Time for the broom to sweep clean, the only one we should have kept was Jimmy Mac........

    Davey is definitely gone. Is a pea heart and and has been down for a while. Green is struggling to hold his place. Moloney just came of an B&F season and was heavily tagged. No excuse for today but it gives him time. No ruck tap outs didn't help.

    Are they still crying for getting kicked out of the leadership group...

    Don't cry for too much longer because your careers are coming to a quick end

    I don't think being in or out of the leadership group would have changed the way they played. I'm glad they are out.

    This season is going to be a circus with our senior players running around with huge chips on their shoulders. Today of all days was when they needed to step up, and they point blank refused.

  • Quote

    No Brent Moloney means that Trengove, Magner or Jones get tagged. We would not benefit from that at all. Davey is worthless as a player and Brad Green is simply not quick enough to apply any pressure or lead effectively and not tall enough to provide a realistic marking target. Joel Macdonald is also a liability in defence.

    If anyone thinks these guys would have played BETTER if they were still in the leadership group, then you obviously don't recall their poor performances last year.

    Sas but it aint about being left out of the leadership group - its about their leadership. period.

    Then Neeld should do what voss did last year. Play the kids and the likes of Davey and Green can play the year out at Casey. Today proved that there is a long way for us to go before we can even be competative. Bloody disgraceful.

    It was obvious to most last year that Green was on his last legs.

    Wouldn't be surprised if he retires during the season. He's done.

    Moloney's fine, only played one poor game recently. Premature judgement. Davey's played two poor years, showed nothing today and has lost his run. Get rid of him. Green has had one bad year recently and showed nothing today. He better get on with it fast.

    Someone wake me when Viney is playing.

    Moloney can't handle a tag, he just doesn't work hard enough B&F or not, just not good enough over the last few years.

    Davey doesn't put his body on the line when he has to which I could handle if he still had the turn of speed but he's lost that so he's a goner.

    Green is border line. Probably on his last legs but I'd play him for the first half of this year to find out for sure.

    Moloney is an integral part of our side and as has been stated, takes a tagger away from other mids.

    You need to do more than attract a tagger and after a while the tagger won't be there anymore. Besides it's time for the others to learn how to deal with a tagger and they are not getting a good example. Brisbane get a lesson every game from Black, it is an unfair comparison I know as Black is one of the greats of the game.

    Totally agree with you rjay and Moloney, though he certainly wasn't able to shake the tag today, has done in the past and shouldn't be considered expendable, one game into the season. He has enough credit up to get another crack next week.

    Throw Davey into the middle. He's still slick enough to evade tacklers and his pace as an outside player is badly needed. Anyone who can carry the ball 4 or 5 steps to compose and deliver is much better than the outside mids we have now. Jones and Magner can go in and get it and Davey can run off with it.

    Green seems to be unable to keep his feet after EVERY contest. Even with minimal contact he goes to ground. We are then 1 player down in the ensuing fight to gain possession. He has NO follow up from a contest.

    Moloney can have a weekend beating up on VFL boys as far as I'm concerned. We have nowhere else for him to play to try and get him into the game. He's basically a follower or nothing. I'll take the latter next week. Give someone else a go.

    This was the most pathetic effort that I have attended knowing the background to this game.Many changes needed as they are just weak b's.

    Claye Beams tagged Moloney. Possesions: Beams 25, Moloney 12. A hard tag? i dont think so.

    Thrashed by a no name. Says a lot doesn't it.

    Beamer loves the Demons i have spoken with him about it. But he doesn't like or understand real hard work.

    Jack Watts was great in yhe first half.

  • Quote

    He certainly is slick at avoiding front on confrontation.

    And if he's scared of being hurt he'd be great as an outside mid-fielder by running away.

    Green and Davey... put a fork in them. Sad. Two great demons. But they're done.

    Green - dropped. Sorry Brad, not acceptable today.

    Davey - plays nest week. Forward pressure was good, but need to involve himself more (possession wise).

    Moloney - have been saying since the Gold Coast/NAB Cup game that he has looked slow. Was prepared to forgive due to the monsoon, but ticked the same box agaisnt Collingowwd and Hawthorn, as well as the real deal today. Kills me to say it but you are not in our best 21 at the moment, and need to go to Casey. Slow, slow, SLOW.

  • Quote

    Moloney lost me today. Hasn't fired a shot all pre season and today he couldn't care less. Disgraceful.

    Have a sook.

    The other 2, well it's obvious the skills + drive are no longer there. Thanks for your service, step aside.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
