He will be at Collingwood next year, no doubt about that at all. He is not too thin, he has a decent body to build on. Plenty of solid blokes now, were thinner when drafted. He was quieter today, but he was sick during the week, and was not fed by the side very well today.

I thought the emergency services were going to bust through the doors at one stage. There was so many sirens going on around Simonds, I was worried that the stadium was going to burn down, or a lone gunman was going to run into the empty seats and have a seige with Cops. Something must of happened big nearby.

BOOOOOMMMM

When Moore is up and going it is hard to find a key position player who moves like he can. Agile, quick and athletic, Moore shifted around through the carnival, switching from defence to attack and back again. His best game came against Western Australia in round five with four goals, but he looks just as comfortable in defence. Some think the Collingwood father-son recruit would be in the first three or four picks if not already tied to the Pies.

Was always going to take our first round pick. People are kidding themselves thinking otherwise. Even if he had a terrible carnival, recruiters would pick him higher than our second pick on potential alone. Key forwards are hard to come by in the afl.

Considering we'll have a pick in the mid to high teens, bargain.

Exceptional news, would be pretty brilliant if our 2 best KPFs over this generation and the next were both father sons.
Cue father-son rule change: "Key position players cannot be picked as part of father-son selections".

You heard it here first! :thumbsu:

In fairness, the bid would have to be higher than out first pick to force us to use the first rounder, not just higher than the second.

But regardless, your point stands.

There be quite a few Clubs ahead of us that would happily Bid for Moore.

Carlton easily be Number 1. Because they need Talls and MM would just make sure we have to use our 1st Round Pick

Oh, no question. It's not even just the really bad sides though, you're taking about teams like North Melbourne, Essendon and Adelaide who could bid on him, and for whom he'd be a welcome addition.

Obviously it would be great if Moore turned into a great collingwood player.....point ive been making is there are no certianties. Ayce Cordy certianly isnt doing much as a former 1st round KPF.

EIther is Tyron Vikery and shaun McKernan who were U18 champ AAs.

And Joe Daniher and Tom Hawkins, former father/son KPs who were also U/18 AAs, and the two most comparable scenarios to Darcy Moore, are both killing it.
