Luis Robert is back in action, and if you want somebody to blame for his absence, you might want to point a finger at Keith Law.
Robert has a tendency to get hurt around the time when Law can see him in person. From a chat last month:
Robert: How difficult has it been to assess Luis Robert given his lack of playing time and injuries? I keep hearing that it is difficult to evaluate power when a player has had hand/wrist injuries. Is there anything you could see that would suggest the power would come once he is fully healed?
Keith Law: He might be the AFL guy I most want to see, because I keep missing him and he just hasn’t played that much, period.
It turns out that Law again didn’t get to see Robert for himself:
