Player Watch Darcy Moore

[Finnishpie]

Wouldn’t trust Pickering as far as you could throw him would you?

Can’t trust anyone in this business

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Straight up and down that one! The only indicator I got from it is that Lynch is still in play because once we’re out of that race the offer to Darcy will change, IMO.

Or maybe we ARE out of the race for Lynch and thats why we can afford Moore.

Who knows, so many scenarios.

Hopefully we have both on our list next season.

Generally f Pickering publicly states his player wants to stay at their club he makes it happen.

I take it that Moore has been holding out for more money but now due to his injuries has dropped his price to something more realistic.

Go Pies!!!!!

Why wouldn’t he have signed the contract in front of him if that’s true?

Not sure your point.

I was speculating that he had been holding out for more money, but being unable to get on the park to prove his perception of his value, is now close to signing for something closer to Collingwoods offer.

That’s my gut feel in it too.
We may have put a moderate contract to him based on output and he’s said I’ll show you - unfortunately he hasn’t been able to so far.

I took your post to mean there was some indicator that he now felt his value had dropped. While that could be true, I just hadn’t read the tea leaves in that way.

 

[Temploar]

He's only what? 22

His body shouldn't be breaking down like this all the time.

He is either made of glass or isn't treating it properly.

Could just be our club ****ing up again with injury management.

But no way you give him more than 400k on exposed form.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Yes thats my implication. I am speculating that he believes hes no going to get the money he was originally holding out for, because he hasnt been able to argue his case on the field.............which is the only place to prove your worth. So maybe the gap between his offer and Collingwoods bid has closed somewhat.

Its one of many possible senarios.

 

[Temploar]

Actually I'm a flog regardless of whether he goes or stays
I don't like him to be honest.
Think he is a show pony.
I love guys like Adams who bleed for the club.
Moore may one day become 10 times the player Adams is but I will still prefer an Adams to a Moore.

And to add to that, Adams is one of the most down to earth blokes you'll ever meet.

Met him at the Copeland last year.
PS: He loves a beer.

Not sure what it going on with Darce, however, right now he seems like a preoccupied lad that isn't necessarily enjoying his footy.

It could be as simple as injury frustration..... or something else.

If we lose him and fail to get McGovern (my preferred option) or Lynch, and miss out on a top 10 pick this year, we're more f****d than people are wiling to admit.

Time will tell.

We will land/keep somebody. But even iif we lose Moore and DONT land Lynch or another big name , writing us off is ridiculous. We can just find another Cox/Mihocek/Dunn/Stephenson/Hoskin Elliot/Scharenberg!!!

Dont forget we still have McLarty in the system and Quanynor and Kelly both lined up for next years draft. So we should have better depth than this year.

We haven't really had Moore this your and definitely haven't had Lynch or McGovern, yet we appear to be a fair way from f****d. Even with a plethora of injuries. One of those 3 would be a great addition, but not a necessity.

Elliott would be handy too!!

 

[sr36]

Elliott would be handy too!!

This is the order that I'd rank our injuries in terms of most handy to have fully fit.

1. Treloar
2. Dunn
3. Elliott
4. Wells
5. Moore

I was referring to Elliot as he is a forward as are (or can be) the three players you named. No intention to rank him first....quite clearly Treloar is our big name missing.

That doesn’t make sense in regards to Buckley’s comments on both Lynch and Moore and mine, IMO.

Three pretty solid observations can be made:
1. We’ve always been able to afford Moore.
2. The same contract offer has been in front of him all year.
3. We’ve been in on Lynch for god knows how long.

If it falls over with Lynch or Moore’s body holds up the contract in front of Moore will change. Neither has happened so the contract remains unchanged.

We've always been able to afford Moore based on the offer thats on the table. If he accepts that then presumably we can afford Lynch (depending on what other clubs throw at him). But maybe we havent been able to afford what he wants and still have room for Lynch.

But if Lynch drops out maybe we can afford to pay more to Moore, ie what hes asking for not what we are currently offering.

Which is pretty much what I said. Just one of many scenarios.

My preferred scenario is that Moore drops down to Collingwoods offered salary level (based on his hammys not being reliable) and that leaves us room to land Lynch as well.....via free agency of course.

No you pondered that we may be out of the race for Lynch already (highlight unlikely as it is) which you now seem to agree above doesn’t appear to be the case

I mean I’m not actually disagreeing with you more stating that the thread of your posts isn’t making much sense!

Oh God semantics wars again.

If Lynch is looking like hes out of the race (not to say he is....theoretical...hence the use of the word maybe in my original post....) then the odds of keeping Moore might improve (more wriggle room to keep him happy financially) Its really not that hard to surmise that as a possibility.

 

[Darkyprotector]

Rubbish, one bad year though injury does not make him overrated

Has he ever finished top 10 in the COPELAND
NO

Pysho sematic

Rekin the Kids been advised not to play

Lets do a whip around for the uber to the airport

Take his dad too

Just have to disagree on this, the young man got talent, we need to keep him as l think he will come good. We need to keep our high end talent and replace the lower end with better players not the other way round

 

[Darkyprotector]

Bucks confirmed on Footy Classified tonight that a deal for Moore has been on the table since late 2017, said Moore’s been holding off trying to string some footy together.... take from that what you will.

He also mentioned the guy had nothing wrong after scans and appeared to me to be saying the kid don't wanta play

Hence don't play against brown don't get touched up

He's protecting his brand

It's obvious

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Id prefer that we don’t snipe at Moore and his character.

Seems like a nice fellow.

He has the full right with his manager to seek a fair deal.

I have zero angst about such things, it’s par for the course.

As he’s a potential (that word) key position player of excellence he does carry a right for a higher price tag.
Good luck to him.

I’m sure we’ll do a good deal and he’ll be terrific for us.

You havnt gone all journalist on us have you?

Darky, Darcy will be fine.
Patience grasshopper patience.
