is a versatile option for Sydney Swans coach John Longmire. The Tasmanian is also one of the best endurance runners at the club and can take a strong contested grab. Sydney rookie-listed Fox in November 2016 and he’s since fought hard to become a regular member of the Swans’ best 22. He played 11 senior matches in 2019. Draft history: 2017 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 34.

I wonder if his career is now set as he can sign with Tassie VFL (worst case) in 2026 for 2027 start as a legit option….

If he wants to Robbie would walk into a gig with Tassie. Would b terrific in a development role.

Reckon Robbie is widely admired.

 

[Tedeski]

Love this guy.
The only one to put some sunshine in my day in the 2022 GF debacle against the Cats.
Showed up some of the big $$$$$$ boys on the list.
I hope he is getting some decent coin now, since he’s had to scrap together a career with hard work.

He has his teaching quals and has good leadership skills, super disciplined. Any club should be delighted to have him. Not sure what his ties are though. Would you be in a mad hurry to go back to Tassie?

Yep, one of the most beautiful places on earth in my opinion and besides, Robbie would have the pleasure of His Royal Highness being able to watch him in person every week - who wouldn't crave that?

 

[SwansProudly]

Happy #100th Fantastic Mr. Fox

 

[wills2g]

Happy #100th Fantastic Mr. Fox

Title has 200 but yep Fox has worked on his game to be a mainstay in the side

Well deserved

 

[Tedeski]

A footballer's footballer.
He has worked hard & deserved every one of his 100 games.
His best was the lone hand in the 2022 GF loss.
Showed more ticker than most of the team that day.

Milestones are obviously huge achievements, no one who reaches any of them would ever be complaining about how they should've had more. Robbie Fox

is one of the few players who would be within his rights to complain that he should've had more - not that he ever would.

In all the times he's been dropped, subbed, even delisted, it was never because he was bad. Week after week, autopsy thread after autopsy thread, we've never been on here lamenting a Robbie Fox

performance.

If he was a young draftee, rather than a mature-aged recruit taken as a rookie and only playing 3 games in his first year in the system, there's an alternative reality where Fox easily could've ended up wanting to explore his options elsewhere, on a list with less talent than ours has often been, and the rival interest would genuinely be there.

Fate didn't turn out that way, and so it was our fortune that he was ours to keep, and he's earned every year he's been on the list.

Go well Robbie!

I am the proud owner of a signed #42 jersey.
My kind of player. Stood up in a grand final when others folded around him. I hope he has a great one hundredth and that he makes 150 (he's still in fantastic nick).

Like - because Robbie has done very well & should be proud.

Dislike - because it’s a milestone game & we all know how they end.

Recognition on AFL.com on Robbie's well earned and hard won 100th;

How living on the edge brought balance to Swan's unlikely career

By his own admission, Robbie Fox never thought about being an AFL player. Now, he's about to crack the 100-game mark

www.afl.com.au

'Horse' (John Longmire) has believed in me from day one.

"My second and third year I was in and out of the team, I wasn't playing good footy so for him to back me and get to a Grand Final, and play important roles each week, it's pretty cool to get to 100 games."

 

[Adnico26Parker]

 

[The King!]

Still gets dropped or moved rather easily at times. Probably suffers from being a little
short , but he has been fantastic for 100 games.

Well done to one of the few who turned up in the 22 grand final.

Well done to one of the few who turned up in the 22 grand final.

Still gets moved because he is so fit, so able to play on smalls, mediums and talls. Probably liked for being a little
too versatile and he has been fantastic for 100 games.

Well done to one of the few who turned up in the 22 grand final.

With Mills going down I just want it on record that Robbie Fox

was probably our equal best player on the field in the 2022 GF debacle. First man I want back in the team.

 

[The King!]

He is versatile

 

[Jazny]

He definitely plays his best as a defender.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Glad we have depth..release the Fox!

 

[Dk007]

It's time.

 

[McGowan3]

It's time.

No brainer. Straight in.
