Do you think he'll never get over his OP?

Is it really that bad, despite him playing the entire 2005 season and finishing top 5 in our B&F?

Sorry to quote myself, but just found this article in the Herald Sun:

Extra load buries Moloney

A lot of fluff about bouncing back and all that, but also...

-Melbourne aimed to ease Moloney back this season, slowly increasing his workload. But the dire shortage of players during games forced him to push on.

-Yze had scans this week to check for osteitis pubis, but it's believed the results were not season-threatening.

"It's more hip-flexor and groin at the moment. We just want to monitor that and make sure it doesn't become a fully osteo case," Daniher said.

No word about Rivers. Maybe the Ch.10 reported confused Rivers with Yze? :mellow:

Moloney is so valuable and we missed his long kicking a drive out of the middle last year. We need him and Brock and Jonesy in there as there are all so rugged and hard working- Bruce and Johno with the class and Junior is the little dynamo. Bmer got 3 clearances in a row against Geelong this season and that game was a good example of his style. We need him back

Not at all Jaded. Sorry for my 'absolute' statement. I just see Moloney as the most mismanaged of our OP boys, and I see his road back to be the longest.

how is it not fact that rivers has OP when daniher said so himself in the interview on channel ten news...came from his lips

i agree finks. i think he needs be be sat out for 8-12 months absolutely nothing. then he shouls resume closer to the start of next season and aim for a return through sandy, half a game round 1 perhaps. he is too valuble a player to have on and off the park. if we ever get brock moloney sylvia and jones up and running we will have a very hard midfield winning a lot of ball, getting a lot of clearances. if that happens while we have travis, bruce and green on the outside feeding to neitz and robo we are definetly a chance to finish highly.

to think that of our 4 hardest inside midfielders jones (10-odd games) is the only one who has played most of this year and and even he was injured at a time.

Don't write off Moloney - I don't believe he's 'damaged goods'.

Also, how do you get those fancy quote things to work?

Heya,

You can hit the reply button and it then automatically puts the quote 'tags' around the text. You can then edit that down to simply include the bits that are relevant to what you're saying :)

You can also do it manually -

[quote name='Rogue' date='Jun 1 2007, 05:53 AM' post='77670']text here[/quote]

That appears like this:

When you hit the reply button it automatically adds the name and date etc, but you can simply do the following:

[quote name='Rogue']text here[/quote]

text here

or...

Sorry for this off-topic post, but I hope that helps you and maybe some other people too :)

No one is looking for a scapegoat

Just look at his recent history at Hawthorn.........and now with us

He is probably a really nice guy

IMHO We need to cast the net as wide as possible and try and recruit someone who has the runs on the board at AFL level

Thoughts?

Honestly, stop clutching at straws. I suppose the guy at St. Kilda is BB "s students as well. Unfortunatley we haven't got the stars of a West Coast, Sydney etc so everyone on our list or on the park has to be performing at their optimum, and as one unit. When we get a few injuries or loss of form, we are going to fall away. I think our coaching/ training staff do the best with what they have, and blaming one guy for our misfortune is simplistic. :huh:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
