Mooney has been playing a Foreign sport for under 2yrs ...
...and all some of you can do is put the knife in!!
The club coaches obviously see some potential in him!!
How do you know what the selection committee have or haven't seen?? Hope your not eating your words at season endindeed
Don't see anybody putting the knife in?
Opposition teams don't take it easy on a player because they're new to the game or young or whatever. All players need to earn their spot in merit.
Sure, Mooney needs patience from the development coaches because he is new to the game. But he is still expected to show improvement over that time.
Look at Shae Mac - he started from a low base and showed enormous improvement in his time at the club - he could kick well both sides, he could take a contested mark and kick goals. He could even bounce it on the run reasonably well for a big guy. But he didn't make it in the end.
The selection committee haven't seen so much potential this year.
He did enough in his first year to earn a second year. Let's see if he's done enough in his second to earn a third.
I really hope he makes it, I hope he becomes a superstar. I just don't think he will, I think he'll be delisted at season's end.

Stupidest comment this season imo.
I find it very difficult to read this post, as the words are so small.
Or maybe I need glasses.
The poster who said that Seedsman was a dud and needs to get delisted was probably worse but nothing else comes close imoNot sure if serious? There were plenty that would be worthy of that accolade.
Personally I don't see it with Mooney. But he was always going to take a while to learn. So if he has a free year on the rookie list then we should honour it. He has been a valuable VFL player at worst.

Mooney is fast but so were Mark Fraser, Jaxon Barham and Black Caviar. Mooney is the 3rd best footballer of that lot. Yagmoore is a better footballer and he's shown very very little to suggest he will make it at senior level. Given Mooney is an iternational rookie I don't have an issue keeping him on the list for another year but he's a mile behind Marty Clarke and he is not going to make it. Mooney's senior games have been the worst games played by a Colliongwiood in the last 2 years.
If we can retain him on the rookie list (which I'm almost certain we can) then we should.
I see more future in Mooney than I do in Clarke.
I would like to see Mooney trialed down back.
Sinclair has looked better down back with the way he uses his pace and with Mooney starting to take the game on more this season this may be the best way for him to display his talents once he has 10+ games into him down back and understands the role.
I agree, but for a different reason. I don't understand why we have attempted to teach the game to Mooney and Richmond through playing them in the forward line. The back line is a much better place to see the game unfold and learn to read the patterns.
