Chopper Lovell. Hard at the footy. Yes and yes. One of our heart and soul types.

Excitement machine. No.

When a ruck rover goes goal for goal against Jakovich and ends up with 8 for the day it's pretty exciting

I suppose we define "excitement" differently, but for me R. Flower was it.

During some very dark days for the MFC, I only went to the footy to watch Robbie. If he was out injured, I went to the boozer.

We were getting flogged more often than not but you just knew Robbie would produce something that would make you stand proud as a Demons supporter and even draw admiration from the oppo.

He might take the ball and run and bounce - excitement.

He might beat an opponent (or two ) in a contest. - excitement

He might take a beautifully timed mark and then goal - excitement

He could do it all.

For me, Robbie Flower was unforgettable.

The thread is about the last 30 years. That does not include R Flower. He was an ex VFL Melbourne player 30 years ago on this date. As good as Tulip was, I think the thread is looking at post RF, hence he is not on the list. Otherwise let's include RDB or IWS in the equation as well

PREVIEW: Essendon
PREVIEW: Essendon

Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

REPORT: Gold Coast

Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

PODCAST: Gold Coast

I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
