Well on what I have heard, Hine rates him very Highly
From Hine himself? Otherwise just here say. I don't doubt Hine rates him, but I am also sure he would rate quite a few. We just don't know how he rates Moore against the top 10.

Well on what I have heard, Hine rates him very Highly
He ticks more boxes for clubs than just his on field performances especially at collingwood.
Collingwood's 'pro et contra':
Pro
- Junior top ten draft talent with AFL potential - tick
- Arguably most athletic 200 cm range player in this years draft - Tick
- Testing in Combine ( obviously has not happened yet but he will test well against others his height, if in doubt you should go to one of his games, watch more vision of Darcy or listen to the experts) - Tick
- Collingwood list fit - Tick
- Position flexibility (could play a minimum of three positions at AFL level plus one or two outside the box) -Tick
- Performed at U18 nationals - Tick
- Performing at TAC level - Tick
- Intelligent - Tick
- Professional - Tick
- Good role models and mentors in his life - Tick
- Junior leader with AFL leadership qualities - Tick
- Collingwood F/S - Tick
- Passion for black and white - Tick
- Do other BF draft experts rate Darcy as top ten talent - Tick
- In partnership with Grundy/Lumumba he could develop a book club for other players to join and have something to do in between training - Tick
Contra
- Needs to work on footskills - Tick
- Needs to work on his endurance - Tick
- Needs three seasons in the gym - Tick
- Has had junior injury history - Tick
Decision based on 'pro et contra'.
Will other clubs rate him - Tick
Collingwoods pick Seven - Tick
Would I like to pick up second round - Tick (This would cause a rebellion by the Northern Clubs namely Sydney if Darcy is picked up by Collingwood for a second round draft pick) - Tick

I am not convinced we will take him if we have to give up our first round pick. I don't think he has shown enough yet to warrant that conclusion.
We had shown in recent years that we are prepared to pass on father son picks. If there are better players than Moore available at our pick we will not take him.
I remember the outcry when Adelaide went for Dangerfield over a local lad with their first round pick and then let him stay in Victoria to complete his studies. Like Adelaide we will take the best player available and that may not be Moore.
No doubt he's a really good prospect who ticks a lot of boxes, but so will anyone else we pick at pick 7.

Which is an issue as that's a great "nice to have", not a core attribute we need from a first round KPF, at this stage.The Biggest Tick Moore would get would be his Leadership Skllls

Said the same about James Stewart. He couldn't believe the stall in development over his last 12-18 monthsWas supposedly from hines own mouth at a BnW coterie function.
Thats alot of ticks for moore correct but hine will be the one getting the tick if we can land moore with a second round pick, hope hes a good poker player
Who would you pick if we finished with pick 7?

Not fussed if we pass on Moore with our first rounder if we don't think he's best available at 7-8. Happy if we take him if we think he is. Don't want us to overpay for him.
In terms of Hine rating him, I've heard that he also really rates Duggan.
The word was pretty direct, but was only that they were doing in depth due diligence on him and are big fans.
Now... it's probably true that they are a huge wrap for about 20 kids in this draft in terms of being prepared to use either their first or second round pick on them depending on who is available when that pick comes up.
I have no insight into whether they'd do that kind of work on all 20 of those prospects at this stage or whether they are now honing in a few. Without that info, can't say whether this was being thorough and having a good look at any kid who might be available, or an indication we have something specific planned.
If you see what I mean.
I did. Was his golden child until he all of a sudden went backwards in development. He just didn't come on as expected to be taken as highly as perceived. So poor was his final year that we didn't even nominate him as a father/son option (that surprised me actually. Thought we could have spent a third rounder on him)I never heard Hine be very keen on Stewart
