Stuff it... Let's pin all our hopes on this kid as of right now (for me... some of you guys have been for a bit already!)
Moore is our Mockingjay.


I am going to convince myself that he will play every game next year and will kick 40 goals first season. Scharenberg will win the Copeland, Pendles will win the brownlow.

Just shut up and accept my logic.

Poor kid is on a hiding-to-nothing.

We are just so inept in our talls department, he'll be expected to come in and make an immediate impact
I remember when Josh Fraser was the number 1 pick.
He never had a chance. Pressure was always there because of the hype. Same thing is happening here.
He would want to perform next season we way we are going now.

yeah the guy isn't even officially at the club and there is a thread here that is currently 74 pages. I am worried what the effect of all this expectation will have on him. From what I see at the moment expectations are already too high. I hope the club is patient with him and lets him develop in good time

Not this hombre.
Will take him a few years like every other skinny tall to impact games consistantly and also bulk up his Seedsmans (arms) in the gym.

All you can expect is the odd glimpse into what we hope he will become in 3, 4 or 5 years time.

I hope we also draft a 2nd KPF to also develop next to him as its not good having the cupboard so bare.

Every number 1 pick has that pressure.

The issue with Fraser was he needed a bash and crash type to off set him as he was ideally suited to a forward come ruck role more so then ruck who goes fwd role that he played.
He also never smashed himself in the gym to gain the required bulk and strength needed for rucking.

Do we really give up first rounder for him? for those out there who seen a fair bit of him, is he round 1 pick??? I really like the look of Petracca big / tall fast reminds me of a Dangerfield... I know we wont get him but if available for our pick who do you go for??

I have stated many times that im not convinced about Moore. He is still skinny and looks slow around the ground for me.

However im now on the wagon.....not because he has done anything to change my mind.....we are just desperate for someone who can take a mark and kick straight - and im pinning my hopes on him. He still needs to put on 15-20kgs to be a monster 199cm forward so lets hope he hits the peptides soon!
