Ex Demon and Lion, Brent Moloney, has signed on with the Tigers for season 2015.
Originating from Warrnambool, Victoria, Moloney supported the Demons as a child and his hero was Allen Jakovich, who played for Melbourne. Moloney played in the TAC Cup for the Geelong Falcons.
He was drafted in the 2003 pre-season draft by Geelong, and made his debut with Geelong Football Club in round 14, 2003. In 2003 Moloney received an AFL Rising Star nomination.
Moloney was traded to the Melbourne Demons following the 2004 AFL season. Injury sidelined him for much of his early time with Melbourne, seeing him play only 27 games in his first three seasons. He injured his shoulder in Melbourne's Round 11 match against Collingwood in 2008, sidelining him for the rest of the season. In 2011 Brent was awarded Melbourne's best and fairest.
In September 2012, Moloney became the AFL's first free agent, when he announced that he would leave the Melbourne Football Club. On 10 October 2012, he agreed to accept an offer from the Brisbane Lions.
Following a successful recovery from shoulder surgery, he was able to train injury-free for the whole of the 2009 pre-season,[4] and he went on to play every game for the season finding his form back with many consistent performances. His return to his consistent best in 2009 was highlighted by his career-best statistics in every category except kicks – he had the most number of disposals, handballs, goals and marks of any season in his career to that point.
On 11 August 2014, Moloney retired from AFL football following an achilles injury.
President Scott tells us that, not only will Brent will be playing for Noosa, he will join the coaching staff as well.
