I won't be a Melbourne member next year if Molloy is the coach!

Looks like you need more than 4 Opals to win a final series if Molloy is coaching
Why should Molloy do anything different ? He just secured another extension with this result

Why all the Molloy hate? See it here constantly and really don't understand it.

Boomers got beaten by a better team BUT,
Whoever is responsible for the ongoing engagement of Molloy as coach of Boomers,needs a good kick up the derriere, they reappoint him at the start of the season rather than waiting until he finishes the season to see what he can produce, so then hes signed up for subsequent years. When will they get it through their heads hes not a good coach. Look at the players hes had, look at the ones hes let go an how they have flourished in the teams they went into , he stifles players , like he stifles plays. he was no different at the junior level. Its a shame because Boomers have every advantage re stadium, supporters , sponsors, and players, you would think by now they would wake up, perhaps now that Nelson has gone they may make that change.
Molloy has to go. Let Kereama take the reins. At least his teams play with passion and offensive organisation. Molloy has way too many chances with unlimited funding.

I have spoken to a player under Molloy and who has moved on to become a better player and she states that he does not instill confidence in a player. He would just stare her down. He has NO people skills. Hardly ever gave positive feedback.
It made her think "why am I here", "this coach does not trust me"
Melbourne's board needs a rocket up their #$%# for signing him for another 2 years before this season had started.
You'll need luck to win a GF Melbourne supporters if you keep Molloy.

Maybe that is the reason why Justin Nelson is moving on. Getting out before the you know what hits the fan. Obviously he made the decision to extend his contract being a true believer. Its a similar scenario with Ross Lyon at the Dockers. A player like Conti will eventually be advised by her management to choose AFLW as similar to Molloy.
How convenient for Conti. Now she can concentrate
On afl women's. No distractions.

Molloy getting constantly re-employed baffles me - he was a clear dud at the Taipans back in the early 2000s and set that club back years. He may not have good people skills but sure knows how to work it at job interviews!

Justin Nelson is the cancer
Care to elaborate on why/how?
It seems to me that he played the lead role in turning a club from the brink of extinction into a sustainable enterprise that plenty of other clubs would be trying to emulate.

I think Molloy needs better rapport with his players. Didn't kereama get sacked from NZ from failing at Asia qualifiers?
Talbot really disappeared in the series Vs Lighting & was outplayed badly by Nicholson over both games. Talbot didn't like the 360 degrees feedback that Molloy gave to her in Game 2 being critical of her defense of Nicholson & her general lack of effort. Talbot’s body language & eye rolling was priceless whilst Molloy was delivering this stern message.

Anonymous: BRO! Nelson has taken a new job in NZ and from the intel I get he built that club back to where it is with the help of Molloy and the board. So I think the cancer comment is a little unwarranted. Agree with Luuuc there are plenty of clubs out there who would love to emulate what they are doing.
Anony I am not so sure about fired???... 8 years as HC by his mid to early 30's is not a bad effort... https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/basketball/98985183/kennedy-kereama-steps-down-as-tall-ferns-coach. Name another coach anywhere else in the world with this experience at this age? The dude was awarded with one of NZ's highest coaching honours at their awards recently... Just not sure they do that to coaches they fire?

How many stars, how much money do you want to throw at winning a GF series before you work out what is the common denominator for lack of success? Molloy!!!!!!!!
NO other team would have re signed their coach for another 2 seasons before this one had ended.
