Brisbane Lions youngster Deven Robertson had to have a club trainer rush a new jumper out to him during play after his No.2 guernsey was mercilessly ripped off against Collingwood on Friday night.

Robertson initially had it ripped by stand-in Collingwood skipper Brayden Maynard, whose attempted tackle did nothing more than tear the Lions midfielder’s jumper to shreds.

He was forced to throw it away altogether just minutes later when he got caught holding the ball and a lingering Beau McCreery finished the job that Maynard started.

After being held in something of a choke by the completely torn jumper, Robertson gave up on it and threw it away.

“There it is, the ramifications of the Maynard tackle.

“He doesn’t want to come to the bench. I have never seen someone enjoy this so much.”

Before he could arm Robertson with the new jumper, the Lions trainer had the task of retrieving the GPS unit from the old jumper, which proved slightly difficult.

After a number of amusing minutes, Robertson finally had the jumper replaced.
