His original club will receive a compensation pick for the loss of the player, on an AFL-determined formula to apply where clubs lose more free agents than they gain in any single transfer period.

True. Forgot about that. And if we are going to be as active as we say we are, then it is unlikely we will receive anything for Moloney (other than any FA's we sign).

Kaider, of One Management, suggested the 145-game veteran could be tempted by the prospect of "nurturing an exciting, young group of footballers

Didn't seem to tempt him too much this year at Melbourne.

That quote is a disgrace if true.

I do wonder what was said to him start of the year

I think it all started around 186, he has steadily fallen from then.

It's like he never recovered from that flu and has been asleep in the change rooms ever since.

The only decent game he played this year was against Essendon. The club he tried to get to last year.

Says it all. He doesn't want to be here.

He didn't try to get to Essendon last year, was total BS

He was sounded out by them, he told them [censored] off

I would be sad to see him go but he has played the year like he doesn't want to be here. If that is the case then the best thing for club and player is to move him on and help him get to his preferred destination. Question is would port Adelaide be his preferred destination?

I thought essendon had interest in him and since they've got a much better chance of playing finals surely that'd be where he'd like to go.

If he doesn't want to go, I would be quite happy for us to have another crack with him. His combination with Jamar/Stef in 2011 is too recent for me to just say "give him the boot".

You are sure about that?

Exactly! Bailey must have known it was all finished that day.

Same as Beamer. His days of ruling the roost were over.

Maybe he doesnt want to be at the MFC anymore

You are sure about that?

Yes

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 ^&%#$% off.

How fickle we are? Is it a club ... or a business? Don't complain about Scully etc if you offload Beamer after one poor year. Aaron Davey has had 3 shockers !!!

Yeah, it's sometimes quite discomforting to watch people buckle under a new regime, not getting what they want or were used to getting without any discipline. If Brent is unable to meet the criteria of the new way of working then maybe it's time to go.

All will be revealed very soon.

Must admit I choked on this bit. Cos I didn't see too much of it here recently, mainly just finger pointing.

Port are expected to face competition for Moloney but Kaider, of One Management, suggested the 145-game veteran could be tempted by the prospect of "nurturing an exciting, young group of footballers".

Not fussed if he tests the market or not TBH. If he goes he goes.

Yes

Fair enough. Different from what i was given from last year.

His form for the entire season 2013 has been almost non existent so i don't know why he bothered. Should have taken the offer.

Hopefully we won't be saying the same things about Nathan Jones in another year.

Maybe hurt by not being in the leadership group as well.

Why would Port want Beamer?

I hate it that MFC are disloyal to loyal players (which is why we should keep Rivers)...

However Beamer has been pushed out of our side due to his lack of effort... So I think it is time for Beamer to go...

True. Forgot about that. And if we are going to be as active as we say we are, then it is unlikely we will receive anything for Moloney (other than any FA's we sign).

are you trying to tell me that Geelong will get the comp pick? that seems crazy

Plus if Beamer wants out I don't really blame him.... He is bitter with the direction the club has taken, I am slightly bitter to and I would understand where he is coming from if he wants out.

Our club and fans are never ever loyal to our players, so why should they give a stuff about us?

Did you read my whole post? Just in case you didn't here is the first bit again.

So he wins our B&F and has one bad year and now he's out?

I think he's struggled in the same way most of his teammates have. Suggestions that he is "out of favour" are ridiculous, considering no one player has had their place in the team assured this year. Yes, even Jones a few times could have been dropped, had our midfield in general not been so inept.

Aside from him being dropped for poor form, what reasoning do people have to suggest he is "out of form"? The guy can still play.

Remember, Stevie J was "out of favour" at Geelong in 2006...

My bad im at work so im speed reading and alt+tabbing constantly

Beamer is way too predictable, and other clubs have him well and truely worked out. He is on the outer at Melbourne because he has been unable to add the new strings to his bow that are necessary under the Neeld game plan. Thanks for the memories Beamer, and good luck wherever you end up.
