Early life

Robertson grew up in Northam, Western Australia. He played junior football for Manning and also played at high school while boarding at Aquinas College, Perth. [1] His senior football was played with the Perth Football Club in the West Australian Football League. In 2019 captained Western Australia at the 2019 AFL Under 18 Championships and won the Larke Medal as the best player in the tournament. His performance saw him selected by the Brisbane lions with their first pick in the 2019 AFL draft.

AFL Career

Robertson made his debut in Round 1 of the 2020 AFL season against Hawthorn at the MCG. He played 15 games in 2021 and earned a two-year contract extension. He made eight appearances in 2022 including all three of Brisbane’s finals.

He was subject to widespread fanfare following an incident where his shirt was ripped in a match against Collingwood at Marvel Stadium in Round 23 of the 2023 season. Robertson continued to play with the ripped shirt until he took it off completely following a tackle from Beau McCreery. His ripped shirt was ultimately auctioned off for the Royal Children’s Hospital charity ahead of the 2023 finals.
