Good hands. Seems to be getting a bit of the ball in the VFL, could get elevated at the end of the year, seems to be doing everything right atm. Good luck to him.

To be fair I think the list of KPPs who played as forwards underage who end up as defenders in the AFL is a long one, not just at Richmond.btoz_01 said:
I am not the one to produce that list but I recall even someone like Rutten who was seen a dour defender was a forward underage. It's not unusual
Saturday's vision looks like his kicking technique is now more smoother .....Can't remember having 2 players on the rookie list as exciting as Moore an CholTony Braxton-Hicks said:

Dont forget George & Shorty are technically still rookies also, add Soldo & Marcon & its a very good rookie list

No, this is spot on. Would be a first round pick if he had a decent kick on him. Not so sure how they intend to fix his ball drop but if this is manageable then we have a very good player on our hands.
Just watched the highlights , what's wrong with his,kicking , I could have been fooled it was John butcher , Levi's casboult I must have missed something

Fair to say that his form right now after spending 6 months as a FT footballer is more relevant , is a better looking kick than Nick riewoldt

Not suggesting it can't be fixed, but it will be a great test case for the coaching department. If you remember Benny Gale's first season or two you will recall some horrible shanks, particularly in front of goal. Fortunately Gale became a much more reliable kick as the years went on. Moore is a former rugby player so I know where the technique is coming from, it now comes a question of working his backside off to iron out the unpredictability. The rewards will be significant if he's able to do this.
Apart from a few clips I haven't seen him play at all so what sort of player is he bullus ?bullus_hit said:
The VFL highlights on the website do suggest his kicking technique has been modified.bullus_hit said:
Looks like an upgrade on Lennon :nopity

He's a very strong mark with some outstanding qualities at ground level, as a KP player he will run and carry with pace and athleticism, he ran a 2.91sec/20m at the combine which is elite for his size. For a direct comparison I think there's a bit of Michael Pickering about the way he goes about it, a blast from the past but for a wiry player he's not afraid to throw himself into a pack situation. He also has an extra 6cm on Pickering so could quite feasibly nail down a key position. I think this is a very sound rookie selection, I probably wouldn't have taken him given I was dead keen on Chol at 12 and wasn't willing to take any risks with him being unavailable at our second rookie pick. In the end the strategy paid off and we secured a couple of excellent prospects.
Only seen him once but I liked what I saw as a defender. If he can also go forward and kick bags, he will be invaluable

As a fan who attends games, have you ever been consulted by anyone running the AFL for your view on the state of the game?
