I'd also note that Wright (a potential top pick) was not named in the best. Performances are important, but it's not all these players will be judged on. Talls especially will be allowed quiet games. I'm not going to read too much into what I think of Moore's progress, just going to wait and see what happens.swoop42 wrote:LOL talk about looking for a silver lining DTM.
He obviously had a pretty average game but let's see how he goes in the coming weeks.
The thing is with Moore is that you can bet that unless we go tumbling out of the top eight by seasons end then he is going to cost us a first round selection as teams wont allow us anything different.
Best that he impresses in this carnival so we can consider him a bargain selection at our pick or at worse worthy of it.

Well done boys!
This is true but I get the feeling Hine rating him in the top 20 is almost a certainty.Defender wrote:If Hine rates the top 20 or so higher than Moore he won't use our first rounder on him.swoop42 wrote:LOL talk about looking for a silver lining DTM.

Personally I like the sound of him and given we are in need of a kp player are 99% certain we will select him.
It would only get interesting for me should we tumble outside the eight and be looking at another top 10 pick.
He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD!

^^Would be tough on our recruiters if that happened. They'd obviously want to judge the players solely on their ability, but that get's difficult if you have a top 10 pick. Can't be too much between several players, especially as this is meant to be a KPP heavy draft. Passing on Moore because we rate him at 11 and we have pick 9 would not be easy.
In that case, it's always possible no one will nominate him before our pick. Then we get an even bigger bargain by taking him in the second round.

Bold statement there. Have you seen him play or are you just talking out your arse? One things for certain, nobody was talking about Stewart as a top 5 prospect. Even if he's being overhyped a bit, it seems pretty certain that he will go in the first round. Not many plodders go that early.Beast wrote:Another plodder being talked up by the usual half-wit lemmings, will follow James Stewart's footsteps if we're lucky.
^^^ Once, I had the privilege of logging on to Nick's when Big T was on the way to his fabled achievement of sweeping General Discussion with the current comment on every thread on page 1. When I logged on this morning, it looked a little like Beast had been on that sort of quest during the wee hours, so it may just be the case that the content of the post was less significant to the author than the fact of the post.

However according to other club recruiters, Moore is mentioned as being a "lock in" to be selected F/S by Collingwood.
BTW, anyone know if this young Steve? Waddell is the son or even grandson of the Waddell who was in the middle of a huge fight for his sevices between Collingwood and Carlton in the early 80's??? From memory, Carlton won that fight.

I haven't seen him play so I am talking out of my arse as you put it but its pretty obvious to me he has stagnated and hasn't developed like we hoped he would in the last 2 years. He has a nice highlights package from his under 16s days and not much else. I also haven't seen posters whos opinion I rate on here or other sites rave about him.Stupied wrote:Bold statement there.

I was fairly intoxicated when I posted that and might end up looking foolish but the hype around him is nowhere near being justified.
And keep in mind there's distinct possibility recruiters from other clubs are talking him to force our hand at selecting him earlier than necessary when in reality he is a second round selection.
Joe Daniher dominated under 18's but right now looks like a fish out of water in the seniors, even though you can clearly see the talent, Moore does not dominate and in fact quite pften gets beaten on the day and hardly touches the pill, food for thought.
