Robert Flower

The greatest, most fairest, most skillful, most modest,  most courageous footballer I have ever seen.  How he would be so happy now with our Demons on top.  We miss you Robbie.

    Given the onfield impact he had in what were very poor teams (for the majority of his career), imagine the damage he would be capable of in our current team 🍆

    Martin Flanagan wrote a beautiful piece on R. Flower many years ago in I think The Age: does anyone have the skills to find it and post it - a very poetic essay indeed!

    I am still hopeful the MCC will erect a statue in tribute to Robbie Flower.

    I think it would be a wonderful way to have a significant legacy for one of the greatest Melbourne Demons players ever.

    Is there any point to this post or are you just trying to re state the obvious ?

    So how do you justify your negative responses?

    I for one will never tire of supporters respecting a true champion.

    Let's hope that we can all continue to lobby the MCC to have a statue put up of Robbie Flower.

    If enough of us continue to push tgis suggestion then hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later.

    Here is a great highlights video of all the amazing feats done by champion Melbourne Demons player Robbie Flower.

    I think if he played today he would play more a Salem type role 

    Tingay and Langdon would have the wings 

     

    What about Gus !!!

    He could be full forward next week with Brown out. 

    He can play anywhere.

    I ha ha’d at that but Brayshaw could probably give the full forward role a fair shake

     If Shane Warne can have a Grand Stand named after him at the MCG... the Robbie Flower wing should be a permanent fixture at the G!

    What I would have given to see Tulip play live, seen so much footage and the man seemed to flat on air. Brought his best for the State games and was so widely respected in this league.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
