John Rombotis: Difference between revisions
Undid revision 552496072 by 58.96.125.138 (talk) No basis for this edit, as pointed out many times before, and certainly no hint of an argument made here. |
As pointed out to you in further restatement on the Brad Boyd talk page - If Fitzroy had merged with Brisbane to form one club, we wouldn't still exist as an independent club, would we? |

AFL career
Fitzroy career (1995–1996)
After four appearances in 1995, Rombotis managed to play every single game the following season but it was a poor year for Fitzroy, and he experienced just one win. He gathered the only two Brownlow Medal votes of his career for a 29 disposal effort against Carlton. It was however the club's final season in the competition, before their AFL operations were taken over by the Brisbane Bears, and the subsequently-named Brisbane Lions did not sign Rombotis.
Port Adelaide career (1997)
Instead Port Adelaide, preparing for their inaugural season, picked up Rombotis with the sixth pick of the 1996 AFL Draft. He struggled to make an impact in his only year at the club and was traded to Richmond for Chris Naish.
Richmond career (1998–2000)
In three seasons, Rombotis was not able to get regular games and after an injury riddled season in 2000 was delisted.
Post AFL career
After leaving the AFL, Rombotis continued to play metropolitan football and had stints as coach of Belgrave and Roxburgh Park. He was also vice-captain of St Kevin's Old Boys in 2004 when they won the VAFA B Section premiership.
