It's more about sending the right message to the whole group, including a tough stance on the leadership group.

I reckon he's been punished enough, honestly, he was held up to the media spotlight and embarrassed in front of the whole country. Enough's enough, give him back the title. Been our best player by miles this year, surely heading for his first B&F.

Give him the bloody captaincy far as I'm concerned. I do think that they should be careful about sending the wrong message regarding player behaviour, but given the current leadership crisis we are in, Captain for me.

I don't think at this stage it's important for him to have it, he's still leading (arguably better) and doing all he can to prove he wants back in. But what I think is more important is for the club to hold a strong stance on what is and isn't tolerated. A mid-year recall, after a starring queens birthday performance :), is what I'm tipping.

I was always a bit resentful of that Thompson/pick 13/Moloney trade, but after 6 years, he's become the better player. I love the passion he has for the club.

Posted

Thats it, he are getting what we want from him atm, let him sweat on it for more than a month or so.... maybe mid-year maybe later

Really its just a title for Moloney nothing else, dont see what the rush is for him to be given it back

I don't think beamer is giving us enough but he certainly has mates that aren't performing....

Beamer has only played well against the lower ranked sides.

He's not giving us similar performances against higher ranked teams.

18 Disposals against West Coast

Yep,that would be pretty standard across most of the competition. If the team is travelling well you get some more outside ball to add to the ones you go and get yourself. I think Beamer puts in every week. There's plenty of players that you could ask more from but in my opinion, Beamer isn't one of them.

he also misses Jamar, three loses without the russian will also impact upon Moloneys disposal

thanks - always believed he was below par without jamar as he doesn't spread that well to recieve uncontested footy

another one of our leaders with inconsistency

Interesting though, how our best contested ball and clearance winner is very good in our wins yet poor in our losses.

It almost seems like there's a correlation between our ability to get our hands on the footy and our ability to implement our gameplan to win games of footy.

Beamer isnt inconsistant IMO, he gives 100% every week and you get the type of performances that you expect from him week in, week out.

Inconsistant is more like Petterd, Maric etc. Gun's one week, hardly sighted the next.

Posted

Now just stop it!

It might also suggest that Moloney is playing a bit of a lone hand, and than when other players step up as contested ball winners, we might be able to cover for times that he is down and more consistently perform in the midfield...

Nah - I reckon they are all just soft.

We'll change that by sacking the coach.

Posted

At least this week we will get our future top midfielders all playing at the same time. Scully, Trengove (who was playing really well before the suspension), Gysberts and McKenzie.

Could you imagine us consistently losing contested possessions when they are 23/24? The opposition won't be able to just sit on one player like they currently do to Moloney.

Jeez... you might have something there.

But wait, wouldn't that mean that we actually have a gameplan..? Who'd have thought??!

I reckon it'll get better just having Skull and JT back in the side simply because of the danger they pose, especially Skull

I agree. I'm looking forward to the fact that we will at least know two of our players will be prepared to gut-run and make options. Welcome back boys.

Carlton seemed to run and spread against us. Carlton seemed to get plenty of uncontested footy. Especially in the second half.

We miss the run from blokes like scully and trengove (2nd year players)....I think this means melbourne aren't fit. Even Jim Stynes said it at the start of the year. We are obviously hurting with injuries but still not an excuse.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
