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)

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
