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.

    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 !!!

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

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

    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.

    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

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
