It is one of medias great conundrums - how he continues to be a staple part of this nightly show and how he is the chief football writer at Victoria's biggest newspaper let alone the local free rag. He offers nothing. Nil. Nada. to anyones outlook or analysis of what has happened on or off the field.When is he not embarrassing?
It may be my imagination, but he seems to have gotten even worse since last year.
The shouting, waving of arms, head in hands responses as he becomes emotional are as unprofessional as his total lack of preparedness, inconsistencies or lack of understanding of significant footy issues.
Last night as they showed vision of Essendon players going at Sicily after his kick on McGrath, Robinson shouted "look at the players reaction, they are the best judges". Three minutes later, Gerad said "we'll get the players reactions shortly (meaning Boak and Howe, the 'players night' guests), they are the best judges of these things". Robinson waved his arms yelled "no they're not mate, they are not".
To me he really is like the resident drunk at every pub who is passionate about his footy, but in reality knows very little about it and makes absolutely no sense.
The show is always far better for his absence from it no matter who takes his place, and the sooner his first round of gout for the season kicks in the better.
