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 !!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
