‘Blood will be flowing’: McGuire fumes as Richmond target Pies defender

The Tigers are targeting out-of-contract Collingwood defender Darcy Moore to replace the retired Alex Rance and Eddie McGuire isn’t happy about it.
7NEWS AFL reporter Tom Browne reported Richmond’s interest on Tuesday morning, saying 24-year-old Moore is the Tigers’ top target following the unexpected retirement of five-time All-Australian Rance.
“Richmond’s main target to replace Alex Rance is out of contract Pies star defender Darcy Moore,” Browne wrote on Twitter.
“There are good ongoing discussions at Collingwood. Where Moore is still likely to stay.
“My understanding is the Tigers have or will make a substantial indicative offer as part of negotiations.”
Browne later disclosed that the Tigers could offer Moore “around $750-$800k” per season due to Rance’s retirement, which freed up $1.4 million in the club’s salary cap for the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
While the potential move was music to the ears of Richmond fans, their Collingwood counterparts weren’t so happy about it.
Collingwood president Eddie McGuire took the news particularly poorly as Tom Browne discussed the potential move on Triple M.
“Darcy’s out of contract, my understanding is Richmond is keen on Darcy Moore, (Tigers coach) Damien Hardwick is very keen to coach him,” Browne said on Triple M.
“You can’t say that a club has made an offer at this time of the year, but I think he’s the man that Richmond have earmarked to take over from Alex Rance long-term as their key defender if they can get their hands on him.”
McGuire sounded rattled by the news.
“That’d go down well,” Eddie McGuire said sarcastically.
“Blood will be flowing down Punt Road & Hoddle Street again.”
However McGuire may not have too much to worry about in the end, with Browne declaring the star Pies defender is happy at the club and likely to re-sign.
“He’s very happy at Collingwood, I’m sure there’s a high likelihood he’ll re-sign at Collingwood,” Browne said.
Moore’s manager weighs in
Darcy Moore’s manager Liam Pickering has told SEN that Collingwood “had a bit of work to do” to keep the defender at the club.
“We caught up again the other week, but we’ve still got a bit of work do,” Pickering said.
“We’re negotiating, which means it’s no way near over the line.”
Pickering was also asked if he’d spoken to Richmond about Moore moving to Punt Road.
“No, I haven’t,” he replied.

‘Blood will be flowing’: Eddie McGuire’s warning to Tigers over Collingwood star

Richmond is reportedly set to offer Collingwood’s Darcy Moore an attractive deal to join the club, as the reigning premiers eye a long term replacement for retired defender Alex Rance.
Tom Browne reported on Tuesday morning that despite Moore – who’s out of contract at the end of this season – and the Magpies holding “good ongoing discussions” the Tigers were preparing to pounce on the 24-year-old.
Moore’s manager Liam Pickering weighed into the situation, telling SEN Collingwood “still had a bit of work to do” to ensure Moore remained at the Holden Centre.
“We caught up again the other week, but we’ve still got a bit of work do,” Pickering said.
“We’re negotiating, which means it’s no way near over the line.”
Moore’s Richmond link was put to Pies president Eddie McGuire on Tuesday morning.
With tongue firmly in cheek, McGuire told Triple M’s Hot Breakfast: “That'd go down well. When his father (Peter Moore) went to Melbourne, that went down a treat. ‘Darce’ going to Richmond – that’d be just really good, wouldn't it?
“The last time they started poaching from Collingwood, we put them in the bin for 30 years.”
When co-host Luke Darcy suggested McGuire hadn’t taken Browne’s report well, McGuire said: “Wait if it ever comes true — don't worry about that. The blood will be flowing down Punt Road and Hoddle St again, mate.”
Rance – a five-time All-Australian – abruptly retired at the end of last year.
While the Tigers have kept him on their list in case he backflips on his decision, the club also reached a settlement with Rance, freeing up $1.4 million in their salary cap for 2020 and 20201.
Moore, who has shone since being shifted into defence, shapes as an ideal replacement for Rance.
But when asked if he’d spoken to Richmond about Moore’s potential move to Punt Road, Pickering replied: “No, I haven’t.”
Collingwood has delicately negotiated contracts with a host of its stars, with Brodie Grundy signing a seven-year deal, while skipper Scott Pendlebury took a pay cut when he inked a one-year extension.
Moore and Jordan De Goey both remain out of contract.

Overrated and more injury prone than Ben Griffiths a failed forward who's put together, what, half a season of good footy down back? Reminds me of all the hype around Liam "Next Rance" Jones - though he's probably better than Jones... hopefully just a smokescreen for De Goey but more likely just that flog Tom Browne automatically assuming we're going to use the Rance money to chase another KPD and working back from there... :shh

I do not read, watch of follow anything fro Tom Browne. He's an outright liar.

