The annual put Moore forward argument.

Darcy is Moore of a forward than you think

Here’s my annual call to throw Darcy Moore forward. Lots of people argue that he shouldn’t be moved. That’s fine. Moore has emerged as an elite defender. My issue is some of the arguments espoused against throwing Moore forward. Let’s have a look at those. Darcy Moore has never really shown...

[jmac70]

How so?

It’s fiction.

 

[jackcass]

It’s fiction.

Well it’s strongly opinion based and written by someone I doubt has any greater inside knowledge than we ourselves hold.

Well it’s strongly opinion based and written by someone I doubt has any greater inside knowledge than we ourselves hold.

Each fictional point is responded to as fact. Like I said, utter trash.
We have far more insightful posters here.

 

[Carringbush2010]

It’s fiction.

I'm guessing you didn't read it?

 

[Carringbush2010]

You don't actually expect him to expand on that, do you?

Be interested how Jmac comes up with a valid reason for the criticism.

 

[jmac70]

That’s incorrect.

Only because of our list imbalance, if we had a proper KPF instead of a basketballer this discussion would cease.

 

[Carringbush2010]

I already replied.

Yes Jmac great argument, you've convinced everyone that the whole article is trash - well done.

Mind you, you haven't explained why you think it's trash. Just blunt reactive 'it's trash' with no substance. I'm interested to know why you think it is.

If you don't want to fair enough, I'll take that as you don't have an argument and are just being reactive because it is not positive.

It’s trash because each point has been made up by the author. It’s nothing more than a rant. That website is not media.

 

[Carringbush2010]

That’s incorrect.

Incorrect that you didn't read it or the article is incorrect?

That's better, I agree it is opinion based, by a pi55ed off Collingwood supporter. Some of it is rather sensationalised I agree but there are some very good points in there and explains the reason for the scribes frustration and the Pie fan base more broadly.

If you wish to ignore that purely because you don't like it because there maybe some hard unpalatable truths then that is no better than

I have no problem with someone voicing their opinion. Like I said, we have better and more informed scribes here.
The Roar is not media, it’s just another blog site.

That does not make the article 'trash', that maybe your view but doesn't make it automatic just because you think so.

I actually agree with you. Just another opinion by an opinionated supporter on a blog site.

 

[Sea fog]

I think the writer is a pretty good one and I follow his rant, he's been following the club for years. Only thing I object to is he is a bit pessimistic and struggles to see any good in the club. The Moore forward is a tired argument and according to the trainin reports, he will be staying back.

Being a good writer and someone who has followed the club for years doesn't make him any more knowledgeable than you or I. Could just as easily be any one of a number of posters who post here regularly. Certainly doesn't validate or confirm anything that has occurred this off-season.

I don't think it's pretending to be anything else. It's basically a very lengthy big footy post that's been published on a different site. I did agree with a lot of it though.

I’m not quite sure that is correct

 

[Robroy22]

So, someone voicing their opinion gets someone else's opinion as a response but the responder's opinion is howled down because it's just an opinion....In my opinion this is all pretty senseless stuff.
On the other hand...clean surf down the coast this morning!

A lot of Pies went to the Melbourne Victory game against Western United yesterday wearing the new team's colours. A few of them pose here.

Now I’m no Western United supporter but as someone who is as passionate about the A-League as I am about AFL, this is a pretty heartening reminder that despite all the code wars rubbish it doesn’t actually have to be a choice between one or the other when it comes to following football codes.

Who is going to tell them that the Western United skipper has adopted Carlton as his footy team though (going by some of his Twitter content)?
