Player Watch Pick #38 (2024) - Christian Moraes

[Blinky Nyland]

Moraes has got an incredible engine and when he needs it great pace. He's elusive and makes space appear for himself and others when the heat is on. I think he's too important to rest at the moment. Unfortunately he still hasn't taken a shot at goal since his first game I think. Even when open and running straight at goal from 35 he attempted the team pass again. He's too unselfish at the moment or fears missing too much.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

He’s definitely unselfish and puts the team first.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I love this kid to bits but he needs to back himself at least once.

 

[PJ Power]

I love this kid to bits but he needs to back himself at least once.

Far too unselfish.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Needs to back himself and kick the goal.

His kicking action is still…yeah.

 

[It Just Is]

I would say panicky rather than unselfish - he releases the ball too quickly.

. Someone needs to tell him that it’s ok to be caught holding the ball.

 

[Chewy316]

Won't be surprised if he plays at least 150 games for the club. Just a real two-way gut runner.

If only the other mids were capable of doing that.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I’m so happy he kicked that goal! That’ll do a lot for his confidence and hopefully he’ll go for goal more often now.

 

[JimmyBC]

I like him he looks a bit like Tom Cruise.

 

[GremioPower]

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!
“MOOOORAAAAAEEEESSSS!!!
“The Brazilian scores for Port Adelaide.
“It’s a GOLAÇO!!”

 

[Peninsula Boy]

He did the right thing and nailed the goal.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Loves this guys gut running.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Didn't really care whether we won or lost last night but seeing this teenager take on the clutch shot and nail it was the one thing that brought a smile to my face. Well done son.

Yep. Was also happy for Jackson converting his opportunity.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Really smart play too, as soon as the intercept was on he bolted into the open space and Drew found him. Just a matter steadying and taking the kick, really well done.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

You've got to give him full minutes so he can run a game out like Forrest Gump.

Hopefully that goal gives him the confidence to start taking a bit more on, on the field.

 

[Port 2004]

Didn't really care whether we won or lost last night but seeing this teenager take on the clutch shot and nail it was the one thing that brought a smile to my face. Well done son.

And what about his passion. He seems to really care.

 

[GremioPower]

And what about his passion. He seems to really care.

It’s the Brazilian blood.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

This season is obviously cooked.
Need to be getting games into him, Jackson, Viz and Lorenz

That goal was pure youthful exuberance

 

[Donuts_]

Pleased to see him back himself this time and shoot for goal. Well deserved.

against the kangas in 2012 vibes with that goal

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

And what about his passion. He seems to really care.

The reason I’m glad this is Hinkley’s last year is because now this kid of all people can’t get Hinkley’d, otherwise he would have been another Wingard, Howard, Duursma etc.

 

[Chad WinGOAT]

Was so happy for him that he had the confidence to take the game on and kick his first goal when he has had confidence issues with shooting in the past. Was probably the loudest I had cheered all night when he kicked it.

 

[RossFC]

Really surprised that he was subbed on extremely late, playing only 11 minutes, and then wasn't used in the SANFL game the next day.