Good player if he's on the park.
Other rumour on BF is that we're sweet talking Harris Andrews.
Moore risky, soft tissue problems at his age...
Would prefer JDG and pump some development time into Balta, Biggie etc as KPD. Or even Miller.

Harris Andrews would be a good get.

If Collingwood cannot get salary cap relief from the AFL for Beams’s extraordinary circumstances — and why wouldn’t it ask — it will be on the hook for whatever it eventually settles for with Beams.

Hardwick quashes Darcy Moore link
By Nic Negrepontis
SEN
19 Feb 2020
Channel Seven’s Tom Browne linked out of contract Collingwood defender Darcy Moore to Richmond on Tuesday morning, a player who could fill the Rance void.
However, Hardwick said that there is nothing to the link.
“It popped up by surprise, I got a text on my family WhatsApp about what’s going on with Darcy Moore and I said, ‘what are you talking about?’” he said.
“This time of year, things get thrown around and clubs get linked and it’s a bit of a slow news week, so nothing in that one at this stage.
“There’s a lot of nice replacements (for Rance) out there, it would also be nice to have Alex back to be perfectly honest.
“We’ve got some terrific young talent that is coming through. We’re really excited by Noah Balta who has got a little way to go, Ryan Garthwaite as well. We’ve got some replacements that will come through and help us long-term.”

Darcy Moore unfazed by contract speculation
By Nic Negrepontis
SEN
24 Feb 2020
Collingwood defender Darcy Moore has spoken regarding his contract status and says he is unfazed by the ongoing speculation.
Moore was linked with a move to Richmond last week as the Tigers look for their successor to Alex Rance.
However, the out of contract star believes the deal will work itself out one way or another.
“I’m obviously used to it that sort of commentary, I’ve just had to get used to it over my career and it is something that doesn’t both me at all, but a lot has been made of the club having a lot to work with over this pre-season and I’m not in a rush at all and I’m sure it’ll take care of itself,” he told reporters on Sunday.
Moore has been named in the Victorian team for the Bushfire Relief game, coached by Richmond’s Damien Hardwick, and says he is excited to learn from the two-time premiership leader.
“He’s obviously a highly respected coach in the industry and his results speak for themselves so I’m really excited to work with him and learn more about he goes about it and the same goes with my other teammates,” he said.
Hardwick played a straight bat when asked about the Moore speculation last week on SEN Breakfast on Wednesday, saying he didn’t know anything about it.
“It popped up by surprise, I got a text on my family WhatsApp about what’s going on with Darcy Moore and I said, ‘what are you talking about?’” Hardwick said.
“This time of year, things get thrown around and clubs get linked and it’s a bit of a slow news week, so nothing in that one at this stage.”

Darcy Moore reveals how he learnt about Tigers link
Zerohanger
27 Feb 2020
Out-of-contract Collingwood star Darcy Moore was linked to a move to Richmond earlier this month.
And the 24-year old has revealed he learnt the news through a homeless man on the street.
Moore is unfazed by the outside noise, recalling the moment he walked down Smith Street hearing the man call out to him.
“It doesn’t really affect me much on a personal level (the speculation) other than you start walking down the street and you get people telling you not to leave,” the Pies defender told SEN’s Bob and Andy.
“That was actually how I found out about it (Richmond rumours); I was walking down Smith Street … there’s a bloke there who sleeps rough on Smith Street and he actually yelled out to me, ‘Don’t go and bloody play for Richmond!’ and I was like, ‘Oh god’.
“And then I’ve got to go pull out my phone and google myself and work out what the hell he is talking about.
“It happens basically every time I come out of contract. I get spotted in a different suburb and then all of a sudden I’m getting traded. It’s something that I’m used to.”
Despite not being in a rush to put pen to paper, Moore is happy with where negotiations are at with Collingwood.
“I’m someone that likes to be involved (in contract negotiations),” he said.
“Obviously, these decisions require a lot of thought and you have to consider a lot of different areas of your life and your career.
“In this particular situation, the club has had a lot to work through this pre-season. I’m pretty open about it and not really in a hurry and from all reports the process is going really smoothly with the club.
“I’m sure it will happen in no time.”

