Robbo was ok, didn't care that he wasn't all clean cut like the rest of them and wore his heart on his sleeve.

A breath of fresh air if you ask me. Love how wound up get gets by the same things that annoy the rest of us footy lovers - whilst everyone else in the media just tow the company line and brush it under the carpet.

yes, he's not the most polished - but it's like listening to a bloke talk footy at the pub.

Was the perfect Ying for Whately's very much by the book Yang.

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

I’ll write a letter saying we need a “Keeping up with the Daicos’s” every week for you.

I want to see what he eats for breakfast

 

[Pistol Night]

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

Imagine what creative genius he will unleash without the nerd to crush all his ideas

They don't eat or shit. Wastes training time

How can you hate a guy that's a complete nuffie like the rest of us?

Loves new jumper designs, putting on hats and other merchandise.

Industry will be worse off without him hosting.

Exactly! Ppl are so critical of him, but he's just one of us. Loves a drink and talks footy just like we all do. Not like the others that are all so politically correct and cleansed.

I do it for free with no audience most nights. Hes my idol

My uncle met him once, he said he acts like his shit don’t stink.

airing from the James Hird shrine, like the Batcave

Probably smells like beer

Good news, FO and take wheatley with you.

They're not Bert and Ernie

The Age is reporting Whateley is staying at Fox.

The Age is reporting Whateley is staying at Fox.

Was hoping they were reporting he has the pox.

 

[calculon559]

Looks like Robbo's already flown the coop; J. Riewoldt in the chair tonight

 

[sabso]

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

50/50 geelong/essendon bias is hardly any better. AFL journo shows aren’t meant to be taken seriously, despite the best efforts of hutchy Eddie et al.

 

[jannissary]

i wasn't familiar with your game, TOG.

we don't deserve him

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Zero mention of Robbo, very weird.

Side note I’ve always disliked Jack Riewoldt but he’s growing on me, I think he would be excellent on 360 FT.

Jack has always been good in the media. He would be a good replacement for Robbo.

he's already overexposed.

Thanking him now (15 years)

 

[Pistol Night]

Thanking him now (15 years)

Carry him out of the studio on your shoulders you ungrateful bastards

 

[HairyO]

Thanking him now (15 years)

And Whately said he is returning in 2025. Prime opportunity to replace Robbo with a serious broadcaster.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Turned on, saw Jack, switched off.

This might surprise some coming as it does from a Hawthorn fan but I'm going to miss Robbo.

Apart from his reluctance to blame Hird for the Essendon drugs scandal, I found him to be far more objective than the other bloke, who's much less unbiased when discussing his beloved Cats.

Thanks for the memories, Robbo!

Edit: I agree with most that a journo should replace Robbo. If Kath could be talked into returning to Melbourne, she'd be ideal.
