Stats
Bio
Recruited from the local Middle Park CYMS, George Moloney was a wartime addition to the South Melbourne squad during the disjointed 1917 VFL season. Brought into the senior side as a twenty-two-year-old, he made his debut against Richmond in Round 2, filling a void in a lineup that fluctuated significantly due to the enlistment of regular players for the First World War. Standing 177cm, Moloney managed just one further senior appearance—a match against Carlton two weeks later—before dropping out of the league completely. His brief career remains a typical example of the era, representing the many local footballers called upon to keep the competition afloat during the lean years of the Great War.
