I know it's only the Herald Sun, but has nobody on demonland seen this?

I mean, I'm sure most dees supporters disregard it as rubbish, based purely on the fact that Moloney supported us a kid, but how much weight does that really hold?
In any case, I'm not aware of him having too many mates at Essendon.
He played for Geelong Falcons and is from Warrnambool - not many links I can see there.
I'm willing to bet that the Neeld and the club's new approach will have him desperate to stick around for some success with the club. That and the fact he wouldn't have Jamar serving him the footy on a platter.
Interestingly, it may make it easier for players to move clubs, but an aspect of free agency that I hadn't yet considered, is that the team poaching a player doesn't actually lose anything.
They don't have to trade away picks or players - they part with nothing.
The whole league supplies the player's original team with a draft pick.
