Great stuff!

That brought a big smile to my face! 😁

We definitely know Ron Barassi is fired up! However, I can imagine if Jimmy Stynes and Norm Smith were still alive today they would definitely be excited and wearing red and blue scarves proudly supporting the Demons.

I am hopeful the MCC eventually put up a statue of Robbie Flower at the MCG. I think its about time to pay tribute to him.

Was thinking the exact same thing as I wandered along those paths taking those photos. Robbie epitomised the very best qualities of our great game, and it would be fitting to celebrate his memory in that way in the vicinity of the place where his brilliance was so often on show.

Agreed.

I hope that this happens eventually. I am sure there are many others who would love to see a statue of Robbie Flower at the MCG.

I got a pic of Barassi in another post.

Who is putting them up there? Maybe the MCC?

It can't be easy. You would need a ladder but we are on top, so that might help.

I live within 5km and would be silly enough to attempt it but I pay credit to whoever has.

Robbie was the Nathan Jones of that era. Equal amounts if loyalty, care, leadership.and unfortunately team success

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
