Brent Moloney Departing MFC

Better trade off Clark, Jones, and Howe quick sticks!!

They've all had good years, so we can't risk them being out of form next year.

They're all "one trick ponies"... Clark ONLY kicks goals, Jones ONLY wins the ball, and Howe ONLY takes marks.

They're all "flat track bullies"... I bet their stats were better when we won than when we lost...

Oh and whoever wins the BnF should be delisted immediately cos we all know they'll suffer the curse and be out or form next year.

We're much better off having no one over 20 on our list and winning the draft picks premiership every year.

Go Dees! Top 4 on the draft ladder AGAIN! Woo!

The most stupid post I have read this year, congrats!

 

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

Nah all good, didn't mean it to sound snippy if it did.

It certainly has looked he's been playing with a broken heart.

Beautifully put although it's the same for all AFL players at this time.

(I know what you meant, but your use of "2013" and "non existent" in the same sentence was just too good to ignore.)

On topic, if he wants to leave he should do so; if he wants to stay, I'd keep him only if he has bought into the Neeld plan.

oops i meant 2012. Thanks!!

Stuie. Stuie...you go down fighting don't you. I will acknowledge that.

But can you not see that Beamer has already gone. He doesn't want to be here.

Players play some bad games, yes, but not an entire season.

I will not accept that as valid. He was dropped for the GW$ game-Damming.

Neeld gave him ample time to own his patch.

Beamer declined the offer.

The problem with Beamer is that he isn't a good runner. That's a problem, especially for a midfielder, but not one that was as big when you were allowed to freewheel into space a bit more like he could last year.

Now that Neeld's plan requires him to run much harder in a game (with all the defensive running required) his poor running ability is being exposed and he has become less effective.

He plays a really good 2002 game style, but nobody plays that way in 2012.


He just can't get to contests - Sydney should take him for their smaller ground.

didnt i read somewhere that Moloney has only been at the dees 6 years? Which would not make him a RFA as it needs to be 8? I know I am wrong here somewhere but not sure where...

Joined in 2005 so this is his 8th season

i dont understand why Neeld doesnt try him in another position? I haven't watched many melbourne games this year because in adelaide they only show them on days port or crows arent playing. If he's only put him in the mid why not try up forward? Maybe even down back but he'd probly be too slow for a defender. We'll be missing Green next year so i think its a good opportunity to put up a 1 year contract and play him forward.

In fact, Neeld moved him from on ball to HFF. Was successful in that role in the Essendon victory, but appeared to struggle more and more with the role as time went by.

I suspect Beamer is a victim of a gameplan that requires hard running both ways which he doesn't appear physically to be suited to.

I reckon you are on the money mate Does not have the running ability.

I doubt he has bad attitude as many suggest

He just cannot play the required style of game

Club policy of re-sign, or be traded should be put in place at the end of their 7th year.

We don't need the bullsh$t other clubs are going through ie Cloke, in their final year. Imagine Cloke was put on the trade table end of last year, Collingwood would be preparing to use their round 1 draft picks

Sorry, haven't read four pages of posts but I would swap Brent for Travis Boak in a heart beat.

Please let it be....

ah well thanks for clarifying that. Kinda sucks i always like the bloke even now but i still think he should get 1 more year. Not everyone can improve in a year sometimes takes 2 even 3 but i would only ask for one more year with him but i doubt he'd sign a year contract.

Are you a politician because that is what they DON'T do as well.

They DON'T research.

They DON'T think.

They just guess at some thing logical to say which is usually wrong.

He was actually told at the beginning of the year to lose weight. The FD intention was to be able to run, run, run and they believed that some of the players were too bulky to be able to achieve the distances that were required.

So you are suggesting that he has failed to follow the instructions of the FD - in which case he should move on to a FD that doesn't care about that sort of thing, like MFC pre-2012.

ND If I was Moloney I would be after more than 1 year.

Offering one year is the same as saying [censored] off we don't need you.

It is a two year offer or let him go


Can we get this right......Some say we need runners to improve our spread.....others say we need bigger bodies to get the ball in a pack...Beamer to big in the body....Moton....Watts....Cook....too skinny....Geezzz....I'm confused....

Yes, yes and yes.

All the aforementioned have different problems requiring different solutions that each need to attend to forthwith, or depart. Some are doing it, some aren't.

.......with or without a parachute??

now now...be nice. With :) we arent unfeeling bastards you know :unsure:

That seems logical but I don't know if that's right...

Therein lies the problem...

Therein lies the problem...

ts not just whether hes bought in, its whether he can actually execute it !! Im not sure hes up to it.,w illing or otherwise. :huh:

I wasn't too bothered, he is delist material anyway.

I think we have a new winner, congrats!

He's been very ordinary this year, is 95% gone, maybe I should have used sarcastica as my font...

All that said, the lynching of him has been pretty disgraceful, even by Demonland's standard

Sipping too many Thai cocktails Skills??

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

    Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

    For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
