Brent Moloney Departing MFC

[old dee 23,782]

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

Just confirmed on the MFC site.

Get outta here, Brent.

[armstrong35 262]

Will never forget his speech at the B&F about Brock Mclean....

Laters brent!

[Mickey "O" 32]

We will get a compensation pick I believe

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.

[dazzledavey36 54,285]

see ya brent!

[The Reverend 1,736]

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.

Sook.

[Philthy 284]

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

[olisik 4,060]

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..

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.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

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.

[whatwhat say what 22,700]

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.

[olisik 4,060]

We all knew this clean out was coming, lets not kid ourselves.

I have a feeling that this is just the beginning....

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.

we should have the REIGNING MOTY winner...

No doubt - Id expect 11-15 players.

[PaulRB 6,351]

Losing Liam and Brent for nothing, makes me a bit nervous...

[Dannyz 2,697]

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.

Not anymore it seems

Thanks for the 8 years of service Brent. You stuck by us during a tough time and did what you could.

But now you're the enemy.

We will get compensated......
