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 🍆

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.

He was the reason to go to the footy !!

Sensational player and person.

[Wrecker46 3,087]

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

Tingay and Langdon would have the wings

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.
