Towelly losing his boyish looks and looking like a man.
Hopefully he takes another step forward this year

Darcy Moore's defensive stats are actually pretty solid. He's just not the guy that's designed to play on the monster key forwards. Very good at impacting contests zoning off his man when he's at his best.

Clearly it helped last year having Pink/Teakle playing forward alongside Larkey to provide a bit more structure. I think it would be silly not try Chom and Darling alongside Larkey, gives us a different dynamic of forward targets. Hopefully would make us a bit less Larkey focussed and open up some easier avenues to goal.

In the end if it's not working out can easily swing him back into defence and try to further develop there.

Moore's 1 on 1 stats are actually a lot better than I thought!
But the Pies always prefer to play him on the lesser forwards, so he can come across. Very good at what he does, but losing Murphy definitely hurt them and him down back.

In an ideal world Chom is a taller Adam Hunter, who can be thrown anywhere depending on the opponent and game situation.
I get what your saying that he would give us a different look up forward. But if we lock Chom, Griff and Corr together for next year. Then have young Will replace Corr for 2026, we have the building blocks of a strong defensive group. Add Jacko, then hopefully Hardeman, Bergman and Goater come on.

It breaks my heart a little bit that on a North Melbourne forum, Adam Hunter is cited as the ultimate swingman. Perhaps you're too young to have seen Rossco.

Yes he retired 4 years before I was born unfortunately.
A Brownlow at CHB and averaged better than a goal a game, serious CV.

Comben can actually improve his defensive work.....he hasn't played that many games down back....

Imagine Roscoe in today's game? Where would he play?

Sicily reminds me of Roscoe, although Roscoe was more dashing when he played at CHB. Had No. 4 on the back on the jumper and was devastated when he went to the Eagles.
