Robbo just said he thinks Moloney's career is finished

"You can't play the same one-dimensional types" was the quote that stood out to me the most. I say Robbo was on the money.

Yep and that was part of his game that Neeld wanted him to work on. The defensive side but Moloney obviously wasnt interested.

No defending Neeld and his abilities at all but the coach is the coach and for a mature aged, professional footballer who considered himself a leader of the club ,well his leadership skills failed him miserably.

It's damning for a professional footballer to seem so insipid in the face of internal scrutiny. He really didn't face too much on field adversity in his time at the club, and when he did, he opted to display his dissatisfaction rather than work to overcome it.

Robbo (and others) was able to say – I disagree with the club, I still think I have something to give – Even if he was wrong, he didn't burn bridges on the way. Heck, even Brucey managed a difficult exit without staining his legacy.

Plays every game like he's trying to prove something to anybody but himself.

It was all about Beamer, always.

Don't even get me started. He was even more gutless.

Moloney... Lol

Sylvia... Lol

Cancerous, self-interested and arrogant.

That's what comes to mind, regardless of their 'service' to the club. (They were highly paid players, I'll be sick if someone says they were great 'servants').

Cancerous? Over-paid?

Yes of course! The year Beamer won a Bluey we won more games than the collective games won for the 3 years transpiring that.

So glad the cancer was removed, great call Stevey.

But! I will agree you're right about Sylvia.

Over-paid?... I said highly paid Carlos Santana.

And yes, of course he was cancerous. He may have loved the club, but the way in which he played, instructed his teammates and carried himself was in an extremely selfish manner. I don't care how many bluey's the bloke won. That said more about the state of our midfield and list then anything else..

I am appreciative of him giving his all on game day, but he was definitely having more of a negative influence on the 'team' then a positive one. That has been well documented, and evidenced by his departure from the club.

did anyone see ch7 sport last night. They showed a clip fron Jonno Brown when he was miked up for his game against richmond. He was caught sledging Pettard when he was the loose man back in defence. Brown was basically telling him to earn a kick instead of chasing the easy ones and told him to actually man up on an opponent and said this is why the dees got rid of you.

    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. 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
