Stats
Bio
Recruited from Old Scotch in the amateur competition, Jim Robison developed into a reliable defender for Hawthorn during a lean period for the club in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He established himself as a key figure in the backline, often battling against the odds in a team that struggled for on-field success. His consistency and determination were recognised internally when he finished runner-up in the 1950 Best and Fairest count, placing second only to club legend John Kennedy Snr. Robison played 89 games over seven seasons at Glenferrie Oval before finishing his career with a stint at Box Hill in the VFA.
