Oh dear...

Just to amuse me "Tonatopia", if a soldier went to war with the sole purpose of disobeying his general's orders, do you think his fellow soldiers would survive?

its called AWOL mate.

And that's what many of our players were going to do if Neeld remained coach. The players arnt stupid, neither was Moloney.

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, if you're not Brent himself, then you must be Jeff Kennett?

So you encourage players to go against the instructions of the coach?

The game plan the players played to was not successful. We have no idea if the game plan that Neeld, or Bailey for that matter, worked because the players didn't implement it how they were instructed.

Given that we continually got flogged playing Beamer's game plan probably just confirms that your agrument is moot. He is a dumb ass, has no idea about structures on field, lacked leadership, couldn't motivate the players around him. All this time I thought it was Neeld and Brian Royal that were incompetent.

I couldn't give a toss if a player won a Brownlow, was blood related, or was just a top bloke, if he thinks he is better than the team, he can [censored] off. Funny how the man in question said similar about Brock McLean.

Thanks Queen, but the club needs culture change, and frankly, we would be a stronger club if we had a re-build of our culture by challenging all fickle and weak supporters that have the audacity to bag out club champions. There are probably 5000 of you. Either change your ways or [censored].

I cringe every time some of you people bag out Davey, Moloney, Watts, Jurrah, Green, whoever. It is really poor form. If you guys had ever played the game, you would realize that it is bloody hard, firstly to get fit enough to play, and secondly, to back up good games week after week for 10 years.

So Queeny, I stand by my words, supporters that bag out our club champions are nothing but vermin. We don't need you.

We stand for something different.

MFC supporters have a bit more class than that.

If you want to be scoundrels, go support the filth.

FYI, I don't bag out the players.

FYI, I'm 40 years old and still play competitive footy.

FYI, you're making yourself look like a fool.

Keep it up.

Seriously though.. Be quiet tona.

Comparing people who actually sacrifice their life for our country to people who play sport for excessively good money is far far worse than someone criticising a player. Get over it, it happens at every club because everyone in the world is passionate about sport.

We get you want MFC to be back up there... We all do!!! But your current campaign makes you sound absolutely stupid.

Great can you play in the mid field?

Beamer wouldn't play the way MN wanted him to. End of story. According to the HS was told to change the midfield set ups because Jamar to BM was too predictable. BM actively went against that with other players. MN had no choice but to cousel him and if he continued to refuse get rid of him

BM refused to drop weight and run both ways - zero defesive skills

BM should never have played in the 186 game. Again selfish and not a team player.

I applaud MN for making the hard call on him but perhaps the manner of it was the issue.

The decision for him to go was the right one.

Lets move on.

Certainly not the gentlemanly type we need at MFC....gosh darn it we need real fellows who when they feel they have treated in less than stellar fashion just button up the old bottom lip by crikey. If we allow this sort of caddish behaviour into the club then the next thing you know we'll be seeing is spiteful competitive behaviour on the field... IT JUST WON'T DO

I've never understood this argument about Moloney - all players want to play, it's up to the medicos to declare them unfit and rule them out.

It obviously wasn't a great post on instagram the other day and it certainly wasn't a good look for Moloney, but I do find it funny how people want to rewrite history about a bloke once he's left the club.

It reminds me a lot of the comments Woewodin made when he was sent to Collingwood and the response to them by our supporters - the bloke was obviously hurt by being forced out and didn't want to go. You can certainly make the case that both of them would have been better served by saying nothing at all but when there's high level emotions involved it's easier said than done.

Do you listen to the coaches

Can you take instructions and carry them out

Do you do your best every time you take the field

Do you have a go

Don't think your doing your argument any favours with silly comments like this.

Expand on this please Stuie.

My point was that Beamer played his own game plan, thinking that he knew what was best, rather than following the coach's instructions. It wasn't and it cost him his place on our list. Yet Tonatopia is saying that he isn't the silly one.

Moloney is not a champion of the club. Never was.

Bluey Adams or Robbie Flower deserve that status.

Brent Moloney is unwelcome back at the club imo

You said: "Given that we continually got flogged playing Beamer's game plan probably just confirms that your agrument is moot."

Just a really silly comment mate. You're saying the team was being flogged because they were all playing the way Moloney wanted to play. You can blame Moloney's performances on his own attitude etc, but you can't blame the team getting smashed every week on the game plan of a player.

He needed to move on, but this is just being an emotional little jilted girl.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
