I think Peter Moore regrets leaving Collingwood when he did.
The club was in turmoil at the time, and Melbourne offered him big bucks.
I'm sure his advice to Darcy would be to stay a one club player.
He’s said publicly that he regrets it. There’s a reason Darcy grew up a pies supporter and not a Melbourne supporter, and it’s not because Melbourne were shit.
 
A lot of kids aren't that interested in their dad's opinion - the little ****ers. Darcy won't leave now, but supposedly nearly did earlier in his career.

That’s true, but I feel like often they can learn from your mistakes. Grave, heinous mistakes.
 
With the benefit of hindsight looking back? Of course.

But not at the time - we have short memories.

Ginnivan - his 2022 season came within a goal of winning the Coventry medal as a small forward, in a forward line that had been struggling for years. In only his 10th game of AFL footy he kicked 5 goals to win the ANZAC medal and (even more importantly) put Kane Cornes back in his box. Back then it was unimaginable that he would leave.

Stephenson - We paid a hefty price for him - pick 6 in the ND. (Only Pendles and Degoey in our team at the time had been higher). But he delivered - he was the most emphatic rising star winner ever at the time and kicked 38 goals in his debut season, giving the Coventry medal a real shake. He signed a long term deal and it was unimaginable he would ever leave. He could do no wrong …

… until he did. He never recovered from his betting scandal, and after reaching lofty heights he’s been on a downward spiral ever since.
Absolutely at the time.

For sure. He seems like the kind of person that would value team success over that of the individual every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I mean “Hey Nick, would you rather win a Brownlow, or have you and your brother share in another Premiership?”

Rhetorical question, SURELY.

Hes very much like Pendles. Not fussed about individual stuff, just wants to win flags. Pendles has said before "You don't have reunions for your Brownlow or AFLPA MVP awards etc"

Here’s a list of players who were at one stage considered to be “One club players”, and it was totally unimaginable that they would leave …

… and then they left. And we moved on.

  • Brodie Grundy - us wanting to offload an AA ruckman, are we nuts?
  • Jack Ginnivan - Premiership player, loves playing for Collingwood.
  • Dayne Beams - Premiership player and Copeland winner
  • Daisy - Premiership player
  • Jayden Stephenson - First player to win a Rising Star playing for Collingwood.
  • Travis Cloke - F/S, Premiership player, Collingwood royalty.
  • Sav Rocca - ROCCAAAA!!!
  • Peter Moore - Collingwood Brownlow medalist
