Hmmm. Thought COR would have gotten a game . Unless they have a specific role in mind for Robinson , defensive forward / tagging role maybe ..?

Good to have Jones back. Jury's out on Robbo.

I saw this earlier today and discounted it but now it seems that the alternate training bibs theory is back!

I am bemused that the selectors keep picking Robinson. Is O'Riordan injured AGAIN? He deserved getting back into the 22 at least. When he played a few weeks back, I was heartened by his quality and as someone else on this forum said, COR has the talent now to be the best Irishman we have had, kicks both feet, marks strongly, has real pace and is growing in confidence each week this year particularly. Robinson is just plugging along, good in NEAFL but not up to the next level. Disappointed if just overlooked by selectors

Sheesh grundy must not be well

Skeptical of both Jones and Robinson tbh

Looks like Florent in the yellow bib on the far left though.

Apparently Robinson has 46 possessions in the NEAFL.
Guess he gets rewarded.

Correct you are, Ugg.

COR surely injured as not even named an emergency! If he plays NEAFL this week then the selection committee are surely having a lend...

In saying that, I have no issue with Robinson being selected. Hasn't done a lot in the seniors but also hasn't done a lot wrong either when he got the ball, and took a couple of telling marks as well in a few close wins. Thought he was a little stiff being dropped last time.

Not a fan of Jones as he makes way too many errors for my liking. Here's hoping he proves me wrong and has a good end to the year!

I think that’s COR in the yellow bib about to pick up the ball in AB Swannie’s pic

There was also a training photo of Grundy.

[AB Swannie]

I personally would've gone with COR too but it really is hard to argue with 46 possessions and 16 clearances that Robinson accumulated in the NEAFL last week. I suspect he will play more centre/forward with Florent and maybe even Heeney or Cunningham spending more time back in Nick Smith's role.

Didn’t Cameron get 188 DT points. Why not reward him?

[Hotpotato]

Grundy ready to go but too slow against GWS?
They move the ball around without hesitation.

If there was another tall defender available then it might have been a different selection choice. As it stands I think the selection panel were happy to go with the six that played last week.

To bring someone like COR in would have meant shifting Newman or Florent up the ground. Both offered something different for us in our defensive chains. Although I’m surprised COR isnt an emergency

Also thought Fox would have received the nod over Robinson. He can fill in the same positions as Robinson but with the added bonus of also being able to play in the backline as a medium defender, in case another defender goes down during the game.
