Again I have not watched much of the Blus but to see Brock "best on" again on the weekend clearly highlights it can be done. Brock looks very lean and fit compared to his time (not saying he was overweight) at Dees and the 1st season at Blues. Will Beamer be allowed the same chance at Dees if so will he want to stay or will he persue his options elsewhere?

Their was one big difference Mclean had a contract at Carlton.

Moloney is out of contract.

I have no doubt that if he had a contract for 2013 there would a tenth of the talk about Moloney as there is now.

Davey is in a similar boat but almost no talk about him as he is contracted for 2013

Sad to see him go ? I'm sad he's on the list. Moloney represents all that is wrong at Melbourne. The worst culture in the AFL. Bomber Thompson got it right when he was the first player he wanted t

Great bloke. Has bled red and blue for 6 years up until 2012. One bad year and he is gone. Rewind to the end of 2012. B&F club champion. He spoke about how you can play for the club or ^&

Who has treated him with disdain? I hope you're not referring to the MFC, the club who showed faith in him by bringing him to the club, the club that's paid him extremely well for however many years h

This is the clearest indication so far of the approach we are taking. Whilst there's a part of me that will be sorry to see him go I'm happy to see that we're prepared to play hard-ball with players who can't commit to Neeld's plan. Time will tell if the plan is a good one but at least at the moment I feel like we actually have a vision.

I find it interesting that we didn't even wait to see what he was being offered to consider matching it. This is as blunt as anything.

Next best thing to being delisted..

He's looking for better opportunities, and we aren't promising them in 2013.

Fair enough.

Wonder what pick we will be slated for...

The statement doesn't look as though we are keen to hold him to a trade.

And he sure as hell didn't deserve better opportunities based on the performances he put in this year. I wonder if he would have even been offered a new contract at the Dees if he'd wanted to stay.

I'm glad that our former "leaders" are being phased out for a new group. You won't see Grimes, Trenners, Clark, Watts, Jones, Garland etc out late at night after games. They're the type of players we need to set an example for the new crop of draftees, not half-wits like Moloney.

Reported elsewhere that Neeld is holding meetings with players yesterday and this morning.

No doubt those discussions have led to the events we are seeing unfold.

I wish Moloney well he has been a fantastic player for the club who seems not to have gelled with the new regime better for all concerned to make the break.

Its obvious Neeld has a clear plan which will be make or break for him.

I hope this isnt a mistake. Brent has done a lot for this club with his passion, etc and he often showed that he had a lot of potential. I will miss the pictures of him on the herald sun painted in red and blue two days before we get smashed LOL.

But on a serious note I think he has been pushed out rather than anything else. Neeld and Moloney obviously arent on the same page.

Cant stand the heat Brent...stay out of Neelds kitchen!

Strange comment given that Brent prettymuch ran our midfield in 2010, 2011.

The fact that he was dropped for the last three rounds indicates that Neeld wants him gone. Lets thank Brent for all that he has done for the club - which is more than some give him credit for. its obvious that our future requires some big changes.

it's going to be a completely different mindset in 2013.

no 2011 best and fairest winner, no former mark of the year winner, no former skipper.

very sad state of affairs.

we should have the REIGNING MOTY winner...

Aside from being a good player, Beamer was one of the only modern-era players I felt had the same love for the club and guernsey as we the supporters do.

Sad?? Its fantastic, obviously its a player issue like everyone has known for ages and now we are finally cutting the dead wood. Im wrapped the MFC have taken a hard approach because we are the softest football club in the land. Moloney stank it up big time this year and its great he is gone, now he wont be able to poison our young brigade.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
