Fagan ‘amazed’ by West Aussie recruit
WA’s former captain Deven Robertson will make his debut for Brisbane this weekend, impressing coach Chris Fagan after being drafted last November.
thewest.com.auHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting:
-
Deven Robertson, the former Brisbane Lions midfielder, has been linked with West Coast in the past as a delisted-free agent possibility, but the most current reports indicate he elected to remain with Brisbane on a two-year contract through 2025 after exploring his options. This has been covered in AFL reporting around late 2024 and 2025.[4]
-
In October 2024, there were clear indications Robertson was considering his options and that West Coast were among the clubs connected to him, though a decision to stay with Brisbane was ultimately announced.[3][4]
-
The broader context includes Robertson’s earlier rising-star-level evaluations and ongoing role as a midfield option, with his career having included a Grand Final appearance with Brisbane in 2023 before his 2024 decision to re-sign.[9][4]
Notes and caveats:
- The most definitive recent update appears to be Robertson staying with Brisbane through 2025, with contemporaneous reporting noting West Coast had shown interest previously. If you’d like, I can pull the very latest from AFL or club sources to confirm whether there have been any changes since 2025.[1][4]
