Robbins, who was from
After making his AFL debut in 1996, Robbins changed clubs again for the 1997 AFL season due to the merger between the Bears and Fitzroy. A midfielder, Robbins struggled to cement a spot in the Lions' team as they already had a strong combination in the middle. He made 11 appearances in 2001, Brisbane's premiership winning season, but did not participate in the finals.[2] Robbins was then delisted and he nominated for the 2001 AFL draft, where he was picked up by the Kangaroos with the 54th selection. He played in all of the Victorian club's 23 games in 2002 and featured prominently again in 2003, however he spent the 2004 season in the Victorian Football League (VFL) with Port Melbourne.
