Player Watch Darcy Moore

[loki04]

We have different memories. I remember him running under the footy way too much and his opponent reading it better and marking behind him. Judging on last night, I still think getting a bit too far under the ball in aerial contests is an area he needs to work on.

I didn't see it as an issue outside of him being too weak or skinny at the time, something correctable with development. In other words didn't see it as an issue he would have from 23-30 years of age.

I guess i judge a kid less harsh then a bloke whilst new to the game still a fully grown man who should at the least be able to compete physically.

So its ok to label a player as crap who has only been playing AFL football for 3 years and the game for less than 5, but its wrong to judge another player on their first 3 years of AFL who had been playing their entire life and had pretty much a guaranteed AFL career thanks to their father...

Interestingly enough Cox managed 25 goals last year, not bad for his 3rd year of AFL...

How are those stats looking mate?

Amazing, last night he doubled the amount of times he has sung the team song over the last 2 seasons!

Or perhaps you just judge Coxy a bit too harshly.
About once a game Coxy has a marking effort that looks embarrassing, because he seems to just crumple at the waist like a broken giraffe, but it's the same result as the multitude of times that other forwards are outmarked in a more regulation manner.

Its more then once a game.

For what ever reason vs Richmond he has no issues but many other teams have him sussed on how to move him under the ball off the ball and flat out just out mark him like Taylor did a few times in the geelong game..

He'll lose his voice from singing it so much this year and your stupid stat will be put to bed for good.

He thinks we are a worse side with Moore in it because Moore happened to play in a lot of our losses last year. Kid has issues.

Man that is some crazy shit

Man that is some crazy shit

We have a few of them on these boards jmac just let it slide over you mate.

 

[TradeDraft]

I think he would be a better forward but using him down back may be more impactful right now.

Espically now with Dunn all but finished doing his ACL again

 

[legendstatus]

Who would've thought he would be a star defender .......

Just about everyone who knows anything about footy?

Actually I labelled him as someone who needs to improve his game (many aspects including consistency) or he becomes a liability in the team when does sweet fa but get out pointed and ran off all night.

Thought he was good vs Richmond but they are his bunnies, I want to see that as his standard.

Bit disingenuous there Eddie. Darcy played in six premierships as a junior, captaining four of them and was in the key representative teams. His coach at Oakleight Chargers where he captained them to the TAC flag, thought he was the best big man in that draft. Even as Darcy Smith he still would have been selected early.

He was a very hyped talent no doubt, but I was as much talking about opportunities he got in his younger days and the fact he grew up with football in his blood. Sons of guns are destined to play AFL football and do, most earn their spot but they have a lot more help on the way than a Darcy Smith would

Cox had as much impact in 3 years having not had any background in the game!

You will pot Darcy any way you can, and discredit anything he does do. Did he steal your girlfriend?

His father said he didn't want Darcy to play AFL and did not push him into it but apparently when he went down to the juniors his talent stood out so much and Darcy loved playing that he pursued the career he wanted.

 

[dingoboy]

Also would prefer darce forward but he is breaking out this season down back.
With Dunn gone and Will Kelly not ready he's pivotal now.

 

[jimmy35]

Nah he’s more important and potentially much better down back. Rance or Reiwoldt, who was/is more important for the Tiggers in the last couple of years?

*in a far better team which moves the ball quickly and sets up F50 entries which are at least half to the advantage of our forwards the majority of the time.

When Darcy came on the scene as skinny 19 year old he was the focal point for a team that was rapidly heading downhill and progressing towards being a unit which moved the ball at a snail's pace and couldn't manufacture a decent I50 to save itself most of the time.

I actually feel bad for all of our forwards during that era - the concept of kicking the ball to advantage was something that was largely alien to players up the ground as a collective group over his first 2-3 years.

 

[Apex36]

Think Darcy would be killing it this year regardless of whether he was forward or back. He’s fit, has grown in to his body and is looking full of confidence.

It’s easy to forget that his numbers were remarkably similar to those of Daniher in his first few years, before he matured and started to dominate in a better team. If he was playing forward this year I’d happily put money on him kicking between 40-50 goals, but I’m happy to see him become an AA defender too!

 

[Albert Parker]

You'd need Andrews to go down again for there to be any chance of that happening.

Yes, a leading contender along with Harris Andrews, who I am a fan of.
Along with McGovern, I think they may well be the key backs in the AA team this year.

 

[CFC2010]

Good article in The Age today in regards to Darcy

Just keep Saintly Viewed away from him this year and I think he will only get better as the year progresses.

I don’t know any Darcy.

What’s a Darcy.

Sounds like done hair mix, a little bit blonde a little bit black.
