Smile, Reminisce have a look at this!

[ashdemons22 235]

I was to young to see the great Robbie Flower in action.

But my old man has a tape of the great on the footy show in the late 80s in a handball comp. I put it on youtube last year.

Have a look if you havent already seen, very rare.

Also does any one actually remember him on it?

Enjoy lets all smile.

Robbie for President?

[ThreeOneSix 953]

That's amazing.

[Real Demon 232]

What a star!

My favourite player as a kid growing up, and had the number 2 on the back of my jumper.

Greatest memories as a Dees supporter being a kid and the 87 finals run, with the team doing it for Robbie!

Good times!!!

[BarnDee 287]

cool as

[Mega_Watts 70]

Good stuff.

I was also too young to see Robbie in action.
I've always wondered how he won only one club B&F? Can someone explain?

He was our best player for a decade, lead our brownlow votes 6 or 7 (?) times, but only one B&F?

That's amazing.

that was only handball in a studio...

you should have seen him play.

[demon-4-life 467]

Move the target!

[Brian Wilson 331]

Too skinny. We'll never be any good if we recruit skinny players like this guy.

[baysidedave 246]

watching the game at Footscray in round 22 '87 showed the Demons had some bloody good players and played with Guts and Determination, the total opposite to today. Reminded me what agreat player B.Lovett was.

[jnrmac 19,327]

I reckon Dom Barry weighs more than RObbie...

[Macca 16,173]

Put him on the wing now.

How's that? 5 x 10's ... like shelling peas.

Good stuff.

We had some very good players in his time at the club even though Robbie only played in one Finals series.

Fowler, Alves, Hardeman, Wells, Moore, Wilson, Healy, Johnson and Big Carl all had standout years for the club in Robbie's time. Still a bit baffling though.

Wells for a long time was a tremendous player for us. Greg was my favourite player until Robbie took over. Hardeman as well. In that time we always seemed to have 4 or 5 really good players. They used to play well seemingly most of the time (win or lose) Back then we lacked really good key forwards and forward flankers and not enough good backmen.

Alves, Wells and Flower was an excellent centreline for a few years.

Highly skilled! and on his left hand

Highly skilled! and on his left hand

He actually is right foot kick but left handed.

[nutbean 8,837]

sad but that video had more handballs hitting the target than we have had in the entire first two games.

[iv'a worn smith 1,979]

This is even better. Oh the memories!!!!!!!!!!

[Richo31 20]

A great montage of Flower highlights.

Robbin the great, as skillful as Pele and the courage of a warrior.

Great footage, thanks for that.

I was one of the unforunates who didn't get to watch him play.

Having said that, after looking at that footage I feel like "runs his full measure" would've been a pretty common phrase used when Flower was playing?

[Chook 14,616]

Looks like a braver, more skilful version of Cale Morton.
