First game weeks away I would hope the club is planning something to remember arguably "The Greatest Demon" of all time!

Almost six months since his passing and given his stature not only as a Melbourne Legend but an AFL one I would hope some sort of Supporter recognition is afforded this Legend of the game??!

At the Start of the year I hope the club has thought about this?

Does anyone know anything?

Hnmm a few thoughts

What about a walk from Fed square to the first game gathering collections for Cancer/ Heart research? Given he had issues with both why not allow all who walk to take up a position on either wing ( on the ground) and show highlights of his play. The collections might be arranged into the configuration NO 2 in the centre of the ground?!

That's just an initial thought?

What about playing for a cup in memory of say Rob Flower / Ted Whitten on occasion of our game Vs The doggies??

Just a few "Random thoughts!

Anyone else have a suggestion??

I suggest thousands of attachable white number 2's we can put on our backs for the game!

Its just so crazy it could work

hey D'Landers

Has anyone heard if the Club will be honoring Robbie Flower's life, come Round 1?

I tweeted the footy club a week or so ago, but heard nothing. Appreciate they'd have a bit on plate this time of year, some on here seem to be 'in the know'.

Either way, it'd be good if something were to be planned, legends like Tulip, don't grow on trees.

cheers

So you should be sorry Shadow - seriously I know you are only being light hearted.

Presume the cheer squad will have something to say on the banner BUT agree much more is warranted.

In my 60 odd years following the Dees I have Flower as the best ever Demon followed by Barassi - may be a big call I know - he didn't play in good MFC teams let alone Premierships but he was sensational.

Would love to see a statue near where the Jimmy Stynes one is - or anywhere adjacent to the ground - asap - he certainly deserves it. Will that happen - I have no idea.

Robbie's life was celebrated after he passed away. It was done appropriately and beautifully. In the future hopefully some lasting memorial like a statue would be good however I'm not in favour of an annual commemoration I think that would be tacky.

Nothing from the club, on website

Hugely disappointing not to be recognised in the season proper I feel. Might ring and speak to someone tommorrow

In fact unless there are forces at work behind the scene planning something I would have to say an indictment on the club!

A great Shame!

How hard one minutes silence before the game and show some video highlights??

I feel certain that there would be something in the Pipe PF

Let's create an unofficial Robbie Flower Wing on the MCC Members/Olympic Stand side for all our home games at the MCG.

Can be unveiled before the start of the Gold Coast game as part of the pre-game antics that generally go on.

Don't think there's any need for anything on the banner or in the cheer squad.

Something like the above I'd imagine would be exactly what PJ was alluding to - supporters moving on with a level of respect for the past.

I believe something is planned not sure what, but definitely something occuring on Saturday according to my Sauce!

I hope it is befitting of Robbie and his stature in the game!

Haha come on picket, you know the rules, it has to be in the form of a riddle!

Would love to see tulip get recognized

Thanks for listening, MFC. If you want any more ideas, you know where to find me.

Cheers.

To me it was already his wing. The shining light in the long dark years and brings back memories of often the only reason to make the long walk from my place in Port Melbourne to the ground.

A very fitting tribute by the club to the best player never to win a brownlow (he deserved about 3 of them).

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
