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.

Indeed.

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 🍆

Langdon on one wing and Flower on the other .... Wow wee man.
 

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!

Flanagan also gave a nice little monologue on SEN just before the 2018 prelim

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 ?

To think we would have the luxury of seeing Robbie playing in his natural position. .. Wow wee indeed!

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.

Sensational player and person.

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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
