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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
