How good was Robbie Flower!

Featured Replies

Once again, 10 out of 10 to Mark and Ash for their efforts.

And those with mailed copies send the bucks in now.

Its for the Club and Mark's and Ash's efforts have been voluntary.

I think they deserve your support and diligence.

 

Much to my embarrrasment, I haven't read this thread for ages ('cos I know how good Robbie was!)

Is it too late to get a copy of the DVD?

My kid's have never seen footage of the great man play (and this big kid would like to relive his childhood)!

I was just about to send off a money order to the Demonology/Demonland fund for "disadvantaged" supporters. Is that the sort of payment you are asking for?

Well, i'll try and get the dvd in the next week but not 100 per cent sure of how to upload it to torrents. Is it the same as using imesh or limewire where you just share folders? Lert me know & I'll try to get it up for you ASAP? Always willing to help a fellow demon.

Any luck getting your hands on a copy mate?

Markc - I hope it's not too late to pay you a visit to collect a couple of Robbie dvd's?

A little late for this thread but being an old fart I can't separate Barass and Robbie Flower.

Both dynamic in their own ways and each provided inspiration and leadership in every game they played.

When I saw Barass, (Lord tap to Barass, bump, handball to Bluey Adams etc) I always thought he was playing for the memory of his lost father; he was stamping the ground and was taking no prisoners.

Robbie on the other hand played through pure skill, balance and talent rarely equalled.

The point is, sometimes grit and determination can equal god's given gifts.

Dead heat in the Melbourne Championship Stakes.

[One of the most skilfull players I can remember since the early 60's. What Geoff Tunbridge did some of the time, Robbie did all the time. If he had a weakness, it was the set shot at goal in a real pressure situation. Otherwise he was the epitome of grace on a footy field.

I have to disagree with you there on one instance about Robbie Flower's kicking for goal from a set shot in a real pressure situation.

As a Footscray supporter I vividly recall the Round 3 clash of 1981 at Footscray.

Robert Flower taking a strong mark(it could nearly have been described as a screamer) deep in time on with Melbourne trailing by 5 points. He was around 35 metres out kicking to the Scoreboard / Geelong Road End (that's the right hand end as you notice on television) and he put it through.

Soon after the siren went with Melbourne winning by a point.

So I don't know about other games where he may hot have been as steady with pressure kicks from a set shot, but this day at the Western Oval he certainly was. As an 11 year old going on 12, back then in 1981, I can still recall it very clearly.

Yze mate

I am sure i have a couple left that people never picked up I am looking for GDG from Demonology , when I find them I will advise at worst i can get another copied but without the printed picture on the disc.

My favourite Robbie Flower game was actually the game when Jacko did the famous donkey kick, which was histerical. It was at Princes Park, I think it was about 1981?? What was more memorable for me that day was Flower's game on the wing and think his opponent may have been Rodney Eade, but I'm not sure. I can remember time and time again Kelvin Moore kicking out from full back only to see Flower beat his opponent one on one time and time again and deliver the ball back into the forward line. It was the classic old school wingman against wingman battle and Flower put all his tricks, skill and grace on display. At one stage he was about to be tackled and placed the ball on the ground, danced around his opponent and then scooped it up with one hand to send it back into the forward line. He had many battles like this against some great wingmen. Stan Alves, Keith Greig, Ricky Bahram etc. Ah those were the days! The only problem was, the rest of the team were pretty useless so we din't win that many. Oh well, it was fun to watch Flower. I think that is one reason he is so fondly remembered. We had litle else to enjoy but, "Gee Robbie played well today."

mark, you are a legend

I just read on Demonology you take a donation for the club, so let me know how we can do this transaction

Youre a legend!

I'm still hoping that someone with the DVD might upload it so ex-pats get a chance to download it as I'd love to see some flower highlights.

Anyone??

That would be awesome

!

 

If you guys are making a RF hightlight DVD i'd definitely want know as almost every Dee's support alive :) I'm suprised the club does not create more DVD's that what is available.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
