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..

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
