What bunber is moloney and is he any good?

Moloney wears no 32.  He is a great player.  Everyone says that he looks like Garry Hocking.  Not sure if that's because he wears no32.  I must admit he does move a lot like Hocking.

20 yrs old

I'd take him and 16.

Clubs are certainly paying over the odds (kanagas, freo duds again!), if it is millers time to shine why can't we?

Hutchy reported Moloney and 16 is on the table and that cats and tiges are meetibg again tonight.

What bunber is moloney and is he any good?
Number 32. Born 28.1.1984 from South Warrnambool/Geel U18 in 2003 PSD at pick 4, 181cm, 86kg. Can't find my round 19 footy record so can't guess how many he played this year but prob around 17 for 25 total. Feature article in the Age (?) earlier this year comparing him to Hocking and not just for wearing 32. Puts head over the footy, hard-bodied.

From 2004 AFL Season Preview:

"Solidly built youngster who burst on to the scene late in the [2003] season and played in eight of the Cats' last nine games. Wearing the number 32 jumper made famous by Garry Hocking, in both looks and style Moloney bore many characteristics of the former Geelong star. Has pace and is a long, penetrating kick, assets that should take him further."

Take him if we can get him.

Ready
 
according to gossip Geelong , Melbourne and Richmond are staying late to sort things out.

Don't be suprised if the AFL people are given trade deals to process with their coffee when they arrive in the morning.
 
Take Moloney, pick 16 and pick 32. Keep pick 20 and get Simmonds in the PSD. Then shut up shop and go home. Then draft the best kids with 1,4,16,20,32,36. That's all !!
 
afl.com.au -- Dealing for Ottens drags on
5:59:31 PM Thu 7 October, 2004

Richmond football director Greg Miller remains confident the Tigers can secure two first round picks - including one in the first ten - for Brad Ottens even though the disgruntled ruckman's immediate future remained unclear on Thursday night with just one day of AFL trade week remaining.

With the deadline for all trades being 2pm Friday, Geelong - the club Ottens has publicly declared he wants to play for - remain the clear favourites to land the best player available in this year's trade period.

However after four days of negotiations the Cats and Tigers have still yet to reach an agreement meaning there is still a chance Ottens could fail to reach his preferred club and be forced into the pre-season draft - as was the case with Jade Rawlings and Nick Stevens last year.

The Cats are still working to get another first round pick, besides their own pick at number 16, in order to secure the deal with Richmond but are reluctant to give up any of their young stars to do it.

After rejecting the option of giving Collingwood talented forward Steve Johnson in exchange for its number seven pick, the Cats are now unlikely to secure a top ten pick.

Their best options now appear to be either to get pick 11 - which Fremantle has exchanged to Port Adelaide as part of the Josh Carr deal - or pick 12, which now belongs with Melbourne after Adelaide traded it for the Demons for Scott Thompson.

It is believed Port wants Corey Enright in exchange for pick 11 while Melbourne wants Brent Moloney in exchange for pick 12.

Should the Cats agree to either deal they would then be able to offer the Tigers two first round draft picks for Ottens, although neither pick would be in the top ten.

Miller maintained on Thursday that the Tigers would not water down their demands for Ottens.

"We still want a (draft) choice under ten," he said.

With Sydney now out of the chase for Ottens after instead agreeing to a deal for Melbourne ruckman Darren Jolly on Thursday, Geelong football operations manager Garry Davidson admitted his club had the frontrunning to secure the services of the big Richmond ruckman.

"You would have thought so but we have still got to do a deal with Richmond and get them to accept what we come up with," he said.

If only Ottens could have ever got this angry!!!!
 
I don't think it's a matter of caring where Otto goes T80, it's a matter of being suitably compensated for such a valuable player.
Surely you don't want to lose him for nothing?
Pay up Cats.

this idiot is obviously child-minded and is easily influenced that Geelong is a power again just because they made the finals.  If he showed a bit of common sense by nominating more than one club, it could've been a win-win situation for both us and him.
 
Re: 3AW Deal Ottens

this is a ok to good deal
because the different between 10 and 12 is not much
and major thing it a deal and we get somethnig for this played
 
I don't think its about being greedy, it's about taking a stance. Look at Port. They took a stance last year with Stevens.

When it came to dealing with Carr, it was taking the same stance. Freo and Carr knew they couldn't trump Port, so Port milked Freo for 3 draft picks.

If we show that we're a bunch of softc@cks with Ottens, everyone will think that we can be played like guitars.

It's time this club took a stance and looked forward. We're never going to be successful until we do.
 
Re: 3AW Deal Ottens

Thanks for the scoop ttt. Been waiting all week.
 
Re: 3AW Deal Ottens

can't complain too much though pity we couldn't get a mid 20s pick as well to give to freo so we can keep pick 20 and psd slot open...
