The loss leaves the reigning premiers on the brink of missing the finals in 2024, which would see them join Geelong (2023), Richmond (2021), Western Bulldogs (2017) and Hawthorn (2009) as premiers in the last 20 years to miss finals the following season.
Here’s some vision of Moore, his timing is completely off,” Cornes said on the AFL’s Round so Far.
“Leaves (Shannon) Neale there and gets himself in no man’s land. This is the behind the goals vision (and) we are showing how many times Darcy Moore makes the incorrect decision or when he goes and he doesn’t impact.Here’s some vision of Moore, his timing is completely off,” Cornes said on the AFL’s Round so Far.
The flow on effect from that is they end up with a free inside forward 50 and if you’re watching from the broadcast at home on TV you’re going ‘how did that Geelong player end up inside 50 all alone?’.
“It’s because Darcy Moore, the captain of Collingwood, wants to be free and doesn’t want to play on anyone. And when he is free his timing is all off.
“He’s had a really poor year, I’ve been strong on that, they need more from him and if he can’t put his hand up to play on the best opposition forward and you’re forcing poor old Isaac Quaynor to give away 15cm in doing it, then what are you there for?
You may as well go forward. Collingwood have got forward line struggles everywhere, he’s gone forward before.
“If he doesn’t want to defend, if he keeps getting lost and becomes a liability for his side and makes them far too easy to score against, then go forward or you might have to get out of the side.
“That’s how bad his form has been and that vision just highlights that.”
