I make that out to be total bullshit.

I wouldn't take him in the top 10. If Collingwood get him, it'll be around about where he'd go if he wasn't a father/son prospect.
Most if not all phantom drafts from. Bigfooty and afl.com.au have him in the 3-6 range. He's the second best kpp in this draft apparently

They can think however they like, I certainly wouldn't take him in the top 10 and I highly highly doubt any recruiter rates him as the best talent of the crop.
 
Isn't it funny that every single F/S or academy pick is ridiculously overrated...one minute Heeney was a borderline first rounder now he is the best mid in the draft...same with More, surely McCartin is still viewed higher.

Ok, who then seeing you are so sure he ain't worth pick 6? The guy (Moore) according to 3 AFL recruiters who I know rate him clear number1. Make it what you will.
Yep so apparently Collingwood is getting a kid rated at pick 1 and everything is fine but when sydney get a kid rated in the top 5 all hell breaks loose and eddie whines to the AFL.

The amount of people on BF who 'know recruiters' is staggering. The amount of recruiters known by posters who are happy to spill their guts is even more staggering.

I know three people employed to spot for AFL clubs and I can't ever get a word out of them. They're tight lipped, won't even discuss a player's game or anything. It's a secretive industry, I very much doubt any recruiter would be saying anything like that.

Kid looked good in patches in the VFL last week.

He will be coming to us it's a sure thing. Has heaps of good attributes in his game but like any young kpp he will need a few years to develop. Probably not up there with number 1 pick but more likely would be 5-10 pick.

That's why I think Blues should have a crack at him

You won't get him, Collingwood will match it and get him with their first. Although the Blues are more likely to bid on Heeney.
 
Pies would have other options though, don't ness have to go for Moore

LOL nice try...Collingwood would use lets say pick 9-10 (depending whether Melb receive a 1st round compensation for Frawley). That is more than value for Moore. It isn't THAT much a bargain though. Probably rated in the 5-12 range, and Collingwood get him right in the middle of that range. Pies need a tall post Cloke anyway. No issues.

You could have drafted Talia instead of Kane Lucas for starters! Stop trying to nick other teams father sons.
 
We have Pretty Much already Committed to him

Rightly so, however people complaining that it is a bargain...it isn't. You are getting a player lets say rated at 6...at 9 or 10....the whole 3 positions, the horror lol

Won't happen with the academies either. Sydney's getting lucky with (potentially) two in two years, but are they going to be better than the likes of Viney, Libba and Moore, taken as father/sons over the last few years? In general they're going to be as random amongst the northern clubs as father/sons are across everyone else, it's just that we see a streak early, it's going to the strong club out of the four northern clubs, and so people get up in arms.
No, it's that northern clubs get both F/s AND Academies and likely a higher volume from Academies than F/S. 3 highly talented prospects in 2 years to one club is highly, highly unusual to the point of I don't think it ever having happened under F/S rules.

I would imagine that recruiters would be more open on a player who is clearly heading to one club and one club only...?
 
With all the negative for the game over the last few days the father son is something that still puts some heart in the AFL. I hate Collingwood with a passion but Darcy Moore should have the option to play at the club his dad did. Just a little bit of romance left, let's keep it.

To an extent. I haven't asked about Darcy but I did get a better than usual response about Waterman.

There's still a lot of uncertainty though especially with the new system that's being mooted and giving a detailed analysis of Moore's range also passively implies things about other players in their eyes and all that. I think it's just a blanket kind of principle, it's far easier to be tight lipped across the board than selectively pick and choose at when.

Not completely impossible, Darcey Moore sooner or later will be invited for tour around VISY Park to check out the facilities
