Sylvia and Moloney - A Poll

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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
