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..

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • 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.
