Brent Moloney @ Brisbane

Featured Replies

Moloney has always got the ball and just hacked it on the boot.


There is no clean disposal going forward with Moloney in the centre, the best you can hope for is the ball bombed long.

He doesn't give his fowards the best opportunitiy to take clean marks inside 50.

On this year, Moloney still looks far and away better than any of our midfielders - other than Jones.

But if we'd kept Moloney, it would've stunted the progress of our up and coming midfielders and our midfield in general.

In saying that, Jamar coming good would go a long way to improving our midfield as well.

 

I'm not a fan but at least he has been giving the ball off by hand a lot more today and not trying to bulldoze his way through, that's the plus.

On the negative side he was not being tagged (as we know he doesn't handle a tag well at all), that reward was given to Rich who really struggled with Lower who took the points well and truly. As usual when kicking he bombed the ball forward with no consideration of where it was going.

I've always said we can't carry Silvia and Moloney in the same side so I'm happy to see him at Brisbane.

The other beauty of this game is that the Doggies creamed them in the midfield an area that a lot of the so called experts had seen as a Brisbane strength with the addition of Moloney, a lot on here knew different but hey...no Black, no midfield still.

Now it's up to us to prove the experts wrong, to much has been placed on a NAB cup that is more and more obvious clubs and players are not taking seriously and are using as practice games.

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.

'stuie', he did get a bit of the ball but there was no close tag on him. As usual he didn't do a lot of damage when he had it, opposition sides know this and he will be let run a bit more this season. Rich will get the close tag until Black comes back then it will be a toss up.

Don't agree on this, he was always a hinderance to the midfield as a group. Best he is gone. I think Viney will give more in his first season by the way.

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!

as long as its not against us!

 

Moloney's pointing skills have imroved. I counted over 44 pointing fingers - although at one stage in the last qusrter he pointed the wrong way.

While we're discussing ex-MFC players $cully still has a punchable face.

Also on the VFL I saw Addam Maric do one of the lowest percentage kicks coming out of defence in history for Werribee, so he's still alive too.

From the sounds of it, if he racks up the sort of possies he got today then it might not matter.

yeah i was thinking that after i read all the other comments

 

Yes, many of his kicks were out of the same old basket - but we mustn't forget that his team was done by 70 points. It isn't easy to look the goods in that situation.

I'll tell you how well Moloney played - the Bulldogs didn't even bother to tag him...it seems they really rate him. And for someone who wasn't tagged, 20 possies is a poor return for a midfielder...(and half his possessions ended up with the opposition)

& Gysbert doing a great impression of Morton.

Why would we want a player who came along last year and basically didn't try?

Exactly, yet somehow every 'commentator' in the country wants to ignore this when they criticise us for having 7 new players in the side.

Well it is Easter Sunday so I guess miracles can occur on that day.

A couple of the boys do have Jesus beards. Could be a Jack Watts day.

Moloney will be ok at Brisbane in terms of his output. But I noticed him continually yelling at teammates when they were against it, which seems pretty typical of him.

Martin on the other hand...I can't believe he is playing as a forward. He is potentially an average ruckman, and I actually think he could be an ok big defender, with his size and athleticism. But he would have to be one of the worst key forwards going around in the competition. He lacks footy smarts, he has a shocking pair of hands, and he couldn't kick a set shot to save himself. I expect a shift around the ground or a stint back in the state league coming his way within a month.

Oh, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Doggies get the win today. They were ravenous and would just not stop hitting the contests twice as hard as Brisbane, and gave them an absolute lesson. Loved seeing the look on Vossy's face as they continued to capitulate.

Useful dream team player, will get stats above his current value. Then drop him when Brisbane do, hopefully for a trade just as Trengove begins his upward curve after his likely slow start to the season...

But I really don't feel like our midfield would be meaningfully better with him in it. Works too solo attacking, leaves a hole defending.

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
