Beamer shows a bit of class....



Recommended Posts

Nathan Jones is 100 x the man Brent Moloney will ever be.

Yes. Tally ho and all that. Much better to have a ripping chap than one of those boisterous footy types running around out there. I say I say.

Let's hope we pick up some more nice young lads this year and avoid any unsavoury types like that Dustin Martin ruffian.

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.

Perhaps you'd like to tell us all how many times in the past Moloney has done this? Every player is entitled to the odd game where they perform out of their skin...unfortunately most cannot do so consistently, with Moloney being a case in point.

That wasn't the argument though.

The argument was "the adrenaline was up" and "the game wasn't tough". Ridiculous. being down by 9 goals is pretty tough I would have thought?!

I'm not saying he's a consistent superstar, but to not give him any credit for that game is just stupidity.

He's had some great gamers in the past, had a really good one today, and will again in the future. He's a good ordinary footballer - as Dyer used to say.

He's gone now, so he's just an opposition player.

The inability of some people to move on is mind boggling. I seriously hope none of you are ever jilted.

Talk sense mate, I think a game is tough when it's not free flowing. I've seen Moloney do this against Geelong in the past at the 'G' quite a few years back. It's when the opposition are applying pressure, and Geelong with their scored against record this year haven't been doing this, that Moloney has a history of going missing. No one tagging him and allowed to run free with a big ruckman dominating and Simon Black breaking the ball free, this type of game is made for Moloney. It doesn't mean I want him at the MFC, I don't.

Having said that credit where credit is due, I thought he played a great last quarter and his enthusiasm and running was a catalyst for the win.

And I was saying he was wrong the players didn't vote out green davey Beamer and rivers from the leadership group especially as all those players were votes in the year before

Yeah, yeah, fair enough. but to change the culture from a pizzweak one, you Have to change the leadership to start with, to do nothing is to get the same old same old...

People mistake making finals, with everything being good. It isn't. and it can mask all sorts of underlying problems that live within.

.... like not chasing, & no defensive ability, no hard ball ability..

playing free running ahead of the ball footy is fine, when you have plenty of the ball to use, Until you come up against a Topline Team, who pressures & removes the ball from you.

But Neeld was working to a 3 yr,,,, to get us to be totally competative, with No players wagging the team, & the club, as has been the case at Melbourne...

... this involved removing those who would sabotage the ability of making the Team, what it should have been... And those, who wanted to leave as they would not be a part of the next Finals campaign, after those 3 yrs....... top 4, that would have been further away, again.

this is, what I'm saying. We don't really know, how his plan would look, as we did not allow it to take shape... all we saw was the step back after the first list chop,,, & the results of the short term loss of experience. Even if that footy experience was NQR. It still was experience, & the loss hurt us, Re all our expectations...

... the timing of this plan was the downfall of it.. It should have been done simultaneously with our initial Youth list rebuild... we cut the wrong players back then. we cut the honest players, & not the flashy ones. & we recruited more flashy types.

I don't think anyone can say that I have ever bagged out any of our players.

So called supporters who cowardly bag out players, especially club champions from our club like green davey and moloney, such be bannished, because it is these so called supporters who create the toxic culture.

If I was on the board, I would have zero tolerance for these supporters almost regarding them as vermin.

I call a spade a spade, and it still makes me sick how supporters can bag out club champions. Go support the filth will ya, we don't need people like you in our stands.

theres the attitude of why we as a club is all tip & no Iceberg when it comes to our supporter base, & then our lowly membership numbers... not to mention why the tail wags the dog around the red & blue.

So Jones isn't a 'boisterous footy type'?

Moloney is an average player. Yesterday he played well. He also played well against us. He's also been a nothing influence in many other Brisbane games.

Nothing to write home about. You didn't like it. So be it. Move on.

Jones works hard every week.

Moloney chooses to work when it suits him. That was proven last year.

Ever worked for a boss you didn't like Stuie??

I have. It wasn't easy but i worked my way through it. I am still employed in the same job. He has long since moved on.

Was being a bit facetious. Not saying we should have kept Moloney, just highlighting our "nice lad" drafting policy in recent times.

Moloney out injured with a calf and could miss 2-3 weeks.

I don't know about you but I'd be delighted if he missed the Darwin game in 2 weeks' time.

I couldn't handle him getting two BOG's in the same year against us.

Don't reckon he's up to it.

Probably used up his quota of decent games so far this year.

hypocracy of the highest order.

Zero tolerance for anyone bagging players but you have unmercifully sunk the boot into the coach ( now ex coach) - please tell me how it is different bagging the coach to bagging a player ?

So you also understand the difference - Moloney was not sacked by Neeld - he may not have been wanted but was afforded the opportunity to look elsewhere and he took an opportunity at Brisbane. Neeld on the other hand was sacked and may or may not get employment elsewhere - to show such lack of respect for someone who has just lost their job is poor form. To draw a simple analogy, how would you have reacted if Neeld tweeted straight after Brent was traded to Brisbane " good riddance to bad rubbish ?".

This has nothing to do with how Moloney performed for our club - this has to do with a player showing a lack of class and maturity and taking delight at the demise of another person.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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.

    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
