    Gee you are making it tough. Can't separate these two at all but going to go with number 31. Sorry Robbie

    In another era Robbie could have been as decorated as Barassi.  Love'm both but only saw Robbie play live so does that make the difference in our voting?  Barassi would not have left if he could run the MFC how he wanted and not been overseen by Norm and the old crowd.  The problem Norm has when he first starting coaching us. You need a third option :)

    I’m too young to have a meaningful vote as I was kid when Robbie played, so I’ll opt out. Both are legends of the game though and I hope to see someone of their ilk again in red and blue one day.

    I'm going to sit this one out as I am too young to have seen either in any meaningful way.

    Would be curious to know, from those who saw him play, what kind of a player RDB was?  

    Is there a current or recent player that you'd compare him to?

     

    From what I've read... perhaps a bit of Michael Voss..?

    As a player Robbie would win..  but when considering a career of impact in footy,  Wins with the club,  Successes,  Premierships,  Captaincy,  and Premierships won at other clubs.

    RdBarassi has it.

    Too hard to separate. Cannot split them. Favorite Demon is Robbie, best is Barassi. Hard to beat a legend and our most recent premiership Captain. But Robbie, so skillful, so graceful so courageous. As I said too hard. My vote is a draw.

    He won the B & F in 1977.  

    Ok it wasn't listed in the honour roll above. Still how did he only win 1? Point stands.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
