Player Watch Darcy Moore

[eddiesmith]

So you say Moore as a Dud?

Thanks for the Laugh

He's not a dud, he just cant mark or kick, but seems he is a great spoiler, an improved Nick Maxwell without having bags of goals kicked on him.

 

[eddiesmith]

There was never a comparison between the two players. Buddy was brought up as an example of the fact that you don’t have to be good at standing body to body in a wrestle and taking marks the way Cloke did to be a gun full forward as Buddy is a champion one of the best the game has ever seen and that is not his go.

You mean like the good old traditional full forward? Its a laughable comparison anyway as Moore has none of the qualities that Buddy possesses, unless he has the same off field habits?

Can't mark? He took a few on Friday, and plenty in the 2nd JLT.

Not sure if you are a troll or a moore hater ,either way the last three comments of yours are laughable

I never said that he was like Buddy in any other way than trying to play like Travis Cloke isn’t either of their go. If you were going to compare Moore to anyone in terms of the way he plays it would be Joe Daniher

Probably a good comparison as Essendon usually do better when he doesn't play as well don't they?

He can mark, he's a better mark than Buddy.

Why the Moore hate? You can't possibly think he's shit.

 

[Ulahoopski]

I look forward to Darcy taking Lynch completely out of the game on Thursday night.

I'd love to see it, but I think they'll probably play Roughhead on Lynch.

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha

Shit? Maybe, maybe not

Overrated? Oh most definitely!!!

Fact is the team plays better when he isn't there and when he is, we lose! You can't ignore the facts

 

[sirlothie]

I'd love to see it, but I think they'll probably play Roughhead on Lynch.

I reckon Lynch is more dangerous, I hope Darcy takes him. Jack wants to take hangers too bad he foils himself.

So you reckon we are better off with Langdon as our main defender?

What is one thing Moore has done to make us lose? He's not jinxed, he's just been unlucky the games he's happened to play have all been against top sides. It's nothing to do with him, he definitely makes us better.

I view it the other way. Don't get the Lynch hype.

 

[sirlothie]

I view it the other way. Don't get the Lynch hype.

I could just tell the way he read and marked the one Jack went up for that he's going to be dangerous. He kicked a lot of goals for Gold Coast even though they are shit so with more opportunity at Richmond I'd put a sneaky wager he ends up with more goals than Jack this year. Just a sneaky one.

Glad to see that both coaches disagree with your damning assessment, giving him coaches votes last Friday. The only Collingwood player to receive them.
Your assessments are so far different to my own that I can only conclude that you are taking the p*ss quite frankly.
Moore was school athletics captain at Carey, is very quick accordingly. He's also courageous, is being asked to take our kick ins (don't get me started on Howe's consistent errors). To blame one player for our team's losses is ridiculous from a small sample size too. Do you exclude those games where Moore broke down and left us down in rotations and undermanned? Not a function of his poor play, merely his fragile physical state.
And yes, he's clearly a better mark than Buddy for mine, who is a relatively poor contested mark, but has great athleticism and a booming kick.
I think Moore is the best mark at our club at present, save Howe and Elliott - better than Cox, Mihocek, Roughead, Dunn amongst our talls.

Darcy is a show pony. And as we all know show ponies are all potential legends.
Darcy has the potential to be an out and out legend of the game.
Highly skilled, incredibly athletic, built for the game.
Please don't compare him to Daniher.
Daniher has a terrible mustache, Moore has a show pony hair style. The show pony hair style is far more preferable than the mustache.
Also, a fit Moore that can string some games together will be far superior to Daniher.
He is the ultimate show pony, and he is our show pony.
If he remains fit then watch out. This kid is special.

You feelin' OK Otto? Creeping towards praise of the show pony. Maybe take a deep breath and re-think.

PS, I agree about the Daniher mustache. Its a shocker. He lives near me somewhere, I see him around with his girlfriend. And I always notice the mustache first, then the distinctive 'Daniher' visage, which he cant help of course. Feel sorry for the guy, seems to have ongoing injury/body issues. The way Essendon played on Sunday, they'd be desperate to get him back.

They're not facts, they're your conclusions based on your interpretation of data. The coaches assessment of his performance last Friday is also at odds with your "facts".

"I choose to interpret an incredibly complex set of many many factors in a small sample size in a particularly ridiculous manner and that makes it a fact"

I will agree that Moore breaking down with injury has lost us games, but in general we are obviously a better team with him playing.

Neither of those things you implied are facts.

Langdon, Dunn and Howe is much better defensive line, it got a relatively poor team into a GF! Our lack of class up front eventually cost us but the team got into a GF after years of poor results and the key difference? Moore was injured most of the year and they didn't bring him back for finals when he was fit because they know he doesn't make the team better.

If you think Geelong is a top side then wow...They'll be lucky to make the 8, then again so will we if Moore plays too many games

Fantastic, they gave him votes for his defensive work, obviously not his piss poor effort with the kick ins.

People saying Moore is a good mark have very short memories, there is a reason we struggled for a few years whilst he was our main forward!

cum hoc ergo propter hoc

Neither of those things you implied are facts.

Actually our high winning record, 85% without Moore and our horrible record, 12% with Moore are facts and cannot be denied

Oh chill mate. One defender can't dictate winning or losing every game unless it is deliberate. Your facts are from early years when the team wasn't performing well at all, while Moore was playing forward and struggling, and mostly in the games last year when he got injured - yes it left us a hole that we couldn't recover from. Give him a go when he is fit and willing and when the team is doing okay.

What's your peeve against him anyway? Give the kid a fair go.

So Darcy Moore top 10 in the league for contested marks 2017 yet his inability to mark was the reason we were crap

 

[jackcass]

Agreed he always had high contested mark numbers. They are tend to be more pack marks then standing body to body but I don’t recall seeing one pack mark taken in our forward line last week

Factor in where he usually takes those and it was more often than not between the arcs with the big F50 contested mark the exception rather than the rule. I'm not questioning Moore's capacity to become a very good KPF, but I think we'll see this year he can become an elite defender in the same discussion as the McGovern types.
