Mitchell Robinson (born 7 June 1989) is a former professionalAustralian rules footballer who played forBrisbane Lions andCarlton in theAustralian Football League (AFL). Robinson was named the Brisbane Lions club champion in 2015. In addition to his AFL career, he represented Australia in the2011 International Rules Series. Robinson is also a professionalFortniteesports player, Twitchstreamer[1] andYouTuber.[2]
Robinson was born in Hobart, Tasmania. He played junior football in Tasmania. In 2008, he played eleven games for theTasmanian Devils Football Club in theVictorian Football League, as well as two games for theLauderdale Football Club seniors in the Southern Football League, and one game for theTassie Mariners in theTAC Cup. He featured prominently at the AFL Under 18s Championship, winningHunter-Harrison Medal as the best player in Division Two of the competition. He was drafted by theCarlton Football Club with its 3rd round selection (No. 40 overall) in the2008 AFL National Draft.
Robinson made his AFL debut inRound 1, 2009 againstRichmond at theM.C.G., scoring three goals.
Robinson played sporadically in the AFL in his first two seasons, playing 26 of 46 possible games for Carlton and spending the rest of the time withVFL-affiliateNorthern Bullants.[3] His breakthrough came in the 2011 season, when he won a regular place in the team, and became a key ball-winner in the midfield; at midseason,Herald Sun commentator Mark Robinson heralded him as the league's most improved player.[4] He went on to finish seventh in theJohn Nicholls Medal count for the season,[5] and was selected to representAustralia in the2011 International Rules Series.[6]
Robinson quickly became popular with Carlton fans for his hardness at the ball – often in apparent disregard for his own safety, due to his shark-like tendencies to the point where his style is sometimes described as "kamikaze".[7]
Robinson was involved in some off-field incidents during his time at Carlton. He was involved in a fight at the 2013Big Day Out festival, and was fined $1,000 by the club as a result.[8] Then in August 2014, Robinson suffered a fractured eye socket when he andJeff Garlett became unwittingly involved in a brawl outside a nightspot at 5 a.m. on a Sunday morning; Robinson lied about the incident, telling the club he had sustained the injury in a boxing session at training, and he was fined $5,000 by the club.[9]
Robinson was delisted by Carlton after the 2014 season, having played 100 games for Carlton, after lying about the incident with teammateJeff Garlett.[10]
In 2014 Robinson was signed as a delisted free agent by theBrisbane Lions.[8] In 2015 he was the joint winner of theMerrett–Murray Medal as Brisbane's best and fairest, alongsideDayne Beams,Stefan Martin andDayne Zorko.[11]
Robinson announced his delisting from the Brisbane Lions on Instagram, following their 71-point loss to Geelong during the 2022 Preliminary Final. He officially retired a few days later.
