Sylvia and Moloney - A Poll 209 members have voted

  1. 1. If you were Mark Neeld, what would you do with these two?

    • Keep them both. They are among our best players and indispensable to the side.
      59
    • Move them both on. I've seen enough to know they're not going to get any better. We need to rebuild our midfield and should trade them out now while both have currency..
      34
    • Keep Moloney, offer Sylvia up for trade.
      11
    • Keep Sylvia, let Moloney go after his contract's up at season's end.
      21
    • Not sure but I'm fast running out of patience with them.
      29
    • Not sure but I'm happy to give them time to adapt to the demands of the new coach.

love the 'lets giv em more time' attitude that 90% of posters have here.

    Moloney employs the manager, not the other way 'round. Get real.

    So the manager is doing his job....Is he not???.....The same as all managers of FA players......Is not Cloke's manager doing the same thing (even though it's his Dad)......It would be incomptent if all managers were not doing the best deal for their clients who have the chance to avail themselves of FA........This is the future.....Get used to it...

    These same people are in for a major shock during the Trade Weeks. As Gough Whitlam said way back in '72. "It's Time"

    No not change for change sake. We need better than that. I am sure the work has already begun. Neeld has 3 years. The 1st. is already cooked so this draft period coming could make or break him.

    Be bold Boss, we have watched in the shadows too long.

    I grew up fearing Demons. The stuff of nightmares. Let's see some of that on the MCG.

    How about we start at the SCG....

    I don't think it will happen. I think the approach now is to keep players under the gaze and control of conditioning staff. All things have their use-by date.

    as do players !!

    Did anyone read the Melbourne Board on Big Footy? There was an allegation on the "changes for next week" thread that there was a Melbourne player who had to be helped out of Crown and bundled in to a cab on Saturday night..

    Relevant to this thread.

    Didn't read that just the allegation that the Melbourne player was s/faced and needed assistance to get out of Crown and in to a cab.

    Forget the manager. Brent calls the shots.

    And yes, he can do what he likes. No problem. But as a supporter of the MFC, I can also do what I like. And in this instance I'm calling Mr "we won't deviate from the straight line" out for acting like a rat scampering from the sinking ship when the more noble action would be to put your head down, bum up and work your tail off for the club in its hour of need.

    That's the way to earn respect, not only from within your own club but from the outside football world as well.

    Yeah the boys were out on the town celebrating another loss this weekend. I thought players generally don't get wasted during the season. Or is that just all there other clubs. Sigh.

    Great.

    Is that player still in the selected side?

  • Quote

    Yep he is. This is the reason why the club had to make a 19 year old captain. These "senior" boys dont care anymore.

    It doesn't sound like 'elite compliance' - the player shouldn't be playing this weekend.

    Maybe that player still being in the team is evidence of it not happening?

    But if it is true - we have more evidence that we have an issue with our senior players.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
