Fox Footy co-host Mark Robinson looks set to leave AFL 360 after 14 years in the hot seat

[Mibie]

Good riddance. Bumbling twat

 

[Thrawn]

There was great synergy between Robbo and Whatley, they'd bounce off each other well and while Robbo plays the buffoon, it was balanced by Gerrard's eloquence. I think people will end up missing him. He's given us a great laugh over the years.

Yep, well said. Hard to argue with any of that.

Will be interesting if they go with an 'analyst' type like a King or Montagna or if they go with another senior journo like a Jon Ralph, Damien Barrett or a Sam McClure.

I'm no fan of McClure but i can see TV producers liking him for a role like that given how opinionated & polarising he is. As a TV guys once said to me "people tune into to watch people they hate"

100 per cent.

I’ve become very attached to the Monday edition of NRL 360 precisely because it’s the one featuring Buzz Rothfield every week and he’s the journalist who gives the most off the wall views and for a time, while I don’t hate anyone, I had disdain for the bloke - now I’ve come around to actually liking him in a strange way because of his willingness to say what he thinks and it makes for the most entertaining edition of the show each week by a mile

This is outstanding

Not often you see Gerard turn into a gigging mess.

Goodbye Robbo.

Off the bar where you can swear whilst slurring at the footy on the TV. Never saw much insight or knowledge in him.

To be honest it’s a back page show; there’s not supposed to be a lot of deep insight from the hosts realistically it’s supposed to come from the guests. His writing is more the place for that to come out and even then he writes for a tabloid not a broadsheet so it’s never going to be terribly in depth but you don’t cover the game for decades without knowing a bit about it

Players and coaches nights. About as entertaining as a poached fart. The only interest sometimes is seeing if Robbo missed the back of his head when he shaved. The worlds most stealth mullet

 

[Fat Tony!]

While Dunstall's "jokes" make The Bounce unwatchable, he would be the best replacement for Robbo AFL360. He is insightful, fair and has a gravitas that comes from being a legend of the game. There wouldn't be many people in the media that would be able to rebuff Whateley when he goes on his pretentious rants, but Dunstall would be one.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Great now we’ll have 100% Geelong bias on 360.

Write a strongly worded letter to Fox Footy saying the Nerdling is on notice and you’ll be monitoring his Geelong/Richmond differential so plenty of Richmond content please

 

[kickazz]

Agree, I thought the whole point of 360 was it was hosted by journos and there view on the game and news.

Replacing him with an ex player and it won't be much different to On the Couch.

Totally.

The ex players are all too boys club and look after each other.

Get Jack Ginnivan in there on coaches night with Ken

You know that would be 10000 times better than listening to all of the pundits who have chosen to speak on their behalves recently.

I like Dunstall but I recon he's too straight laced to replace Robbo.

100%. The standard bullshit all the players/coaches roll out is shit TV. Ginnivan saying “Hey Ken, that flight to Sydney ended well?”

 

[Pistol Night]

Unleash Triple M Chielf and Gerard would be cringing in the corner

 

[Cleavy]

now that Robbo has all this spare time, expect a cameo on The Front Bar and then he'll appear every week after that because the hosts can't get rid of him.

That Furphy tank better be topped up. He'll still be there the week after. A 2 parter

Should go for Dunstall to replace him for sure.

Just give us Dunstall and Kath and the show is immediately 100x better.

Robinson. meanwhile, may take his talents to Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle, where he would join fellow News Corp footy reporters, including Jay Clark, Lauren Wood, Jon Ralph, Glenn McFarlane and Scott Gullan.

oh please no, he is absolutely the wrong fit for that show

so the only solution then is to give Robbo his own show
