    Excuse my ignorance, but does the club have an award named after Robert Flower? I mean no disrespect at all to those who awards are already named after and do not want any of them to be displaced, but if there's not an award in his name surely we should have one. If there is not already a Robert Flower trophy or medal, what do people think would be an appropriate award which would honour our universally accepted best player of the last 50 years?

    Today would have been the great Robert Flower's 60th birthday. We miss him dearly.

    Actually, I'll answer my own question. I think we should give any player who plays the same number of games for the Melbourne Football Club as did Robert Flower a medal called the Robert Flower medal (or trophy). To date, only David Neitz would be eligible. It would reward consistency, performance and loyalty as any player that plays 272 games for the MFC must have achieved each of those three attributes, just like Robbie Flower did.

    Good idea.

    I remember being a Melbourne supporter going to primary school in the early 80's,as sh*t as Melbourne were back then I could still be proud we had the best player in the league.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
