AFL talent manager Kevin Sheehan said it would be 'more than a minor shock' if Collingwood didn't part ways with their first-round pick to capture promising father-son prospect Darcy Moore.

Sheehan expected more than one club to bid for Moore, son of Collingwood star Peter Moore, when the father-son bidding nominations take place on Friday.
Speaking to radio station SEN on Tuesday morning, Sheehan said Moore had all the attributes of a key position player that would make him a very attractive target for rival clubs.
"You'd have to be impressed by what you see," Sheehan said of Moore.
"He captained the Oakleigh Chargers that won the (2014) TAC Cup Grand Final and played at centre-half forward – the toughest place out on the ground.
"You can't find guys of that size, that athleticism (and have) the clean hands, the lovely kick.
"He can play both ends of the ground, he's a fine young leader, I think he's got all the attributes to be a star down the track."
Collingwood currently has pick eight in the 2014 AFL Draft which means Moore will almost certainly be the Magpies' third top-10 pick in 12 months following on from the recruiting of Matthew Scharenberg and Nathan Freeman last year.
Luke McDonald (North Melbourne), Joe Daniher (Essendon), Tom Mitchell (Sydney) and Ayce Cordy (Bulldogs) are the only other father-son recruits to be taken in the first round since the bidding system was introduced in 2007.
