CAREER HISTORY
Young Western Australian Matthew Moody finally stepped off the emergencies list in 2005, displaying potential for the future at both ends of the ground.
Moody had been named as an emergency six times in 2004, coming within seconds of making his debut against Geelong in Round 13 when Brad Scott appeared to injure himself during the pre-game warmup.
But his opportunity never arrived and he must have wondered whether history would repeat itself when listed among the emergencies for the Round 6 showdown with Essendon in 2005. Fortunately, his luck was in this time, with Daniel Bradshaw a late withdrawal due to a back-related cal complaint
As it was Moody chose a pretty handy time to play his first senior game for the Brisbane Lions. While the Lions started the season in uncharacteristically slow fashion with a 1-4 record, Moody’s first experience in the three-time premiers’ 22 came in a 48-point win over the Bombers at Docklands – a victory that snapped a four-game losing streak.
Moody finished with seven kicks, five handballs and nine marks in a most promising display, doing enough to retain his spot for the next week’s home clash with the Western Bulldogs. He subsequently had 10 possessions and two goals in the loss to the Bulldogs, before contributing another 10 touches the following week in a win over Adelaide.
The 20-year-old was squeezed out of the senior side for Round 9 but continued to work hard in the reserves and was rewarded with call-ups for Round 10 and then Rounds 21 and 22. His form for the Suncoast Lions was strong all season and he successfully made the transition from elusive goalsneak to creative defender, at one stage curtailing Southport's dangerous full-forward Ben McEntee.
Moody inherited the No. 10 jumper worn by Marcus Ashcroft and - oddly for a kid from WA - spent his teenage years supporting the Adelaide Crows.
Barracking for a South Australian side isn’t exactly the done thing in Perth and Moody admits his mates gave him a bit of stick over what was a spur-of-the-moment allegiance.
“I copped it a bit,” Moody laughed.
“I didn’t mind the underdog teams and in ‘97 I decided to choose a team in the grand final (won with a famous Andrew McLeod-Darren Jarman inspired second-half comeback by Adelaide over St.Kilda) and that’s who I’d barrack for.
“I was going to go for St.Kilda but there was no jumpers at the sports store I was buying it from, there was only Adelaide Crows ones, so I bought them.”
Moody, the No. 23 pick in the 2003 National Draft, first picked up a football in the under 8 freeball competition and played from then until the under 17s at Kelmscott - the same outer south-eastern Perth suburb that produced Western Bulldogs ruckman-forward Daniel Bandy.
From Kelmscott, Moody kicked on to South Fremantle, playing in three straight colts grand finals and notching a handful of senior games, before making his way to the Lions.
His footballing resume also includes a tour of Ireland with an Australian under 17 outfit and all-Australian under 18 selection.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
WA Under 18 2002-2003; All-Australian Under 18 2002.

Re: Matthew Moody
I'm 100% on the Moody bandwagon for 2007. I know a few disagree, but of all the blokes that they were forced to put on the ground last year because of injuries he wasn't the smartest, or the best footy winner but he looked IMO most likely to kick goals, usually running from the end of the square and kicking from 45 odd. Didn't kick that many unfortunately but looked like a guy that could take advantage if permanently left on the wing or a HF flank.
And also ive got to keep harping on about the fact that he started in round 4 and wasn't dropped all year and didn't deserve to be.
What are your thoughts on what 2007 holds for Moody Loyallion and Ashli(and everyone else of course)? Will he play a similar role next year? Will returning players push him out of the squad or will it allow him to get out of defense and permanently play at half forward?

Re: Matthew Moody
Didn't he say he was only playing out his contract this year before moving on? I'm not sure where he said that though.

Re: Matthew Moody
On the negative side I thought he was pretty poor on the disposal front and tended to hold things up and slow it down more than was appropriate. On the positive side he improved a great deal over the year and looked pretty comfortable as an AFL player by the end of the year. He gets a fair bit of the ball is reasonable in the back half and can cover a fair bit of ground. I wouldn't put him in my first 22 but he wouldn't be far off. The question for me though is do you put him ahead of other guys close to him given that he has indicated that he is out of here at the end of the year. I would be playing him in the reserves and if he is clearly deserving of a place in the first 22 I play him otherwise he stays there and other 50/50 guys get a shot ahead of him.

Re: Matthew Moody
Do you sit him on his arse for the year in the seconds, or play him to increase his trade worth?
My question would be altered slightly.

