Player Watch Darcy Moore

[Milo the border collie]

Has Max Lynch played in the defense in the VFL?

No, ruck only from what I have observed. He played forward in the seniors last year and didn't look suited.

 

[jackcass]

Took it too literally Timmy Keane would be part of that discussion - my point was that Keane and other youngsters would be the main point of difference between the Buckley years and Harvey's tenure - however long that is.

I don’t expect too many selection changes under Harves. We may see more kids getting opportunity but that’ll be driven by either senior vacancy (replace JDG and Moore situations) or weight of performance at VFL level.

thanks mate

Mitch Duncan did a PCL today and is out until the prelim final if they make it.

PCL injuries have become the new syndesmosis in the last couple of weeks.

PCL injuries have become the new syndesmosis in the last couple of weeks.

And Robbie Gray has a medial which requires surgery and is at least 8 weeks. Knee injuries back in fashion.

Then we've hired the wrong person.

Fast ball movement might suit Darcy.

 

[jonmacTrag]

Fast ball movement might suit Darcy.

Interception with a free run at the ball is Darcy's go, especially being able to run on and settle where he can use that athleticism.

Forward line isn't like that - you have to lead out from goals and do a 180 if you want to run off.

 

[legendstatus]

Who the hell is Moore and why isn't he at the club any more #gonemissing

 

[gouki88]

Maybe. But he's the best tall defender in the competition alongside Harris Andrews. We don't need to mess with a good thing. We've had our experiments in the 2021 season. Think that's enough

 

[jimmy35]

I think Darcy would turn into a fine forward and may well benefit from a crisper ball movement but a AA quality key back should remain there.

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

If they don’t play him in defence they’d be better off trading him. He’s been tried and has failed on numerous occasions as a forward.
He isn’t Ben Reid

Just want to see him on the park for a sustained period tbh…

Yep agree

Yep he has disappeared off the radar. He lost his mantle as the best CHB in the game too with Aliir proving this last night.

I wouldn't mind seeing him tried out on the wing.

If we found someone to play CHB (a young gem like Sam Taylor would be ideal) I'd be all over this. He could be a Nick Riewoldt-type on the wing. 20 disposals, 8+ marks, potential to hit the scoreboard. He'd be a much more dynamic wing than WHE

Yes exactly who i was thinking. Nick Riewoldt type. I think Darcy would star in this role.
He wouldn't get as many injuries playing on big forwards as he does.

 

[Rorzza]

I'd have no problems with the new Coach over the off season transitioning Moore from CHB to CHF and becoming that much needed forward/chop out ruckman, by far the hardest position to play and needs players with talent to fill for long term success. Interestingly, I believe Moore would prefer to play forward too.

 

[stormskye]

Biggest issue is defenders are easier to fill than forwards. But I think we’ve seen Moore is a better defender. I doubt the new coach till trial him forward again, it’s been done.

 

[Sea fog]

Well the coaches will have already given their views on this to the selection panel. Most journos and watchers from other clubs who voice their opinion here tend to say that Moore is an elite defender, not an elite forward.

 

[Pistol Night]

Hes arguably the best CHB in the comp. Lets not over complicate things and leave him there

 

[No SPIN]

Interestingly, I believe Moore would prefer to play forward too.

Its a ball movement issue IMO - I think Pyke would have seriously considered making Moore a fwd if he’d taken the job.
Much cheaper to fill a defensive hole than find big bucks for King.
