| Stop judging the kid on "that mark" . he's a nobody until he's proven himself in the afl. I would be happy for him to play out the year in vfl |

I've only seen him live twice in the VFL but I am sure he would be competitive in defence and will make it hard for any forward he minds. They are not going to get much room on him and he is just as good on the ground as in the air. The club picked him as an emergency last week so that is a very clear pointer to him that they consider him close. Selectors use the naming of emergencies and sometimes interchanges as markers as to how close a player is to being in the 22 or out of the 22.

After last week's prediction that Dwyer would be trade bait and that Karnezis would not be selected until he really earned it, I'm tempted to just shut up, but......Moore will play AFL footy this year. Hopefully it won't be until he's had a few months of VFL footy under his belt. Even if the next month sees us bashed from pillar to post, we need to let him develop and not throw him to the wolves. The boy will be a A Grade player; he has everything going for him except the hardened body.
Karnezis did OK but will probably get chopped this week. Dwyer was terrific and will get another run. Trouble is, Dwyer looks great against ordinary opposition; against the good teams he will struggle as he has done in the past. Credit to him though, he was terrific on Friday night.

It's called common sense Dave. You don't train a player as a defender, play him as a defender in the reserves, and then play him forward in the seniors with no preparation. It would be ridiculous. I have no doubt that Moore will eventually play forward, but it won't be until he starts training as a forward. |

Let's not do a jack watts on the kid. If he's got the potential to be a 200 game player for us, and very little chance of us being top 4 this year, I'm very happy for him to mature this year
That said, if the club thinks he's ready then I'm looking forward to seeing him.

Not that it hasn't been said enough, but if realisticly we plan on a flag in 2-3 years time, that brings Cloke to 30 - past his most effective days as the main man in attack. Unless we plan on relying on Elliott and Gault, or buying a key forward in the near future, Darcy NEEDS to learn to play forward right now. How many agile/extremely athletic 200cm forwards are there? |
There is a Reason but the Club has been very quiet about it though  |
He hasn't exactly had a great run with injury through his TAC career. He's only a skinny kid and I'd rather we take time and let him fill out his frame physically before throwing him into the AFL team.
Playing down back is easier on the body than playing forward, lets just leave him there for at least the first half of the season and take it from there. We want him round for a long time, serving a decent apprenticeship and getting the body right this season is laying the foundation. Lets not be impatient.

Agree with Moore. He has everything except the Body and bit more of a Engine

No need to rush the lad.
If he plays back at this stage, the opposition will isolate him one-out and try and exploit his ( relative) lack of strength.
If he plays forward, he is open to the brutality of hardened defenders who may belt crap out of him every time he leads for the ball.
No need to rush him- 12 months in the VFL to build up for 2016

| If he does play, he needs to play forward. If he plays back they will just drag him one out to the goal square and despite his obvious talent, he will be thrown around like a rag doll. The exception there is Daniher but even he has bulked up a bit over summer. Give him a run up forward and let him take the game on and show his natural flair. He will also chase hard and apply plenty of pressure so it's a win/win. |

Sorry to disappoint, but the lad will play senior footy this season, and possibly this week. |

Isaac Heeney is going alright so far, Langdon was a revelation last season.
If the club thinks Moore has done enough to debut then people should be excited not apprehensive.
No one is expecting him to come in and dominate, just contribute and if he has to go back to the VFL it wont be the end of the world.
