I love this thread. I am a 65yo Demons supporter who, until 2021, was beginning to wonder if he'd live to savour a premiership (being too young in 1964 to understand). Simon Goodwin has my deepest respect and gratitude for building on the work of Roos and Jackson to make us relevant for several years and finally to win that elusive premiership. Thank you. SG achieved these goals with humility, good humour and the well-deserved respect of the players, administration and supporters.

Totally agree

I am old enough to remember going to the footy for a decade with nothing to savour but Robbie's freakish skills. Am I going to have another decade watching Kossie (which will be great) but nothing much else?

Who was the last AFL premiership coach who didn't play AFL/VFL?

Father-son rule🤔

Straight sets loss highlights not good enough. Melksham retires. Trade out some NQRs. Forward line changes. Get fit. Come again

Now 122

Sydney need 114 points. Actually need to win first!

Keith Greig was a sublimely-skilled wingman. Perhaps the only player even vaguely comparable to Robbie. Greig would also be inches taller than Bowser

I thought Declase showed promise. Disappointed that he's been delisted

Yes. Patch of game day ball (from finals) plus replica Premiership and Norm Smith medals. Signed by Trac and Gawny

Look at what the courier just delivered! Worth every cent. I am crying again 🙄 and watching the replay on Kayo for the (n+1) time.

Thank you so much for this video and post. As a new MCC member in the late 70s-early 80s, Robbie's extraordinary skills and clubmanship drew me to follow the Demons (plus an inbred hatred of Richmond, the only co-tenants at the time). Memories of his play have sustained me through to the 2021 premiership. In answer to some other posts, Robbie polled highly in two Brownlow counts '79 and '84 finishing third each time. I can't remember which year but he missed 6 games at the end of one of these seasons with a broken arm. It is extraordinary that Robbie won only one B&F. I have heard a quip that the MFC voters suffered combined dyslexia in the 3 years that Laurie Fowler won ('75, '79 & '80). Thanks again

West Coat thunder-lightning game on Fox Footy and Kayo now. Geelong comeback game after. Great afternoon of viewing on a wet day. Just to break up the GF on a continuous loop

Totally agree. It was the parting present of the Norm Smith curse that we had bloody BT commentate the closing minutes. And when he tried to invoke Robbie Flower, my head nearly exploded. How dare he!
