Not sure if you are not agreeing with me being a simple man with simple needs but I can assure you I am.
I have very meagre expectations of kids in their debut games at senior level. It's a bonus when you get more than that.
In terms of his VFL performances leading up to his debut, Moore (R8 - Casey @ Casey) returned from his hammy injury, he along with Reid played limited game time, had 6 possessions but didn't trouble the scorer, didn't really impact the game (footnote, losing Moore and Reid for much of the 2nd half compounded other injuries and cost us the game as we were overrun in the last with nobody on the bench). Round 9 v the Bees @ Vic Park he had 4 possessions and didn't bother the scorer, Round 10 we had a Bye, Round 11 v BH Hawks he had 3 possessions and fortuitously kicked 3 goals 0 behinds. I was at all 3 of those games, he played as a KPF and he struggled to impact. I expect more than that. Thought Scharenberg and Marsh were a long way ahead of Moore in terms of deserving a senior game.
As I said, I thought he was lucky to retain his spot following his debut. Played 60-70% game time for 4 possessions in a game where White and Cloke were holding down the KPF spots. People talk about his effort and yes he ran a lot in that game but wasn't credited with 1 tackle. I understand the reasons for playing him beyond his debut but as I said at the time, he was lucky to get the debut (gifted some would say), and then lucky to retain his place.
