McGuire weighs in on Moore link to Tigers

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire has fired up at suggestions Richmond will throw a juicy contract offer at Magpies defender Darcy Moore.

After Alex Rance's shock retirement, the Tigers could use a replacement down back for the five-time All-Australian.

A Channel Seven report suggest Moore would be Richmond's main target to fill that void. Moore's management has denied there have been any talks with the Tigers.

McGuire said he was unaware of the link, but cheekily responded with reminders of the bitter trade war between the fierce rivals during the 1980s.

Richmond were so incensed by Collingwood luring stars Geoff Raines and David Cloke following the 1982 season they started recruiting other Magpies players as revenge.

The tug-of-war almost bankrupted both clubs, leading to Richmond's Save Our Skins campaign in 1990 when they were on the verge of collapse.

"The last time they started poaching from Collingwood, we put them in the bin for 30 years," McGuire said on Triple M radio on Tuesday.

"Wait if it ever comes true. The blood will be flowing down Punt Road and Hoddle Street again.

"When his father [Peter Moore] went to Melbourne [in 1982], that went down a treat.

"'Darce' going to Richmond – that'd be just really good, wouldn't it?"

Moore's manager Liam Pickering also weighed in on the report, but denied there had been any talks with Richmond about his client.

Pickering said talks with Collingwood remained ongoing.

"We caught up again the other week, but we've still got a bit of work do," Pickering said.

"We're negotiating, which means it's no way near over the line.

"I'm talking to Ned Guy [Collingwood's list manager] all the time, him and I have a fantastic relationship.

"There are a number of things they are trying to do at the moment."

Moore has played 71 games for Collingwood since making his debut in 2015.

After frequently switching ends early in his career, Moore starred in defence last year.

Big offers coming for Moore would put further salary cap pressure on Collingwood following ruckman Brodie Grundy recently signing a mammoth seven-year deal to stay with the Magpies.

Like Moore, star forward Jordan De Goey is also coming out-of-contract at season's end.

North Melbourne attempted to sign De Goey in 2018 with a five-year deal worth $5 million.

The Pies also re-signed captain Scott Pendlbeury on a one-year contract extension this week.

Imagine to see wearing the Big Vee.

Dees getting their core and non core businesses mixed up.

Men win the flag and women win the spoon and that's considered a failure?

Platitudes don't win flags.

Gives them an out of their team doesn’t turn around they can point to some sort of nebulous connection to their women’s team and club success.

Jeez

atleast our time fram was 10 years, enough to clear the list out and build the team


they plan to win a flag in 3

which means they think their current list, which finished 17th last year can win a flag with minor changes


i can only assume they plan on funding a bio weapons division and giving all 16 other clubs gastro during the season and playing Gold coast in the grand final.
