Im only a pup Bobby but yes-I hear that RDB was quite handy.
 

Robert Flower is the most skilful player to ever put on a Melbourne Jumper

Sean Wight was completely fearless

Ricky Jackson had blistering speed

When flower got the ball in the backline the crowd would go nuts as he would start off on a magical weaving run towards goal leaving intended tacklers in his wake

Ricky Jackson in one pocket and the Hilton hotel in the other!

RJ was good but not to be metioned alongside Flower ,Schwartz ,RDB ,Lyon etc.


So many players but to pick just one...Flower. The only truly super elite player I have seen in the Red and Blue. I they didnt share the Victoria state captaincy he would have been captain every year he played.

He was magical to watch and even today i doubt anyone could tag him out of a game. As stated could play all over the field and loved the MCG erupt when he got the ball in one of our darkest days...

Flower, for mine. And if I could do a second clone, I would clone him again. And for a third, a toss-up between Barassi and the Ox of 1994.

One of the most remarkable things about Flower was the little things he did, and his consistency in doing them. I remember an old photo of Flower shepherding for someone, and Robbie looked like a stick holding back a beach ball. Nowadays he would be a lot better protected, but in the 70's and 80's he was often injured because of his light build. Yet he never whinged, and kept coming back and doing the team things over and over again. How Peter Moore finished ahead of him in the 1984 Brownlow will remain forever one of life's great mysteries (and injustices, IMHO).

 

Ivor Warne-Smith - 2 Brownlows and a runners-up . Could play just about anywhere on the ground . Captain-coach . Represented Victoria on numerous occasions . Norm Smith's right hand man ...

In more modern times ....Flower followed by Wells ... love to see these 2 running around in today's footy ...

Barassi as well of course . If they retrospectively awarded 'Norm Smith Medals' he could have snagged at least 2 of them .

Schwarta pre-knee. The Wiz buzzing about. The Wrecker spear tackling. Duke Spalding at CHB. Robbie on a wing. Allen Jakovich in a pocket.

Gawd we'd win the flag by 15 goals!

Shwarz pre-knee, Todd Viney full of G&D, Robbie Flower, there's a dozen blokes

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
    Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
