Goodbye Robbo: AFL 360's Heart and Soul Bids Farewell!

Mark Robinson steps aside from AFL 360 after 15 years, leaving fans reflecting and reminiscing on his unforgettable moments!

It's official, folks! Mark Robinson, affectionately known as 'Robbo', has wrapped up his time on AFL 360, a show that has been a staple for footy fans over the last 15 years. The iconic presenter made his grand exit without fanfare for the season finale, leaving his long-time co-host Gerard Whateley to deliver the news to fans, who were clearly blindsided by this unexpected shake-up. Their partnership was like two peas in a pod — a match made in footy heaven — and it certainly won’t be easy to fill Robbo's shoes in the studio.

As he bid his audience goodbye, collectors of footy memorabilia may want to get their hands on some vintage AFL 360 gear, as a ton of nostalgia swirls around their screen time together. The football world reverberated with tributes, with Whateley offering warm sentiments saying, 'Robbo, it's been grand'. It was evident that the friendship forged in those countless hours discussing tackles, wins, and losses transcended footy banter into something truly special.

But why exactly did Mark Robinson choose to leave? He has remained tight-lipped and, like a true sportsman, has left the media world with a great mystery—a secret straining at the seams. One could wonder if he was tired of the constant rule changes in the game, or perhaps he was ready to trade the studio lights for some quiet time on the couch, watching footy in his PJs! Whatever the reason, footy fans across Australia are left pondering.

Yet, one thing is for sure, Robbo's departure marks a significant transition in the AFL landscape. One thing's for certain, though; his contributions to the show have not gone unnoticed! Did you know that AFL 360 has been a platform for over 300 episodes and has garnered a massive following online? With his exit, viewers are not just losing a host, they're losing a memorable chapter of the show's history. Stay tuned, as we can only imagine what new talent will step into this legendary role, but for now, it's time to turn the page, and we raise our glasses to you, Robbo!
