OVERVIEW
Described as a “coach tester” by Mick Malthouse, Mitch Robinson is one of Carlton’s more outgoing characters.
On the field, Robinson is a tackling machine. He ranked fourth in the team this season for average tackles, and third in contested possessions behind Chris Judd and Marc Murphy.
Season 2013 has been an up and down one for Robinson. The 24-year-old was a standout for the Blues in the wins against GWS in Round 10 and Richmond in Round 21, but he also spent time in the VFL to regain form.
Off the field Robinson is a key contributor to Carlton media, co-hosting The Carlton Podcast. In 2013 he has also hosted tours of Visy Park for US rapper The Game and the Wide World of Sports.
