Will Moloney get a vote?

Almost impossible against Gawn; this is despite his value to the Team across several years - some games and efforts were terrific and thus worthy of praise and recognition.

 

Moloney was good for a few years but he [censored] me by the end. Grab it in the middle and just smash it on the boot without looking.

Gawn has already outdone him and should have a few years left hopefully

I dreamed last night that Max Gawn decided he would leave the Dees to go elsewhere. If Moloney hadn't done the exact same thing (in real life), I might have considered voting Moloney over Gawn just based on that alone. Reality hits, however, and I must vote Gawn.

I watched the end of the “Miracle on Grass” between Brisbane and Geelong on fox footy the other day, and Moloney was massive in the last quarter. Kicked 2 or 3, and one straight out of the center was classic Moloney.

Still....Gawn easily.

Gawn easily, but I reckon Moloney could’ve been a great for us. I look back at the way the club shot itself in the foot in the Bailey/Neeld period and I can’t help but think about how many careers were adversely affected by it. 

Max has been a demon for his whole career so far. All Australian and dominant at times.

Brent was great for us but one dimensional - get it, kick it long. Might have been effective if the team was coached to take advantage but it didn't happen.

Max by far.

 

 

Max is a gun and likable character. He’s a superstar of the game and hopefully he’ll retire a premiership captain. He obviously gets my vote.

That said, I think Beamer is a tad underrated on here. When at his peak, he won a BnF and was basically the only competent midfielder we had. Even the likes of Nathan Jones were less capable and willing at the time. Beamer tried to lead at a time when we had no leadership and the club was a disgraceful mess. If he’d had better coaching and stability around him, I think he would’ve wound up far more accomplished and liked. I’ll always be grateful for his efforts, as he was the only one trying most weeks!

I watched that too. Beamer on his day was an animal and gets a tough wrap on here a lot of the time.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
