Yes - although it's to be noted that the Moores already have as many Brownlows between them as the Abletts - and have also played 1 more Grand Final.
And lets hope that by the end of Darcy's career he has at least twice as many premiership medallions as the Abletts!!

Darcy Moore to play the 2014 season in the TAC Cup, not for the Collingwood VFL side, as people had been suggesting/hoping:

So Moore has finished school yet not old enough to be drafted.

Doesn't happen that often does it?

This suggests we will wait and see how things play out.
Next year's draft is viewed as rich in talent, particularly in the key-position area.
Now that other clubs can put in bids to force us to use a higher pick, I'd suggest we will want to see him play a season of TAC and see how he compares so we can determine how high a draft pick is appropriate to use. Basically, learn at what point we say No.

In regard to finishing school young, it's not that uncommon, some kids get bumped up a year early if they're doing real well.

Still can play VFL but It be in the 2nd Half of the VFL Season.

I say with 2 seasons with Injuries that we don't want to Risk Him.

It's going to be so good to finish top 4 this year and still get a top 5 draft pick :D.

A pity the F&S isn't as generous as when Geelong were rorting the system with Ablett and Scarlett and we were with the Clokes and Shaws.
Well done boys!

All these other FS prospects takes some pressure of us in terms of using our first round pick for Moore, especially if they are equally considered high draft options.

Jeez, I'd love to see another Weidemann don the black and white. I grew up as a kid hearing about how the Weed (and Hooker Harrison) single-handedly took on the Dees in 1958, delivering us one of the greatest Grand final victories ever. I was also at Victoria Park, the day his son played his first game for us. He never lived up to the unrealistic expectations of Pies supporters, but nevertheless, he played some good football for us before moving back to Adelaide. The name Weidemann is as Collingwood as Coventry, Richards, Rose or Daicos.

Did Mark Weidemann play over 100 games for the 'pies? Otherwise his son will not qualify for F/S.

Only 28.

But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be good to have another Weiderman running around in a pies jumper.

Moore only played 75ish games for Melbourne. My Dees supporting mates are already crying that they will be denied a shot at him :lol:
