How good was Robbie Flower!

[Whispering_Jack 30,054]

I would also appreciate a copy to go with my grainy old tape of Robbie highlights which is a copy of a copy of a copy ...

Ash - does it have Robbie's magnificent run from the back pocket to hff and goal at Windy Hill?

Unfortunately no. I've heard alot about this goal, but are yet to see it.

Thanks to the wonders of Fox Footy in the off-season, my Robert Flower highlights library is growing by the month.

I did a little bit of prep work for the video last night, and one thing I noticed was his exceptional marking ability. For all his poise and grace on the ground, Flower was an incredibly strong aerialist.

Obviously this would be one of the reason he was also able to play key positions on occasions, eg. state game vs WA in 1982.

Too true Ash. He was exceptional in the air and many people forget that when they think of Flower as just a good wingman. The closest I seen to Flower is Hird. IMO their judgement in aerial skills is similar.

Many thanks for your collation skills.

I agree with your analogy of Robbie F & James Hird. Pity was the Teams Robbie Played in were very poor-and he spent a lot of time playing in that AWFUL light blue Jumper.

I was so glad with what happened at Footscray in '87 (still my Favorite Saturday afternoon ever at the footy)The week after wasn't bad either. R Flower Starred that day

Pity He never won a Norm Smith-The entire crowd would have cheered.

Ahh well that's life

R Flower is a True Champ-Read his book

[Hannabal 4]

Flower was faster, more evasive, and a better mark.

Hird has influenced the result of more games.

At their best Flower is the better pure footballer but Hird arguably more valuable. Hird will be/is rated more highly by history.

If I had one criticism of Robbie it would be the defensive side of his game. His opponents could definately get a kick on him. But I'm splitting hairs. I love the guy.

I would be very grateful to you and Ash for a copy.

If the MFC were to win a Premiership, Robbie should present both the Norm Smith medal and premiership cup!!!

I hadn't read this thread for a while, so had a quick look to see what other accolades had been bestowed on the one and only, and low and behold Ash 30 and Markc productions have taken off.

The thought of having a dvd of Robbie to view and show my kids has sent a tingle right through my ageing body.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that I would be eternally gratefull to be added to the list of recipients.

Great work!!!

Only 72 days till we whip the Doggies!!
