Moore

[smasher]

Who was assigned to tag him during the game? Seemed as if the West Coke Eagles had taken note of his abilities and shut him down well.

I mentioned this somewhere else that Moore was worn like a glove by Nicoski against the Weagles.I think he only got away in the last quarter as he was scouting the packs then.
He was our fourth highest inside 50 supplier so he is still doing the little things that go unnoticed.
Young Jarred has learned a lot this year !!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't write him off after a couple of poor games.

Devil's advocate; Davis was dropped after 1 game and then following his recall was dropped again after 2 games. Are all players treated equally in the bloods culture?

He also kicked the goal that put us in front against Port.

Sorry to be pedantic, but he kicked the equaliser, Schmidt kicked the one that put us in front.

~~ Yes.

He is a very talented young player. It is understandable that he is going to be noticed by the opposition coaching staff and have his influence negated. I am confident that the Swans coaching staff will review his performances and mentor him. It's unreasonable to expect any player to be at the top of his game in every game.

Absolutely.

And to whoever criticised him for gasping for breath, surely it would be worse if he were never gasping for breath. That's a sign he's been working hard. Just watch players like Cousins (in the past), Crawford, Kerr, not to mention Goodes, Kirk et al. They are normally gasping for breath when they come off for a break, and sometimes when they're still on the ground. We know endurance isn't a natural strength of his but it is only a concern if he starts gasping as soon as he's on the ground, or if it takes him too long to recover.

Well said....he was tagged, possibly for the first timer in the AFL. I thought he was good...he was a couple of half moments from very good...just not quite getting a disposal away in time a couple of times and also missing what would hve been a beauty of a roving goal. Didn't get enough of the ball on the night, but that will come. tried his guts out (literally...again - did anyone notice him going the pre-heaves after the siren) so I have huge faith in him. An absolute mile from being dropped. Broke tackles a couple of times agasin, too.

IMO Roosy would be wanting to see Davo nearling hurling after a reserves game before he gets back in...just to demonstrate he is capable of committing the way Moore does.
