I yearn for a Robbo one man show similar to the one hosted by the late Clive Robertson’s News World - titled AFL World it’s just TGO taking to his disciples via the medium of the box every night

They should give him a slot on channel 64 / SBN.
Yes - perfect

My Samsung telly has like a thousand extra channels. I don't know where they come from or who watches them..but "1001 with TGO" has a nice symmetry to it.

Clive Robertson also had a show called Beauty and the Beast which was very successful back in the 80s.
Basically a talk show with him playing the old curmudgeon with a panel of well known women talking about the issues of the day and viewer questions.
Fox Footy should 100% bring this back
TGO at a big desk with Kath Loughnan, Neroli Meadows, Sam Lane etc about the AFL issues of the day.
The girls being all progressive and enlightened and TGO being a six pack in as the show opens and just pining for the old days.
Would be the highlight of any week

How about Point of Robbo, where every now and then there's a five minute sermon inserted randomly into the TV schedule where Robbo robbificates on some random point or another, getting quite worked up to the point that by the end he can only glower angrily at the camera

The first week or possibly even longer, could just be on the topic of him getting knifed!..naming names, airing grievances, gossip mongering.. the Sloshy stuff, err JUICY stuff.

I think we need Robbo doing the horoscopes. he can tell us about the moon and mercury retrograde.
(as for BATB, I don't recall the 80s version but do recall the more recent 90s version with Stan Zemanek)

What is Robbo’s dart of choice?
Cleavy
Hall of Famer
"Robbo was a talented centre half-forward growing up in Bendigo playing for Sandhurst before moving to Melbourne where he played for West Preston in the Diamond Valley League and North Old Boys in the amateurs. (He also coached for two seasons at NOBs).
What was obvious to football fans when they bailed him up was Robbo knew exactly what they were saying about their team. He was a footy junkie, he watched everything, eight games a week for 13 years as the chief writer because he knew to do the job right it had to be that way."

was it obvious??
