Schwab is welcome at the club and so is Moloney, and I am sure that they will both be around the club in the future - be it short term or a bit longer.

We have to stop holding petty grudges.

There was nothing more than boorish immaturity in Moloney's Instagram image.

The sentiment behind this is spot on, however based on Brent's behaviour I think it's obvious he's not really interested.

Brent could have been the bigger man and just let it go. In fact, Brent could have said so much more about himself as a person by saying nothing, yet he merely reinforced the view that the majority of MFC supporters have already formed about him.

And by insulting the man who he feels did him wrong, he insults the club, and by extension its supporters.

Light hearted banter?

51426-The-lord-is-testing-me--Commun-GOt

Saying that Neeld losing his job is karma for not giving Moloney captaincy and playing him in the VFL is light hearted banter?

Seemed to have alot of venom in it to me.

Don't kick someone when their down. It was a dog act and did nothing to strengthen the negative stigma around him.

Also did you ever meet Neeld? Ever have a chat to him?

He was a hard bloke, frank but polite and wasn't a jackass.

He did what the club wanted him to do: get rid of the dead weight and change the lazy culture. Moloney epitomised that when he put himself before the team. Good riddance.

Mark neeld single handedly brought this club to its knees and made us the laughing stock of the competition.

In my eyes he is the biggest jackass to walk through the doors in the last 100 years.

Good riddance

I assume you're livid at the decisions to sack Schwab and for McLardy to stand down.

I also assume you think we're going to win a stack of games in the run home?

I also assume you have a strong anti-Neeld bias and you're a little bitter.

Yep, we had heaps of credibility in 2011 - particularly after Geelong thumped us by 186 points.

There was no malice in the way Schwab poorly ran the FD.

There was nothing more than boorish immaturity in Moloney's Instagram image.

Garry Lyon was pushed to involve himself against the wishes and advice that he himself gave to others (let that be lesson Re: Paul Roos, Coach 2014).

Gardner and McLardy agreed to take on a difficult leadership position at a club constantly on a knife edge - do everything well you break even (and not just in finances), screw up and disaster hits.

I have personal experience of how this club likes to factionalise and hold petty grudges against other Demons who have nothing but the best interests of the club at heart.

You have to forgive and understand, welcome back, and allow as many Demons through those gates as possible.

We need every Demon we can get.

Agree with the sentiment that unity is what we should be striving for. But time is needed. I have no doubt Schwab, Neeld and McClardy were all acting in what they thought were the best interests of the club. But poor behaviour has it ramifications. Especially when those in power are abusive or derelict in their practice.

Schwab's conniving, Neeld's blunt-force trauma and McClardy's ostrich-like inaction have been at the root of all this mess. Lynden Dunn's mum calling the radio? Club stalwarts taking pot shots? Players walking out?

This is a direct result of these people who were in charge of our club and we will forgive and forget in time but not straight away.

being critical of players is like being critical of Soldiers that are fighting for your country. They are risking their bodies for you, so you must be contructive in the criticism.

Ok, my constructive criticism of Brent Moloney is "you undermined the development of the club by demanding that other players sacrifice their game to maximise yours, you interpreted leadership as being about getting everyone else to do things for you instead of the other way around, refused to play your part when given direct instructions, brought the club into public disrepute with your adolescent style boozing, encouraged others to do the same, and dropped your head to sook the moment things went against you."

Let's just be glad he wasn't a soldier, I guess.

Sure.

I'm an absolute jet at training too.

Everyone is welcomed back, except that pathetic weasel Tom Scully.

He needs to stay far far away.

Tom who?

Beamer was great tonight against a top side.

Pretty quiet early but had a great last quarter.

Interesting aside in that game when the ball hit the umpire, it was heading for a Geelong goal and ended up a Brisbane goal which changed the flow of the game. What if this happened in the dying seconds of a GF with scores within a goal...surely it must be a dead ball if it hits the ump.

Place was busted before Neeld got there and that's not to say he didn't make it worse because he clearly did.

Brent Moloney however is still a petulant sook and was never Captaincy material.

Moloney won Brisbane the game in the last, what a massive last quarter.

His clearance work and willingness to take the game on was the main factor in Brisbane winning.

The game wasn't even there to be won, Moloney was simply superb.

So when do we start discussing offering Moloney a contract back at the Demons??

Now that we've removed the 4 spin doctors (Connelly, Schwab, McLardy & Neeld) is it time to start remembering that good players are good players??

You never know, the act of extending the olive branch to players that have been spited by the club (e.g. Petterd, Moloney) may be the kind of goodwill gesture that reunites the team morale, & encourages other players (e.g. Sylvia, Frawley & Watts) to stay.

3 goals and a match winning last quarter by Beamer would be a handy edition to any side, & it could easily be ours...

Don't forget though, he's.a Flat track bully who can't play against top opposition! I thought they were playing the Cats. What b--s we have endured from the Neeld supporters about Moloney

Moloney was always overrated

Even the season he got 18 brownlow votes and the Bluey, he played 7 very good games and 15 average-crap ones

Flat track bully

Most of the other games he was tagged by the best tagging midfielder. Many clubs recognized that the combination of Jamar/Moloney could be lethal. I do acknowledge he didn't handle a tagger as well as he might have done, but to get 18 votes in the Deees of 2011 was incredible.

This year the whole bloody club will be struggling to get 18!

Nah! they were running on adrenaline in the last, running forward with the ball. He's done that for us in the past. It's when the game gets tough that he goes missing. I'm happy he's not with us now, it's all Brent's way or nothing. Geelong didn't bother tagging him and came unstuck, now if you want to see a real player talk about Black who at least kept them in the game....or talk about Jones who draws a hard tag every week, as Craig says this guy is a true champ who in a better side would be a Brownlow winner.

In the next two or so years.

Tip of the century.

Oh FFS.

Weakest excuse and attempt at reasonging I've ever heard.

Down by 52 points not enough to say the "game gets tough"?

Ridiculous post.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
