from time to time.

Was in our best players in every final he played for us. The players that like the hard stuff tend to step up in the finals. Brad Sewell was the same.

One of the things I really loved about Robbo, when the going got tough he'd get more desperate - just about the opposite of some of our present crop. Yes, the hypocrisy of MM re Robbo is breath-taking... he likes blokes who stand up under pressure and he made excuses for 'bad boys' at Rottingwood and then managed them into good contributors. How long is Robbo's contract at BrisVegas?

Robbo was sacked for lying to the club and the people who did the sacking were higher up than Mick.

Remember the days when The Duke was around, players stood a bit taller. Seems we are more about image at times , and forget it's still football.

thats the reason from my understanding..
if true, the club had no choice
