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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
