Mick Molloy worked with the D-Generation as a writer-performer on their 1988 Seven Network specials (he had auditioned for the D-Gen in 1986, but it wasn’t until the troupe saw him in the 1987 Melbourne University revue, Laminex on the Rocks, that they signed him up).

Molloy is one of the club’s more prominent supporters and as well as appearing on the Before the Game, he has in the past appeared in a club membership advertising campaigns. In June 2008, Molloy made comments on the show regarding Nicole Cornes, the wife of former Adelaide coach Graham Cornes, in which he suggested she had slept with footballer Stuart Dew. Nicole Cornes sued the Ten Network for defamation, and was awarded A$85,000 in July 2011. Molloy remained with Before the Game until it was axed at the end of the 2013 AFL season.
