No one is asking Moir to dominate before getting a call up.
Carlton, more than any other team in the competition, relies on front half pressure and locking the ball in inside 50. The difference between our best and worst is how easily teams are able to win the ball back and transition from our long bombs inside 50.
The Tigers took countless intercept marks and rebounded with ease. Harry was non existent. While Curnow had zero offensive impact, he managed to bring the ball to ground most times, and our pressure was good enough to contest and stop the Hawks from rebounding.
Not sure why we play the way we do, but we've been doing it long enough that I have to believe it's intentional. My best guess is the coaches have no faith in our small forwards, so we aim to either win a contested mark or get a stoppage, getting our mids involved and allowing us to set up defensively.
Regardless, for this system to work, it requires ferocious forward half pressure. Teams at AFL level are far too good at finding the loose man and rebounding. If Moir is unable or unwilling to pressure, he'll be detrimental to our style of play and won't be picked.
