Poor Ricky is all over the news, as every media outlet feels the need to remind us all how close he came to dying.

If he wants to take the rest of the year off, he should.

However, Chris Fagan and our club doctors have said that he could be back this season.

Get the feeling Bruce will probably play and Carroll should be alright.

So changes should be simple this week. Out: Ricky, In: Bruce.

What about Beamer? He's played a couple game in the ressies and I think he is a very important part of our future.

You would not think there is much point in rushing Moloney back?

If he does not play again this year, that's almost two years out of the game. :unsure:

He would want to make next year happen otherwise the game will pass him by.

I wish him well.

Given how much footy he has missed and IF he is fit then we should play him. He has missed a lot of football.

Madness, how much game time has Beamer had in the past two weeks?

Future being the operative word.

He played one game for Sandy reserves and has just come into the Sandringham 1sts.

I don't think he's fit enough yet; he's certainly not dominating at Sandy yet from what I've read.

That's enough to be AFL match fit IMO, who cares if hes only performing average, we need to get some match fitness into him ASAP, I cannot begin to describe how underrated the importance of his presence in the team is, he's one of my favorite players so this might be a tad bias but still. :P

In saying that, if the selection squad decide to give him 1 more week to prepare his body for AFL, then that's fine by me...

David Neitz (hamstring) - test

What the hell, at the end of last week he was 2-3 weeks. IMO there is no point in risking him, keep playing Newts at FF and give him as much experience as being one of the main foward targets.

As for Moloney, i really hope he can shake this OP. When he's out on the park he's one of my favourite players, but he's got to get out there!

yes ...surely Neeta is a longer term probability..at least 3-4 ; absolutely no sense rushing back..might only harm the preseason and hence nest year.

Ive been wonderig about Beamer for some time. Some hard and uneviable decision may be made by this club as certain realities may overtake hopes and aspirations.

Carroll will be watched this week, but yod think hes better than evens to play.

Retaining him would be a smarter choice than ditching him and getting an extra very low draft pick IMO.

it wouldnt be a matter of choosing to let him go erally, it may simply come down to a reliabilty/value for money / he's using a player's spot etc etc. some decisions are unplatable...but necessary. At full tilt Beamer is a gun, 1/3 fit and its the knackery!! thats life :unsure::(:unsure:

Surely it comes down to exactly that - choosing whether to let him go or keep him.

As I said, I suggest retaining him is far better than getting a very low draft pick.

If his fitness means we're having this discussion in a year's time then sure, maybe it's the end of road. Way too premature to do now IMO.

I hear the sentiments..and I certainly hope he's on the mend. Otherwise really he's not adding to the equation, like it or not. If he doesnt play this year he will definitely be put under the microscope. This will sound harsh but there can be no rrom for pasengers in the team going forward, even if its a 1st class ticket !!

Hypothetical, he's traded at yeas end ...how is irrelevent , but he affords some value posibly to another team prepared to take a punt, or.....his injuries force him to call it a day. No return.

Its just a scenario....a plausible one even if not maybe probable.

remember...its about the team

I can see where you're coming from, but I imagine we both think it's not worth delisting Moloney on the evidence so far.

I think Moloney's trade value would be extremely low, so I can't see that as an option. However, like any player I think that if the price is right we should look at trading. Moloney is one player where I can't see the market paying a price worth taking.

Anyhow, let's hope he is on the mend :)

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
