Prediction Darcy Moore v2.0

[jmac70]

In his debut year:

Games:9
Averaged 5.44 kicks, 3.22 marks, 3.56 handballs and kicked 9 goals.

With a full pre-season under his belt, what can we realistically expect from Darcy in his second year?

To start with his games played should rise considerably. Barring injury disaster he should spend most of his time as a forward and should start to hit the scoreboard more consistently. His disposal numbers are low so we would hope to see an increase there. He is the type of player who can influence a game without having high numbers though.

By comparison, in Cloke's second year he averaged 11.4 disposals but could only manage 6 goals with his breakout year coming in his third season.

So what will it be for Moore?

Breakout, slight improvement or go backwards?

 

[Seedsfan]

30 goals I think is realistic I can't see him kicking anymore than that

 

[Markfs]

I normally like to use the following options:
1. Praise him
2. Ignore him
3. Kick him


I think he'll be praised for most of the early part of the season if he takes a few high marks and kicks a few goals. However, I think people will start of ignore him if he doesn't take a few games by the scruff of the neck. Option 3 is for next year.

He didn't show an ability to win too many more disposals in the NAB cup, what he did show was an ability to get marks closer to goal. I'd hope for 4.5 marks per game and 1-1.5 goals a game. Less than 1 goal per game would be a poor return (assuming he plays predominantly inside 50) and more than 1.5 would be amazing.

 

[Pie eyed]

Now that Varcoe is injured he should get all the goals.

150 minimum.

 

[PepperFace]

70 goals or gtfo

 

[left at home]

slight improvement and somewhere between 20-30 goals.
this year still a learning year, will have one or two games where he will kick 4-5 goals, next year I reckon
will be his break out party

 

[PicaBoo]

30 goals at least. No Moore excuses.

 

[jmac70]

70 goals or gtfo

Cloke won The Copeland in his third year so anything is possible.

 

[Kappa]

Much the same of what he produced in his 1st year, he is still a very young KPF.. don't expect too much too early.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Now that Varcoe is injured he should get all the goals.

150 minimum.

That's it, breaking Hudson and Pratt record
(Now that Varcoe injured)

 

[sirlothie]

Assuming he lasts the whole season and doesn't tire out I reckon he will kick 35-40. I reckon he is going to be a star for the next 10 years.

(Now that Varcoe injured)

17 against GWS and 18 against GC.
Bookworm it doubting Thomasii....

Will be the best big forward since Peter McKenna. I've said it a hundred times.

This kid will be a phenomenon.


He's mine. All mine. I'll share with him with all the believers. The doubters can't doubt but this kid will be the big man in the game. We need to extend his contract by 5 years.

Peter McKenna was 191cm, so smaller than a lot of midfielders.

For his time he was a big man. It's all relative.

 

[Maggie5]

I am happy if he kicks goals but what I like about him is his quick thinking.
I can still see his quick hand pass whilst on the ground to another player who then kicks the goal.

speaking of relatives, maybe the best guide of all.............

Sorry, thirty five years behind the times .....

This generation does things much quicker than the previous ones. I'm betting that young Moore will keep this trend alive. Instead of the 4 it took daddy, the youngster will give us a very good look at what the future holds this year.

If they give us picks 1,2,3 Petracca, brayshaw, viney and hogan, well, then I might be willing to swap. If even chuck in josh Thomas to slightly favour them and get the deal done.

But we rock steady on keeping Jesse White? Untouchable?

 

[DAWESOME!!]

He still is about 190.

 

[neilk]

He still is about 190.

I'm his age and definitely shrinking, so he will be too

 

[boxy99]

Anything less then the Coleman, browlow and rising star then the normsmith would be a letdown.
