[BillyElliott]

Loved this on the doco. And showed what an absolute delight our Bobby is. He's always laughing & smiling

He is a young good looking man who has survived cancer, has an amazing wife, kids and plays for the best club in Australia. If I was Bobby I would be all smiles as well.

 

[TradeDraft]

I reckon Bobby is going to go up another level this year

Has lot of Motivation to do so

 

[sr36]

Had a bad game, but we really don't need to put the blowtorch on someone every week. It's ridiculous.

Especially as a small forward. Can be very feast or famine

 

[Bianconeri]

I’d like the coaching staff to take a risk and play him as a high half forward that rotates on the wing.

With Josh Daicos at half back I think there’s room for another zipppy winger.

Given our teams set up looks solid though I understand why they don’t want to make that move.

His main draw back is his running is limited. If he had a massive tank he would be an absolute elite midfielder.

Would like seeing him get some of the footy upfield too. Just getting his hands on it, as he is so electric when he does

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Tried to play dry weather football on a night where you couldn't be cute.

 

[BillyElliott]

We don't know how much Krak's passing during the week weighed on his mind.

It felt like just one goal & a dedication to Krak would have lifted him.

He’s an elite small forward.
Every other club would love to have him.

 

[Brad Goodman]

A team with Bobby getting 20 a game might never lose, and he’d crack the ton for goals+assists.

Apparently that’s not the case, apparently he is thinking about leaving.

 

[BillyElliott]

Apparently that’s not the case, apparently he is thinking about leaving.

Yep. He'd surely be much happier playing with the winless Eagles or with the Dockers & their vanilla style of footy

 

[Bianconeri]

Set up Maynard’s goal, helped set up Schultz goal, had another two shots on goal and had four tackles himself. I’m not sure what the fuss is about his game was.

The fuss is that he isn't hitting the goal column. He's been fine but not great. That's okay. I thought after the all-star game he might get to great.

Kicking as many goals per game this season as last

 

[Bianconeri]

I’m hoping he’ll get great as well but he doesn’t look like an Eddie Betts or a Charlie Cameron type high volume goal scorer.

He looks more like a link up player with a few tricks playing deep forward.

 

[Pistol Night]

The fuss is that he isn't hitting the goal column. He's been fine but not great. That's okay. I thought after the all-star game he might get to great.

He’d kicked 5 goals in 3 games before last night. Nothing wrong with how he’s going at all

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

It was a dirty night, weather wise last night.
Sargeant Schultz stood up.
Bobby kept cracking in and tackling.
He also dished off to Billy, who munged it to Sargeant!

 

[Anzacday]

Could be worse; he could play like Jesse Motlop every week.
I know who I prefer.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Nothing to see here. He’s keeping busy. Helped set up at least one goal from memory and should have nailed a set shot. Nothing wrong with the way he is putting in. Results won’t come every/week, it’s the nature of the position.

 

[manicpie]

Bobby is fine, I'm more worried about McCreery

 

[Jelly Bean]

Kicking as many goals per game this season as last

Yeah, but I don't think we can say that it was a great season last season.

 

[gouki88]

Yeah, but I don't think we can say that it was a great season last season.

For small forwards he was top 10 in goals (lots of people tied) and goal assists, and pretty close to the top for score involvements. I would rate that better than fine.
