Matthew Robbins will play his final game of footy on Saturday after a stellar career that included 146 AFL games.
The former Western Bulldogs star returned to the Hampton Rovers this year as a player and has been a valuable asset to the club. He has played all but one game and kicked 27 goals throughout the season.
More importantly, his football experience has been invaluable, especially to the younger players, with Robbo passing on his knowledge to the rest of the team throughout matches and at training.
Matt’s AFL career with the Cats and the Dogs spanned 12 season from 1996-2007, culminating in 146 games and 135 goals. He retired from AFL in 2007 before embarking on local footy, first returning to his junior club Ormond. He coached the Rovers in 2010 and the club welcomed him with open arms this year, returning as a player.
Robbo will run out one final time this Saturday when the Hampton Rovers face Parkdale Vultures in the final round of the VAFA Premier B season at Gerry Green Reserve.
Everyone at the Rovers congratulates Matty on an outstanding career.
