You say no to Saad, but want Mitch ?

I would much rather have Saad imo. Mitch could be good as a depth player, but having him in the best 22 would be a bad sign.

Dan Richardson explicitly said yesterday while we want another "inside midfield bull", we have no interest in Mitch Robinson. The club doesn't want to recruit players who have had off-field issues. The same thing goes for Jeff Garlett.

Richmond considers dumped Carlton midfielder Mitch Robinson as a delisted free agent

    Michael Warner

    October 27, 2014 8:00PM


AXED Carlton hard-nut Mitch Robinson will meet with Richmond today in the hope of his reviving his 100-game career as a delisted free agent.

The Tigers have expressed interest in throwing the dumped Blues utility an AFL lifeline and will interview him at Punt Rd this morning.

Brisbane is also considering recruiting Robinson, cut by the Blues last month after the club failed to find a suitor at the trade table.

Richmond is keen to bolster its midfield stocks and made a play for Melbourne’s Jack Trengove and St Kilda’s David Armitage during the trade period.

The Tigers will use five draft picks on young talent in next month’s national draft but could secure Robinson, 25, for free as a delisted free agent and place him on the rookie list.

The delisted free agency window opens on Saturday with Taylor Hunt (Geelong), Jared Petrenko (Adelaide), Sam Blease (Melbourne) and Shaun McKernan (Adelaide) in the mix for a second chance.

Richmond’s medical due diligence saved the club from a major mistake in recruiting Trengove last month.

Melbourne had presented the Tigers with a scan taken in September which showed Trengove’s injured foot was recovering from surgery.

But the Tigers carried out their own testing and discovered a new problem, forcing them to pull out of the Trengove trade.

Robinson would be seen as a risk given his repeated behavioural breaches at the Blues but is a proven contested ball-winner.

Taken with pick 40 in the 2008 national draft, he finished seventh in Carlton’s 2011 best-and-fairest and ninth in 2012.

Like I said, not against picking up Robinson but it is quite bizarre if we weren't prepared to risk Garlett - a far more talented player who fills an arguably more desperate need- due to off-field issues....even moreso if we don't use pick 70 as a result....and considering we've signed up everybody, it looks as though that would be the case unless we were to go with 39 on the main list and only take 5 rookies instead of 6.

Post by: 🏅Dooks on October 28, 2014, 09:08:56 AM
I don't mind if we pick him up. Will add depth. Better than Newman, Grigg, others.

His knock is disposal efficiency yet hes had games where its been around 80%, so perhaps its a consistency or thing or something that can be worked on.

Defensive midfield pressure is huge and runs through the lines on the attack and takes the game on - something we need.

Yeah garlett would have been nice but it's gone...

Correct William.

Its hard to know what they are after exactly. Hard nuts like thomas and robbo is okay but where is our bloody speed and little forward?

Outside of his year last year how can anyone fault what garlett has done in terms of numbers. Its simple we still dont have the right culture to deal with these blokes.

AFAIK if you want to rookie a DFA they have to enter the rookie draft like everyone else and then hope they're still there at your pick. Like last year with Thomas.(not that there was ever any danger of another club taking him.)

can someone explain to me how we have 5 nd picks.
we cut 5 from the list proper ohanlon, jackson, king, edwards, and helbig.  that would create 5 picks. thing is we have promoted miles to the list proper  taking one of those spots.
what am i missing here to me to use 5 nd picks we have to cut another player.

actually when you look at the slim pickings that are on offer when it comes to the delisted f/as robinson with all of his flaws is probably the best performed of them all.
 we can add him to petterd and thomas who should provide depth when injury hits. our trouble is you know thomas petterd and robinson will play most games because they quite frankly warts and all give more than the younger blokes who should be forcing them out.
in fact we have so few genuine mids in reserve,  you know they will play a lot of senior footy.

Mitch Robinson set to play at Brisbane despite late push from Richmond

Mark Robinson
Herald-Sun
October 28, 2014 8:00PM


DUMPED Carlton wrecking ball Mitch Robinson seems certain to play for Brisbane next year despite a late push from Richmond.

The Tigers met with Robinson on Tuesday where they presented a one-year deal. The Lions have presented a two-year contract.

Robinson’s manager Tim Hazell refused to confirm his client was moving north, only saying Robinson was weighing up the two deals.

“Both meetings were successful and we’ve just got to weigh up what’s best for Robbo and his family and lifestyle opportunities,” Hazell said.

“Richmond were extremely professional. They put an offer to Robbo and so has Brisbane and we’ve just got to decide which suits him best.”

But the Herald Sun understands Robinson will sign on the dotted at the Lions when the delisted free agency opens on Saturday.

