In hindsight, Roberton concedes he made two critical mistakes throughout this period: he wasn’t completely honest with the club’s medical staff and that he simply did not work hard enough.
“I probably should have been more upfront with the doctors earlier and actually told them about how worried I was about my ankle and my future,” he said.
“If I had have done that earlier it may not have wiped off my entire year the way it did.
“I guess sometimes I saw myself just going the motions at trainings. I conceded that I couldn’t sort of run so my attitude became lazy.”
Roberton’s honesty is refreshing. He speaks plainly and openly and is unfazed by his own candidness. His baby face is juxtaposed by a five o’clock shadow that in reality has probably taken days to acquire. Above all else, there is not a hint of ego in his body.
He wears the ‘nice guy’ tag off the field, but isn’t interested in carrying that demeanor across the white line.
He said he had minimal movement to me where he has gain 10 cm more movement since he had the last surgery. That's quite a considerable amount. He looks like he could make a move into a tall midfielder now he has his movement back. He was supposedly a very good at athletics as a kid.

He was an excellent Javelin thrower.
A handy attribute for a midfielder.

Not sure Roo, Bruce and Paddy would like him spearing them into the forward line.

A fine tradition at St Kilda.

Robbo's definitely been playing with more confidence and has shown a bit this year. Whether he has the skills and decision making to make it long term I'm still not sure.

They bash into things and can tumble down stairs. Better for a kid to just crawl and try and stand rather than some stupid device that stops them from developing normally