Richmond premiership star’s unique pitch to poach out-of-contract Magpie
March 2, 2020 12:49pm
Josh Gabelich
FOX SPORTS
Darcy Moore was coached by Damien Hardwick on Friday night and played alongside Richmond premiership stars Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Tom Lynch and Bachar Houli in a sign of what life could look like in 2021 and beyond.
The Collingwood star is out of contract at the end of October and was linked to a move down Olympic Boulevard and up Punt Road last month.
With Alex Rance shocking the football world by retiring in December, the Tigers are in the market for a key defender and could look to Moore.
The 24-year-old revealed Houli used Friday night’s State of Origin game as an opportunity to pitch the club. Although the All-Australian half-back lobbied a unique benefit of playing in the yellow and black.
“Bachar was telling me about the Lebanese barbecues that he hosts,” Moore told foxsports.com.au after Friday night’s State of Origin game.
“I asked him, ‘How do I get an invite? He said: ‘You’ve got to come play for us’.”
Contract speculation is nothing new for the son of two-time Brownlow Medal winner, Peter Moore.
He was linked to Sydney throughout an injury-interrupted 2018 before signing a two-year extension at the end of that season. That deal is nearly up, but he won’t rush to sign his next contract.
“Look it’s something I’ve been through before in the past three or four years. It is nothing new to me. As a person it really tests your focus and your concentration,” he said.
“But once you get amongst the boys and the team we’ve got at the Pies is so tight knit that we don’t focus on individuals so you really do sink back into the crowd.
“When you leave the four walls of the club there is a little bit more attention, but it is really like water off a duck's back for me at this point; it is what you pay managers for – to take care of it. It is pretty easy to deal with to be honest.”
Moore escapes the pressure of contract decisions and stopping key forwards by throwing himself into his studies at Melbourne University, by reading and by spending times with friends outside who don’t play for the black and white.

Moore is already comfortably using the same terms as we do at Richmond.
Tight knit
Four walls

Maxing his contact by using the arch enemies, can't wait for Carlton's offer

As an alternative to Moore in our backline, Nick Haynes would fit well in our system as a good intercept mark and kick although he turns 28 this year.
With $1.4m up our sleeve now, can we chase two players - one defender & one ballwinning mid? Get Tom Green as well ;D.

Haynes would be worth more than Moore. He's a gun.

The young kid he plays with Sam Taylor seems like an even better option. Had a ripper finals series.

Yep, keeping hearing the same.
I wonder if the $1,400,000 would be enough to secure Sam Taylor + Tom Green?
We would have to trade some serious picks + quality depth players.

Just get Rance back

Colliwobbles may not be as desperate to keep Moore as Fathead's publicly making out... doesn't necessarily mean he'll end up at Richmond though...:shh
B.Crouch still a target and is now a restricted free agent.. :shh :shh
SPP also still on the radar..among other factors will depend on how he, Port & Hinkley all go this year.... good mates with Stack.. :shh :shh :shh
Tom Green is at least 2 years away from coming home, more likely 4 but take it to the bank - he will be a Tiger eventually... :shh :shh :shh :shh

MOORE SIGNATURE A WAY OFF
Collingwood defender Darcy Moore admits the prospect of a long-term deal may no longer be feasible given the financial fallout of the coronavirus crisis.
Obviously every player wants security, it’s sort of a bit of a luxury in this business so I’d obviously love that,” he said on SEN Breakfast.
“But in this current climate I don’t really know what it’s going to look like going forward and there’s a lot of moving pieces in the industry to work it all out so I don’t even know if a long-term deal is gonna be feasible so I just gotta sort of wait and see where the cards fall and where that leads me.
“We’ve had a lot of Zoom meetings with very limited information the last probably three or four weeks but the last week or so it sort of seems like I’ve definitely got that impression that the wheels are starting to turn and it’s looking like because the numbers are falling that it’s looking like maybe there’s a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel but you know you don’t want to speak to soon and get your hopes up but hopefully it’s the case.”

Herald Sun and AFL Tonight reporter Jon Ralph has outlined the state of play on eight of the biggest players in the competition.
WHO COULD STAY:
Jordan De Goey and Darcy Moore (Collingwood)
“So much froth and bubble over a couple of high-profile pairs. Firstly, Collingwood with Jordan De Goey and Darcy Moore. And for all the links they have had with other football clubs, both of those players have publicly come out and said I would like to stay. Clearly the finances need to be right. A deal will eventually be done with Dayne Beams that they would them pay him out. Some of his salary cap obligations to him. They were able to get a deal done with Brodie Grundy and I think by the end of the year they will get a deal done with both of those, albeit some sacrifices elsewhere.”

Moore is the exact type of tall defender we have lacked.If not Moore then one of his type would be ideal.
Cox Brown Even the ex Adelaide gimp to name a few who have torn us a new one.
Moore is not only tall enough and big enough to deal with these types but hes really athletic and agile to go with it.
Tiger people love Dave Astbury but id still be looking for an upgrade on him and i would be looking hard for a Rance type replacement as well.
Hopefully one or Both of Balta and Nyuon make the grade but while they get there a player like Moore would be great.
If Noah Balta achieves his potential Moore Grimes and Balta would cover every single tall propisition clubs could throw at us.And they are all athletic agile quick enough to not slow us down.
