Never forget
Robinson tweeted about Magpies player Alex Fasolo, who returned to training today following his announcement that he was battling depression earlier this week.
"Good drugs - Clinical depression on Tuesday, training Thursday," Robinson tweeted
Never forgiven Robbo for that. I hold life long grudges against media who treat us/our players with contempt. Probably irrational, I know, but I can’t forgive and forget when it comes to the Pies.
I bloke in his position (high profile media) should know better about the impact of reckless comments such as this. Unfortunately, Robbo has form in this regard. What disappoints me more is that he is rarely held to account for his thoughtless comments.I think it goes beyond Fasolo being a Pie.
Fas was clearly struggling and unwell and for Robbo to use that as an opportunity to make a joke is beyond insensitive and cruel, it was reckless and dangerous.
He only has to look across the desk every night at 7pm to see the w***er responsible for the majority of itHere's an article from the SEN website.
The particularly relevant bit is the comments from Whateley.
The media are largely responsible for how Jack is being treated, not that it excuses the scumbags at the SCG.
Ginnivan treatment “despicable” as Magpie slams booing “grubs”
“I think that’s just awful.”www.sen.com.au
Nah. Unless you want it to escalate. The Goodes booing was escalated by people being told not to boo. Most of the continued booing wasn't racism, it was sticking the finger up at authorities telling us what we could and couldn't do at the footy.
Demonstrating, or acting out, against authority is not limited to "2 year olds". It is a symptom of a society or institution that does not allow freedom of expression. Provide avanues for people to feel heard and they won't always resort to the only option available. The AFL is typical of many totalitarian style institutions that quash what they perceive to be dissent, and any voice against 'their' desired narrative is considered dissent. Look at the signage around AFL grounds. "Report anti-social behaviour, text ...." What constitutes anti-social behaviour? What is actively followed up? Is there due process in any investigation? Is there even an investigation? Classic 'our way or the highway' mentality. The Goodes situation was no different. The AFL effectively stated 'we will not engage in open and honest dialogue, we will mandate expected behaviour and punish everyone else'. In the case of Adam Goodes, a wonderful opportunity to explore social issues was lost where there may have been productive conversation. I suspect that it was as a result of some railing against being made to feel uncomfortable.... But what do I know?So basically those booing were 2 year olds emotionally. Right.
If you want to view those who said don't boo as parents placing appropriately dictating behaviour on their "babies", then yes your analogy holds.So basically those booing were 2 year olds emotionally. Right.
This is what makes money for people like Robbo ... create more and more clickbait ... never written anything with substanceHe's running with the, she was asking for it, defence.
I struggle to understand how he's got his job. Can't imagine him resulting in more tuning in than switching off.This is what makes money for people like Robbo ... create more and more clickbait ... never written anything with substance
I think it reasonable to say that he wasn't always like this. There has been a long and slow deterioration into the mire he now finds himself....I struggle to understand how he's got his job. Can't imagine him resulting in more tuning in than switching off.
Not sure if you watched much of it, but when he was away sick 360 turned into a legitimately good programme.I struggle to understand how he's got his job. Can't imagine him resulting in more tuning in than switching off.

I personally think that the continued booing of Goode,s after he pointed out the harm it was doing, was incredibly poor behaviour and agree with Whateley's recent criticism of the AFL community's behaviour towards Ginnivan. But that doesn't mean that maliciousness or racism or whatever is the main motivating factor for many of those who boo or booed these guys. For many it's a pantomine divorced from the reality. For others it's a protest against authority, etc...
I think he should not open his mouth to talk, if he’s been drinkingRobbo is establishing a narrative where he, and his like, are not held accountable for their contribution to the inevitable mental health issues that will manifest with these young guys. He is displaying very poor form and should be held to account.
Therefore making it permanently shut?I think he should not open his mouth to talk, if he’s been drinking
"………………imagine never hearing his voice again,!
Selwood has bee rested a lot obviously., and this is only this year.All this media backlash and hoopla over Ginnivan like he's the free kick king and he doesn't even feature lol but they used him for the headline photo!
Luckily Joel Selwood is there to represent. ️

And Robbo with his implicit bias disagreed.Hats off to Gerard Whateley who has stuck up for Ginnivan and called out the behaviour and targeted attacks by media and footy fans as disgusting, despicable and rotten.
