Was Big Carl at the 'G on monday?

I was in the Dining Room and didn't see Carl. it was wall-to-wall footballers both past and present. Flash, Greg Wells, Tingay, James McDonald, Sheedy plus a shedload of others....

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
