I don't think there's too much debate that Moore could become a very good defender. It's just that he could become an elite forward. I know which is harder to find.
Isn't there already a thread on the Moore to defence discussion?
Don't think so, if so I apologise and mods close thread!
Forward. Our backline held up well enough this year, I don’t really see the point in trying to strengthen it when our forward line is pretty bare.
Agreed. Even if we took Naughton at 6, I would be confident in him coming in and playing a role.I couldn't agree more, especially with several KPD available late in the draft this year.
Why not actually recruit properly so we get some to partner with McLarty down back so Moore can be left forward to play alongside LynchThere is a big chance he could move to the backline, yes our backline held up ok this year but how long can Dunn hold up for? He isn't getting any younger..
It almost seems some of you are purposely setting it up so there is something to complain about when it happens (no offence but this is how it seems) as i cant remember exactly who it was but i do believe one of the coaches said that Moore would be trialed in defence at times.
I would prefer him forward but i honestly think we are confident about Lynch at the end of next year so why not develop him into a defender if we are potentially going to get an elite KPF
I could be completely wrong at the same time as well, in which case i have no idea what the club are planning haha.
Well we potentially could try that in the draft this year. It will be interesting to see what direction the club takes.Why not actually recruit properly so we get some to partner with McLarty down back so Moore can be left forward to play alongside Lynch
Yeah what ever you don't need to talls. Knee jerk reaction right there, you need quality tallsWell we potentially could try that in the draft this year. It will be interesting to see what direction the club takes.
Also i think the way the game is heading you don't really need 2 talls in the forward line, 1 gun tall and the rest mediums and smalls seems to be the way to go these days.
Long term it's a silly idea, Darcy is always going to be best used as a forward/second ruck.
But for 12 months, or 22 games, it's not a terrible concept to teach Darcy the defensive side of the game. He will also learn more about how forwards position themselves and how hard the best ones work, simply by having to defend them.
Mclarty will be our CHB eventually, and I suspect we will just pick up another KPF through free agency or trade once Dunn is finished, but trying Moore down back in 2017 isn't a terrible idea, as long as it's for his development, and not an actual long term plan to play him as a defender or swingman.
There'd be some merit to that if he was actually poor defensively. For a young developing KPF he's actually okay in this area, his attack on the footy and endeavour very good. Gets caught ball watching occasionally, spends a tad too much time watching himself on the big screens, but no more so than any developing KPF.
Amazing how this has worked out 3 years on, started off with heavy opposition for bringing the idea up
Now hes an early contender for an AA key defender position
Wouldnt have picked we would go through Dunn, now Roughhead as his partner for Reid
