Moloney has a ball & chain around his ankle. Has for years.

We will benefit in his absence. The team can move forward.

Maloney seems to struggle more when his team is having a bad day........will be good to see how we'll the Lions go in 2013 season proper, if Demons finish above Lions then Voss will be in the crosshairs.

Ignore the stats I have watched the game. Typical game where he wins the ball and kicks to no one.

Fair enough. Just don't see why we have to hate on him, gave us some good years, left when it was due etc.

Fair enough Stuie but how influential are those stats.....it's not like the Dogs would say gee Moloney was dangerous more like gee Moloney was average dont u agree? And I don't hate Moloney at all.

I'm not watching the game so I was only going by stats and was happy to defer to those watching, but just thought his stats didn't support what you were saying at the time.

I have no ill feelings towards Beamer, but I'm glad we let him go because he wasn't going to do anything with us. I hope he keep racking up possessions, I've got him in my dreamteam!

Haha stats!

Let me relay what Eddie commentated a few minutes ago, as has become standard throughout Moloney's matches:

"...Moloney finishes up with the ball and sends it inside 50... And it comes back out again courtesy of Cooney..."

All I said was that he was slow, poor overhead and inconsistent because I was actually watching him play that way his stats don't disprove my comments......I'll move on

IT was more about you saying he goes missing when his team is struggling, which was often true for us, but as I said I was only going by stats as I'm unable to watch the game, and the stats didn't seem to support that view.

Just watched Beamer look slow and one dinensional and Martin look lost.

I am sure both will get better but who cares really.

This wasn't a good day for all those people who think that the NAB Cup should be taken seriously.

The Lions were dismantled as NAB Premiers.

They also sold half as much hope for that title as they burnt today.

You're not wrong. Stats are half the story. Brisbane's mids put no defensive pressure on their opponents and their NAB Cup star (Rich) got no protection. These issues are long acknowledged flaws in Beamers game, (not that he is wholly responsible) but he was part of a dreadful effort today.

Voss will learn quickly (should already know from watching Melbourne games) that Martin isn't a forward. Should have started him in the ruck. Minson pulled Longer's pants down from the first bounce.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
