Stats
Bio
Arriving at South Melbourne from Middle Park CYMS, George Moloney joined the club during the disruption of the Second World War, linking up with his older brother Vin in the red and white. He debuted in 1943 and served as a useful forward option for the Bloods, booting five goals across his 11 senior games while the competition grappled with wartime player shortages. His VFL career was short-lived, concluding at the end of the 1944 season, but he represented a vital tier of footballers who kept the league operational during the conflict. Although his playing days were brief, the Moloney family retained a deep, multi-generational affection for the club, continuing their support well into the Sydney era.
