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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
