Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Dylan Moore. Extends to 2026!

[JZedd]

4 weeks to full recovery from the time of diagnosis with EBV would require a lot of luck. More than 70% of adult cases experience some degree of post-viral lethargy, I think the Hawks club doctor is taking a bit of a stab in the dark there. If there is zero lethargy, he could be right in as little as two weeks, but that would be quite unusual.

I didn't really want to post this but my Glandular fever (Epstein Barr virus and Cytomegaloviris) hit me in 1995 . I've still got it (Chronic fatigue) and need to manage it carefully.

On the bright side, if you eat healthy and you're young you can get over it. Also, Dylan is fit as well. Eliminating stress is vital. I'm pretty sure the club know all this.

I'm hoping he's fully fit and over it by rounds 3 to 4.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

He's already running. Hawthorn being ultra cautious but he is 3-4 weeks in to the 4 week initial illness (i'm no doctor, just what I'm told). Very mild symptoms. Has not ruled out Round 1.

Could explain why he was quiet during one of the intra's two weeks ago.

 

[offtherails9]

I'm hoping he's back in R1 but he looks sick in the few photos I've seen of him from the season launch/7 media stuff

Yeah, I had glandular fever in my very early 20s and it took me a long time to get over it; I relapsed several times because I had no understanding that I hadn't actually got over it. (You think you're fine and then bang, you're not.)

Now I have Long Covid and elements of it are manifesting in a very similar way to chronic fatigue (or it has triggered CF, it's hard to know because it's all so new) - and I strongly suspect that my past run in with glandular fever is either related to me reacting so badly this time or maybe demonstrates some disposition to being vulnerable to certain viruses.

Really hope Moore doesn't react in the same way, and that he takes the recovery time he needs. It's almost impossible to know - I certainly thought I was ok and was at uni and playing sports etc, with a super busy lifestyle, and it would just hit me out of nowhere. But hopefully he's in a great environment and the medics are on top of it and know a lot more about it now than they did a couple of decades ago.

 

[Hawked Wings]

Could he be the sub the first few weeks?

 

[H00t]

Unlikely. He’s either right to go and should be playing or he’s not in which case he should be resting up so it doesn’t flare up.

There are some new developments. Neuroscientists in QLD
Low-dose naltrexone therapy is sometimes used to relieve pain and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Researchers are also looking at its effectiveness in treating multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, and long COVID.9 Nov 2023

I hope this helps for those suffering from this wretched disease.

 

[Beandip]

Look at his eyes, especially the bags under them. And a pit pale. He looks run down.

To be fair, Breust looks the same (and his kid hasn't even been born yet... ho ho ho, just wait old boy!)

 

[burger09]

What a game from Moore.
Off a limited pre season he reminded us of just how brave and skillful he can be.

 

[SSSSSS]

Spiritual captain.

Stepped up while our captain on the other end of the ground spat the dummy as it just wasn't his day.

He will be our next captain I have no doubt about it. That slips catch with the back to the ball as the second smallest player on the ground was inspirational.

 

[rei154]

Jeez his 10 score involvements are understated for us- better than 1/3 our shots were set up/involved him and that's insane!

He is just about the most Hawthorn person getting around. Future president as well.

 

[The Chad and I]

I was almost fed up with Moore, and then he had a breakout season.
He is easily the best finisher in open play and under pressure that I have ever seen play the game.

 

[dermott]

Quite a remarkable game from Moore especially considering he had just recovered from glandular fever.
He is inspirational.

Jarman, Pritchard, Buckenara.

I could go on, but, big call right there you've made

All great (and better players than Moore at this point) but Moore is the best shot at goal under tackle pressure.

 

[HedgeFund]

All great (and better players than Moore at this point) but Moore is the best shot at goal under tackle pressure.

Think of P. Daicos & E. Betts. Did it year in year out for 250 & 300+ games

Plenty more have done it better than Dylan in the past 40 years too of you take the time to analyse it.

Plenty of small forwards better than Moore, did much more as players, had better careers - and they took a lot of shots that missed too.

My point is that Moore converts the best of the lot under pressure in open play.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Quite a remarkable game from Moore especially considering he had just recovered from glandular fever.
He is inspirational.

We have probably undersold his performance on the weekend.

To come back and be close to BOG for us just four weeks after being diagnosed with Glandular Fever is some feat.

He is a tough little bugger no doubt about it.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

The intensity and courage he shows is just awesome to watch.
Would be a really motivating person to be around I reckon. Or annoying. One way or the other.

Yes, annoying in the way that you have that one mate that is always super positive and high achieving and makes you look bad in comparison

Moore really is one of the most underrated players in the AFL. Very few players in the AFL have the attributes he does. He's a real point of difference. He was back to his 2022 best last weekend (certainly didn't have a bad 2023, just wasn't as lethal). I hope he can get his goalscoring up this season because he would be all that more valuable. One of our best players and the best forwards in the competition (as well as one of my favourites).

 

[Brant]

Moore really is one of the most underrated players in the AFL. Very few players in the AFL have the attributes he does.

Pretty sure he's the only player averaging 17 disposals & 3 goals a game in 2024.

 

[OsakaHawk]

Pretty sure he's the only player averaging 17 disposals & 3 goals a game in 2024.

Rachele has the same 17 & 3, Hogan has an average 15 disposals and 5 goals which is pretty impressive. None of them had glandular fever for last month of pre-season though. Love Moorey

 

[crazywildhorse]

Has to be captain next season. Steps up first
