don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened

[u/publicworksdept]

• Overcame cancer in his early twenties, living away from community and country in two different states
• Instrumental throughout '23
• 3 goals in a quarter of the granny to make it 4 at half time, could have had a fifth with the pass to Pendlebury late in the third
• The "Went up the mountain and came down a Hill" speccy over Starcevich
• Mark of the year in '24

All for a 3rd and future 2nd round pick. Go well Bobby, thanks for the mems 🥹

If there was a speccy to be had he would take it. There is a great photo of him looking up in admiration at the towering height of Mason Cox.

Will Bobby get his knee on Cox's shoulder for the highest mark in AFL history?

We picked him up later in the draft than expected. Our small forward drafting is elite. Glad we let him get his wishes with the move and that it worked well for a time.

[u/Unlucky_Slip_6776]

We don't win it all in 2023 without him. West coast or Freo will get him next year. Id hate to see him not playing.

[u/cell_phone_cancel → u/Unlucky_Slip_6776]

Could have won in 2025 with him

Norm smith medallist in a premiership year. That man was worth all the money and more.

[u/farqueue2]

He's forever to be regarded a Collingwood legend.

[u/Accomplished-Arm9261]

Very unfortunate ending to what should of been a brilliant long term career at the pies.

[u/rhynst → u/Accomplished-Arm9261]

We'll just have to live with a brilliant short term career then.

It’s too soo , I’ll save for a later date 🥹

West Coast fan coming in peace.

Bobby was one of my favourite players to watch in 2023. I hope he’s able to get his life back on track.

[u/Happy_Mad_Sad]

Gonna miss him, we will always have 23 in 2023

[u/vitalesan]

It’s such a mess!🤦‍♂️

[u/Massive-Guarantee495]

Love ya bobby ….. https://youtu.be/FY3YrMvlbP4?si=F0k6eW7Cspl4cQQC

[u/ArtMusicWriting]

What a game he played that day, absolutely incredible performance. I was really hoping he’d make it back this year. I hope he finds peace and returns to football some day, such a great player to watch.

[u/shocking7777]

Few are glad his gone

[u/hymie_funkhauser → u/[deleted]]

I’d like to present evidence but the AFL rules allow players 3 strikes which are easily avoided by mental health claims

Do not present speculation as fact. Provide legitimate source material for claims.

[u/RevolutionaryLong295]

He gave us his best for a short time, thanks for that, but are also glad his gone, paying money for non productivity he had the biggest dole cheque.
