I just want to echo the comments above on how talented Robbie was. I have been a diehard Demon since late 1950's and since those premiership days watching Robbie Flower weave his magic on the wing was wonderful. He is by some distance the most brilliant MFC player since early 60s. He also captained the Big V for 1 or 2 years I think!
James Hird is a lot bigger in the upper body. For those who didnt see Robbie play he was a bit like Hird but with Aaron Davey's evasive magic.
Robbie is just as much a champion off the field - as trully modest as he was tallented. Foxtel has been replaying the 1986 night premiership - the MFC's only trophy since 64 - and you see Robbie (who did not play through injury!) at the end insisting that Danny Hughes as acting captain take the accolades!
