I know Moloney was subbed off but I couldnt see him sitting on the bench and didnt see him walk off after the game. I was sitting on the other side of the ground and couldnt see him. Was he injured or was he sitting in the corner of the bench?

I still cant believe he didnt touch the ball for a whole half.

What, you've never had the flu?

Moloneys commitment can't be questioned.

...... its the flu, if he was so physically challenged by it then he should have done the right thing and pulled out of the game (i know that it wouldn't have made a difference to have a different witches hat out there today, but come on)

We had a player on standby, Tom McDonald didnt play in the Casey side, and warmed up with the seniors at half time of the VFL.

So for Moloney to put personal pride in the way of team functionality is simply not good enough!

If he had the flu then why did the play? Jurrah had the flu last week and pulled out before the game.

Exactly right if Beamer had the flu and couldnt run out a game he should not have been playing. I love Beamer and he is probably our real captain but we needed his run out there today.

And they were getting smashed out of the centre."

Was great news for Tom. He didn't have to debut in that garbage.

As far as I'm concerned they've been on notice all year, or at least since the eagles subiaco debacle. This club needs to grow a set & start making some hard decisions in regards to player mentality & professional preparation. We've heard all the excuses & possible explanations. It's time to bring in a coach & FD that is proven & uncompromising (preferably personel from outside the MFC as our culture is an absolute laughing stock). If the Board don't spend or raise the appropriate funds needed to assemble a top class FD this playing group is going down the same path as the failures before them. I just hope this flogging was a wake up call to the administrators that draft picks alone ain't going to get us where we want to be. If we are serious about winning a flag the club needs to act now to raise funds through the coterie & sponsorship to bring in the best coaches & footy dept we can assemble. If the club doesn't act now we can forget about getting anywhere near silverware within the next 10 years. There are going to be 17 other clubs competing for the grand prize soon, the only way to beat them is to get ahead of them off the field. We are clearly behind in terms of our FD, time for that to change starting now.

Agreed. Bonus points for not being tarnished by the Casey debacle either.

Oh hell, what happened there? I haven't been paying enough attention clearly :unsure: !!!

I don't think the "good lord" comes into it at all QueenC, cause I reckon it is fair to say that he has forsaken the supporters of the MFC :lol:

But the little league won 9.3 to nothing. Number 14 was pretty good, should have debut in the seniors, maybe they all should have stayed on after half time. THEY OUT SCORED THE SENIORS!

What I want to know is ...

Which braniac/s at Melbourne approved a bloke obviously sick with a virus to even suit up and run out on to the ground?

It beggars belief.

Most players will play given the opportunity. Especially someone as gung-ho as Beamer. It seems amateurish that the medical staff didn't just say "No". That does worry me.

I wouldn't surprise me to hear that Bailey had questioned Brent about his commitment with a zero possession half and his response required the substitution.

If Moloney had the flu, he should never have played. He's a highly paid & experienced professional athlete, something's seriously wrong if that's the excuse/reason.

On the other hand, if he was fit to play, getting zero touches (and zero DT points, a world record as far as I'm aware) is indicative of a player with serious problems.

Either way, Beamer let MFC down badly.

(and he's a guy I've had the greatest admiration for, got him in my DT but will seriously consider trading him this week)

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
