I remember a day at Moorabin in their swamp when he got caught holding the ball.
It was significant 'cause it never ever happened before.
Was the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned and let me know the champ must be slowing down.

    Brownlow is one thing. But we as a club only gave him one best and fairest. Look at the players who won over Flower, Steven Smith, Steven Icke,

    Well aware of all the greatness of R Flower

    For some reason The Umpires never voted him high enough 

    We will never know. 
    But one of the main reasons i take little notice of The Brownlow. 
    I mean let’s be honest, KB was another who was crucified on Brownlow night

    Interesting virtually every player in the GOAT conversation other than Ablett Jr didn’t win a Brownlow. 

    As for not winning more B&F’s he explained that he missed games nearly every season and once you missed a couple of games it was very hard to win one.

    as for the comparisons with some of our present greats – almost impossible, and I say that as a huge fan of  Oliver. Do we really have to choose between them?

    When we drafted Oliver 6 seasons ago if anybody said we would ever be discussing him in the same sentence as Flower I would have told them where to go.

    Now I think it's warranted.

    I remember one year he blasted out in front of the Brownlow count but missed about 6games late in the season.
    And that was that.

    We were pretty bad in the years he played but you always knew he would be picked for Victoria

    I'd just go to watch him play, win the ball, and the rest was magic; and we would look at each other with just being able to keep that bit of still time to ourselves..

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
