I take back my previous comment that he may be a 2nd round pick. Funny how recent match reports haven't been to inspiring yet the media keep building him up to be a potential superstar.
Let's hope they are right.
I guess you are aware that he has reportedly had a few injury issues early this season that may have affected his performances.
I am but maybe hadn't considered the impact.
I couldn't be happier if he turns out to be a superstar CHF for us and matures alongside Cloke, Reid, Grundy & Scharenberg.
I really have no idea how good Moore is. But I'll go on the comments of experts more than the analysis of individual games. Especially with talls, output at under 18 level is only a guide. Recruiters need to be able to see what a player will become, not what they are now. A teenager who's physically ready and playing an easily defined role may shine at junior level, but may not have what it takes to make it in the AFL, and vice versa.
With Moore playing all over the place: defense, ruck, forward, midfield, it won't be easy for him to always play at the top of his game (look at Dawes, Lynch or anyone else who's asked to play multiple roles; it's hard), but if he has the right attributes, and the experts seem to thing he has, a lack of kicks, handballs and goals in individual games won't matter too much.
Paige said he was influential, Timmy from Thomastown (Bigpoofy) said he hardly touched it.
It would be very hard to play at that level without stringing a few games together, hopefully he's over his niggles etc now and can stay on the park for the remainder of the season, if he can we'll be able to value his worth accordingly.

He obviously had a pretty average game but let's see how he goes in the coming weeks.
The thing is with Moore is that you can bet that unless we go tumbling out of the top eight by seasons end then he is going to cost us a first round selection as teams wont allow us anything different.
Best that he impresses in this carnival so we can consider him a bargain selection at our pick or at worse worthy of it.

Well with out recent history on Passing Father-Sons prospects, teams would make sure we use a 1st Round Pick on him IF we nominate him

If Hine rates the top 20 or so higher than Moore he won't use our first rounder on him.
