Robert Neill (born 5 January 1974) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Sydney and St Kilda in the Australian Football League (AFL) during the 1990s.
Originally from the ACT, Neill appeared sporadically for Sydney before cementing his spot in the team for the 1994 season when he managed 15 games. He however failed to appear in a single game for the seniors the following year and crossed to St Kilda.
Neill played in St Kilda’s 1996 AFL Ansett Australia Cup winning side - the club's first AFL Cup win.
He was a regular in the 1996 season and despite only playing the opening two games of 1997, he was selected on the bench for the 1997 AFL Grand Final. After being delisted he went to Norwood where he was used as a forward and topped their goal-kicking five times.
Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
