Brent Moloney Departing MFC

Apparently Port have sounded out Brent's manager.

Port Adelaide target Melbourne Demons club champion Brent Moloney to add some midfield grunt

Here is the question: Which camp do you belong to:

No way, never, he's a club champion!

OR

Bring on more compensation picks!

Or possibly one of the proverbial Fifty Shades?

 

I hope he enjoys living in Adelaide.

I doubt he is in Neeld's 2013 plans.

I belong in the camp of Beamer and our 2nd round pick for Boak.

If that doesn't work, Beamer and our mid first round compo pick for Boak.

 

Seems like his time is up, move him on. We need picks in this draft.

I belong in the camp of Beamer and our 2nd round pick for Boak.

Can he be included in a trade seeing hes a free agent?

He won't be traded. He's a Free Agent. I have my doubts that we'd offer what Port is willing to, so he is free to walk.

AFAIK, he can, but Port would be stupid to do so.

 

I think it would be a pity to see him go because he's been a staunch and loyal Demon for many years and would give a lot to the Power.

I suppose it's part of the changing football landscape.

He gave us bugger all this year...

hopefully their is a bidding war for him to his value goes up and better compensation for us.

then he ends up at GWS and points yells at them all summer and makes Scully cry.

Im in that camp

Great bloke. Has bled red and blue for 6 years up until 2012. One bad year and he is gone.

Rewind to the end of 2012. B&F club champion. He spoke about how you can play for the club or ^&%#$% off.

How fickle we are? Is it a club ... or a business? Don't complain about Scully etc if you offload Beamer after one poor year. Aaron Davey has had 3 shockers !!!

Its a bit disappointing to see though, club champions fall from grace.

Ill be sorry to see him go because of what he has given us prior to this year but in the whole scheme of things its for the best.

Rewind to the future? oooookaay then..

I would imagine it would be in Port's best interest to try and get suitable compensation for losing Boak. By trying to "outbid" us to get Moloney could see them paying overs. If they want the best for their Club, they would listen to a Moloney & Draft Picks trade offer from Melbourne.

If he was unrestricted, different story obviously.


I agree with Jurrahcane. Plenty of good players have one bad year. If he has the hunger to bounce back I hope we retain him.

I doubt we'd get a compensation pick. Would we?

I believe we would, dont no exactly but its something to do with the amount he gets to what our compensation will be.

I doubt we'd get a compensation pick. Would we?

I think we would, but I think they are a lot less generous with compo picks with FA, so it probably wouldn't be much more than a late second rounder.

I am keen for him to stay though.

According to afl.com.au

A player has served eight or more seasons of AFL football at one club, is one of the top 25 per cent highest-paid players at his club, and is now out of contract for the first time since reaching eight seasons of service. (restricted free agent)

The player is eligible to field offers from all rival AFL clubs.

If he wishes to change clubs, the player must decide on the best offer of his choice from one rival club.

His club has the right to match the presented offer.

If the club matches the offer, he may choose to remain with his original club, seek a trade or enter the Draft.

If the club does not or can not match the offer, the player can move to the new club of his choice.

His original club will receive a compensation pick for the loss of the player, on an AFL-determined formula to apply where clubs lose more free agents than they gain in any single transfer period.


I agree with Jurrahcane. Plenty of good players have one bad year. If he has the hunger to bounce back I hope we retain him.

Junior I doubt it has escaped your notice but we have a poor list.

Changes have to be made, if we cling to every player who once played good games we will stay anchored to the bottom.

For whatever reason Moloney has been poor this year.

His contract is up

He is a restricted fee agent

This will be his last contract

He obviously sees his future else where or his agent would not be putting out stories from early this year.

I think he has played his last game in the Red and Blue sad but that is AFL in the 21st Century

I doubt we'd get a compensation pick. Would we?

Yes we would, however, that would be negated if we bought in a free agent

Lose a player to free agency, you gain a pick. Bring one in, that's seen as compensation enough

I'd like Beamer to stay personally

I think he has good football left in him despite a poor year and there will be enough changes to the list and lost experience as is

didnt i read somewhere that Moloney has only been at the dees 6 years? Which would not make him a RFA as it needs to be 8? I know I am wrong here somewhere but not sure where...

 

The only decent game he played this year was against Essendon. The club he tried to get to last year.

Says it all. He doesn't want to be here.

Form is everything on Demonland. If you are out of form then very few people on here will stick by you. Regardless if you have been a good loyal player in the past or not.

Such is demonland.

Moloney plays like he has O.P. Tries his guts out but his body wont let him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
