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!

    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 !!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
