The latest in yesterday today, tomorrow segment contains the thoughts of Robert Flower!

Is there a more humble, self effacing, champion as he??

His passion and love of all things Melbourne Football Club certainly shine through.

What a magnificent human being!

Arise Sir Robert! Champion among Champions!!

That might have been then She Devil, but these days 99.9% of players want to win a flag desperately. That's the main reason they play the game.

I bet he'd take a $800k to 1m a year at a any club. Its about the cheque... Finals is just a bonus.

And most kids these days are obsessed with Facebook and have not heard of Copernicus or Galileo.

Doesn't make it right.

In this day and age, being obsessed with Copernicus or Galileo and not having heard of Facebook is equally wrong.

That is loser-talk if ever I've heard it. No wonder we never even made the finals.

Chook, I assume you were either too young or living in Perth (or both) to see him play but for a 40 year old like myself he is the best and most skilful player I have ever seen play for us.

He did OK in '87.

That an absolute champion like him chose to stay with Melbourne is honourable, and does nothing to sully his reputation. We still didn't accomplish much when he was there though. I wonder why that was.

Ah, Ron Burgundy, you are indeed a philipine! The great saying, those who know nothing about history just end up repeating the mistakes of the past. Hence Tony Abbott telling the world the earth is flat regarding Climate Change. Now, if he'd just heard about that fine gentleman Galileo Copernicus, a fine German Scholar, let alone heed his messages about the need to be scientific - and historic for that matter - we'd all be better off. What's facebook got to friggin well do with anything?

mrabbott doesn't truly think the world is flat, he just wants to be the centre of intention, & ontop, lest he falls off.

& like humpty dumpty, all his errors will be forgiven & fixed up on Thee day. he truly is a dangerous leader. its written in his horror scope.

Hnmm, Robbie was offered MASSIVE money to go to, I think ... Wait for it.. Essendon!!! in the early 80 s

Knocked them back on Principle it was never about the money. More about a beautiful word .. LOYALTY!

Enough said!

A fantastic player will remember for ever a few times him floating high bumping his opponent just enough to take the mark on out stretched hands and his dad introducing the very humble kid into the Red Legs room a long time ago

Good on ya Robbie !!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
