No announcement who it is yet, according to family's wishes. But saying a Melbourne legend of the 70s.

I feel sick.

 

im worried its Robbie Flower

Sen reporting MFC legend has passed away. They have not said who it is as there waiting for family to find out.

 

Yes i heard that too....Who is it this time???

Another kick in the Guts to us all.....

A star from the 70-80's I heard

Maybe a Hall of Famer


Some speculation on Bigfooty that it may be Robbie Flower. Please not be.

 

a legend of the 70s and 80s

fair dinkum... if it is, then that's just totally f$cked up

There was only one....... :(


I have heard that my all time favorite player was very unwell and I suspect it is him

Cardiomyopathy affecting our alltime favorite son

Robbie flower is what I was told

Please no.

Being a medico I dread to say it is

Just tonight was told and with 3 aw announcing passing of legend it is my all time legend

Our past players have not enjoyed a good run in recent times

Unfortunately some incredibly sad news tonight guys, with the death of the great Robbie Flower. Robbie had dramas with his heart recently and was placed into a coma a couple of days ago only to lose his battle this afternoon. Was the reason I started following this great club. Farewell to the great man


If the information is correct, it can only be the great man.

Hoping it is a mistake.

Am close friends with Robbies nephew and received a call about an hour ago. It's a huge shock to the family at the moment as you would expect.

RIP great man.

Loved the way he played.

Was and will always be a true champion

What a horrible day for the MFC

I don't choose to believe this


devastated, my childhood hero

Great player , very sad day for the family.

wow. So sad.

R.I.P Robbie Flower.

Although i was too young to ever have the honour of seeing you play, your passion for the game, ability to play it and uncompromising love for the MFC is the stuff of legend. You'll live forever in the hearts, souls and words of the MFC faithful.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