The tough utility wants a fresh start and feels getting out of Melbourne is the right option. His relationship with new chief executive Greg Swann, the anonymity of Brisbane and the emergence of the Lions as a side on the rise were also significant factors.

The Lions midfield now looms as a major weapon next season, with Robinson’s rugged approach set to complement the playmaking skill of fellow arrivals Dayne Beams and Allen Christensen. Key pair Daniel Rich and Matthew Leuenberger will also return from injury

Richmond has been keen to bolster its midfield stocks and also made a play for Melbourne’s Jack Trengove and St Kilda’s David Armitage during the trade period.

Robinson, 25, was cut by the Blues last month after the club failed to find a suitor at the trade table. He had worn out the patience of Carlton chiefs after lying about his involvement in a 5am city brawl.

Other delisted free agents looking for a second chance from Saturday include Taylor Hunt (Geelong), Jared Petrenko (Adelaide), Sam Blease (Melbourne) and Shaun McKernan (Adelaide).

Match the deal Tigers.
No doubt in my mind he would in our best 22.
Originally I didn't care but I think we actually need him.
Brisbane could overtake us as a side in one trade period.
Time to get off your high horse Tigers, it would be fantastic to have a team full of gentlemen, but this game sometimes calls for some poo.
I personally couldn't give a toss if anyone is out till 5am, as long as they are getting a kick.
We have been down for to long, time to do something!!

Honestly thought clubs would have been queuing up to get Taylor Hunt absolutely free as a DFA. Would almost be a walk up start in every side outside top 4. Pretty disappointing if we didn't at least enquire.
hmm i dont get the glee with him.
i see a bloke who struggles to find the ball and when he does get it is poor.

i know robbo has his flaws as well but from a purely performance perspective id say robbo wins easily.
we sure could do with a decent run with player id be happy to have either for that role.
i think we have to remember with both we are looking at limited players who add a hard edge.
hunt is limited or has been to date. not a big possesion winner and yeah i know he has a run with role a lot of time. good taggers hurt their opponent going the other way. is not a clearance player  theres few c/p few tackles and imo his skills are a little iffy.  imo clubs have avoided him for a reason.

if given a choice id take robinson thanks. imo both are better options than grigg as a role player and that role being a tagger.

If you mean in terms of the size of the gap between their respective on-field and off-field intelligence, then I agree.

William your opinion on here is held in very high regard.  Please repeat.

Really?

Don't want Robinson don't rate him

cannot believe we didn't go after Garlett especially in light of what the Demons gave up for him. He was a bargain at pick 70 odd

Agree

Yep Jacko was a fine off field leader with a balanced head and represented our club in the best possible way.

Robinson is a cancer that the Blues just cut out and threw away.

Last thing we need in our club is a party boy with ADD.

Glad we didn't get him.

can someone explain to me how we have 5 nd picks.
we cut 5 from the list proper ohanlon, jackson, king, edwards, and helbig.  that would create 5 picks. thing is we have promoted miles to the list proper  taking one of those spots.
what am i missing here to me to use 5 nd picks we have to cut another player.
Our 5th ND pick will be used on rookie upgrading Miles to the senior list. So we currently have 4 live picks. If we pick up a delisted free agent (eg: Hunt) then that will be reduced to 3 live picks.

We had our full quota of 38 senior listed players. Newman was veteran listed but he was still 'inside' our senior list. What changed was the AFL brought in a rule in the last year or two to allow clubs with less than two veterans outside their senior list, to upgrade a rookie(s) to their senior list with needing a player to be on that club's long-term injury list. That's what allowed Thomas to be promoted prior to round 1.

thanks one eyed so why are the club spinning it as 5 nd picks. the reality is we only have 4 nd picks and if we take taylor hunt as a f/a we will only have 3.

there can be no more delistings unless we delist a contracted player so we probably cant even take a player we really like who slips in the nd.
hhhaaarrrrggggg  they sure are embracing the nd ive never heard so much spin and bull dust come out of their mouths.

the more i look the more it looks like they will only use  picks 12, 33, and 52, my money is still on at least 3 of the rookies being mature types as well. yep we sure as hell are investing in youth.
locked and loaded gentlemen lets not forget it.

RICHMOND

Mitch Robinson (Carlton, 25, 100 games)

Why Robinson? He's a hard midfielder who brings versatility, loves to tackle and can play in the forward line. Fits the bill when it comes to the Tigers' desire to bolster their midfield stocks with ready-to-go players and his presence will support their prime ball winners.

Likelihood: 1/10. Robinson met with Richmond but it appears as though he's headed to the Brisbane Lions after it was reported they trumped the Tigers' one-year offer with two.