Re: Matthew Moody
I put the team first rather than trying to maximise his value. I start him in the reserves and if he is a stand out I play him in the firsts because he deserves it and it is going to be in the teams best interests next year to play him. Best interests being to win games and build a winning culture amongst the young guys.
If he is only slightly better than say Schmidt then I play Schmidt to give him the experience on the basis that in the long run Schmidt is going to be with the team and again it would be in the best interests of the club to develop the other player. There is no guarantee you are going to get what you want for him at the end of the year so you deal with the guys that are in place now.

Re: Matthew Moody
Trades will only work if the other club/s are willing to cough up something suitable. There might be others priorites this trading period for WC and Freo. And Moods is a promising enough player to go in the PSD before those two clubs, both finals-bound you'd guess, get their picks.
I don't think you can base your selection process on whether a player MIGHT leave. If he's training well, playing well, basically doing all that's asked of him, he should be getting a game. He's not in my best 22, but with Hooper out of the picture ATM, there's a bit less choice of players in the forward line.
If they're on your list, you're paying them and adhering to the team ethic, you have to treat them like any other player.

Re: Matthew Moody
Can't find the report, but the Lions were going to offer Moody a 2 year contract, but Moody only wanted one year, and that's what he got. Apparently the club was disappointed that he did not want to commit long term.

Re: Matthew Moody
As official bandwagon driver i've got to wonder about this blokes performance tonight...
Just listened on SEN but godammit! he sounded like a likely type, got a lot of ball in dangerous positions but just couldn't put it away. 4 behinds to show for it and at one point I heard Brown was apparantly open 30 out and he decided to bomb away.
And at the risk of getting too camp on you all...'How do we solve a problem like 'Matt Moody's kicking for goal?'"

Re: Matthew Moody
Ive been saying his disposal is poor for 2 years now.
Others have often disagreed, really needs a hell of a lot of work. He just panics when he is near goal....... at least he was getting into positions that allowed him to be having shots on goal, to have some positivity.

Re: Matthew Moody
You'd hope the goal-kicking will click at some stage for him. Maybe Hudson can give a few pointers. Could be a really dangerous forward if not for the inaccuracy. He seems to impart far too much backspin on the ball when kicking.
Browny wasn't really open when he had that shot though. That was right in front of us and taking the shot for goal was the right play. Browny was only free when the players surrounding him ran backwards when the shot was taken, following the ball with flight.

Re: Matthew Moody
I think the answer might be flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
Honestly I guess all you can do is look at him and compare him to Marcus Allen for example. Matt is quick, he gets plenty of the pill, beats defenders and gets into very dangerous positions a lot. It's not like he's a cheating to get those four shots either. He worked hard and created all night, and his jaunty turns and little 'two-step jags' to wrong-foot opponents are getting to the stage where they are as good as anyone at the club. Finding a Cuz or a Will Hamill to replace those attributes isn't that easy. Goal kicking medium HFs are in short supply on our list.
The goal kicking is frustrating, partly because they never seem to miss by much. When I see Harding trying to find the extra oomph to cover 40m, I'm not surprised when he hooks the ball, but Moody looks fine when he kicks.
Cuz, Hammil and Duffer for instance hasn't proved he can do any of those things yet, let alone finish any better, so I think that puts his current weaknesses in perspective.

Re: Matthew Moody
From reports, sounds like Moods picked up a hamstring injury on the weekend.

Re: Matthew Moody
Not good about the hammy, could send him to school on the theory of kicking.
But seriously......
Goal kicking has been discussed by many a Monday expert.... the conclusion? Start running in on an arch. Think about it... how many times do you see a rugby player kick for goal stepping in on a straight line, a golf swing? The club swings through an arch.
Purely observational, but would not be the first time an answer has been found staring us in the face.

Re: Matthew Moody
An arcing approach might get you more distance by allowing your leg to stretch longer (Rocca's long ones are always off a big arc), but it amplifies the natural hook on the ball -- and Moods is already struggling with balls fading left. Funny thing is he runs pretty straight by most standards, so something must be hooking in his knee or ankle.
Timmy seems to be walking much straighter and has (touch wood) much improved his kicking.
Fevola kicks straighter than anyone because he walks straighter than anyone and finishes without falling away. Even after the ball is gone he pulls up inline with the mark.

I guess if you can get the first 2 or 3 no-one thinks about missing from then on.

Re: Matthew Moody
Arcing, I agree definitely used as an aid for additional distance, I would also link this style more so with left footer. So could be digging a hole there.
Re Fev kicking on a straighter line than others, whether it be searching for further improvement has also recently adopted the “Nathan Brown” style of kicking with one hand placed high on the ball, the other low, when taking a set shot.
Maybe then another way, brain wash the player into thinking confidently, pulling a figure totally out of the air, it would not surprise me if over 90% of shots missed were from self created negative thoughts.
I think that should solve that.
Next... Ok, world poverty.....
