Mark Robinson's pre-season predictions

[Macpie]

If I recollect
Essendon - top 4
Pies - spoon


what does it actually take to get a gig as a football writer besides a beer gut?

 

[Browney2006]

Sorry, remind me again where Essendon are on the ladder?

Fair call but do you reckon the pies will be wooden spooners?

 

[Didaics]

Not only does it take a beer gut, but you have to be surley, dismiss every other opinion other than your own with contempt, and pump up your own team to the max.

Hope you had a shizen day Robbo.

pie fans getting ahead of themselves?

I rate essendon still higher than collingwood

Have a look at the tipping tallys for the staff of the Herald Sun and The Age one day. There's like one person out of the lot who's even respectable. Most of them have less than the bloke coming last in our work comp, and he's from NSW and knows nothing about footy.

I know tipping's tough, but it just puts in perspective the opinions of 'experts' such as Sheahan and the others when they are so woeful at predicting what teams are good enough to win footy matches.

Mark Robinson absolutely hates us. He has got no respect for the Pies.

To me Mark Robinson is the worst writer in football. He always picks against us, and tipped us for the 2007 spoon. What an idiot!!

I saw the fat one in the MCC today.
Nothing more than a Ringwood raised bogan who knows little about AFL and gets paid for it.

Well if that is the case there are a lot of people at your work who don't know much about football. I wouldn't take footy tipping as basing how much knowledge people have on the game.

And is getting paid a heap more for writing about his passion than any of us here are. Good luck to him.

 

[A Warrior named Lica]

Yeah what he said!

 

[lihei]

I rate essendon still higher than collingwood

and I rate bacteria higher than Port Adelaide

 

[jefffff34]

I heard him say (before Essendon lost to Carlton) that he expected them to be 9-0.

speak for yourself


trouble is - who wants to read about the passions of an obese essendon supporter?

 

[oneyedhawk]

The bombers are soft. Thats why the pies won, they wanted it more.

did you say that Mark? silly boy!

 

[oneyedhawk]

Hey macpie. How good is heath shaw travelling this year. You have a gun there.

 

[Didaics]

I look forward to hearing from the "Bendigo-Barge-Arse" throughout his various media outlets through the tail end of this working week.

handy kid - remember well when we were ridiculed for taking him under father/son by eedjits who have long since stfu

Yeah I heard that on SEN too. What a joke. Worse still, KB was falling all over himself rushing to agree.

do that let that fat eedjit on the radio?? say it isn't true. he has ZERO credibility

 

[morgoth]

Robbo is walking head-line, says the most outragoues things to get noticed and get people talking. You know what it works. If we didn't have idiots like him stirring us up it would be a pretty boring game.

 

[Bifrost]

Yeah, most ANZAC Day matches are pretty close - irrespective of where the two teams are at form-wise. I wouldn't take too much away from the game in terms of ladder finishes except that the Dons' kids played pretty well and the Pies' kids played bloody well again and the signs for both clubs' futures are looking good.

Somehow I always manage to tip the loser of the ANAZAC Day match. What can I say, it's a talent.

 

[evertonfc]

To be Robbo or Macpie?

Have my views in nation's top selling newspaper or be an anonymous nobody on an internet forum...

Tough choice.
