    Blue collar Moore relishes hard work

    Blue collar Moore relishes hard work

    I know he has some fans, but I'm worried about his lack of pace, lack of heght and lack of aerobic capacity. Looks more like a mini Anthony Rocca after a short sprint - gasping for air.

    I know he is strong and stands up in the tackle when he does get a possession. Are there any other things that will take him to being a good player?
    "As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
    Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.

      The skill of being where the ball is cannot be taught..and the balance he shows cannot be taught...nice to have a guy who is a footballer learning to be an athlete, rather than an athlete hoping to be a footballer!
      Does Greg Williams ring a bell?

          Moore's height in deceiving.He's 178 cms or 5ft 10ins in the old terms.He's also listed as being 84kgs.These are the stats that were listed when he was originally drafted in 2004 and his body shape has changed heaps since then.I wouldn't have called him solid when he first went to Sydney.Also he does have good burst speed.He was in the top ten in the draft camp 20metre sprints.His problem is definately indurance which possibly goes back to his junior days when he just floated around dominating games from the midfield.

              184cms would make him easily 6', the club has him listed at 178cm which makes him around 5'10"; I've stood next to him and to be honest I think that 5'10" measurement is a tad generous
              I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                  Height inflated in a midfielder - Moore or Less?

                      I'm 5'6 so anyone at the Swans would tower me. (apart from Crouch )

                              Yeah but anyone can have that "Balance" when your centre of gravity is so low...

                                  So does that reduce its' value somehow? My point was that it cannot be taught!

                                      You must be well balanced?

                                          And my point was to be funny... But I'll aim a bit more low brow with you next time.. It may help.

                                                  Perfectly. In every way.

                                                      RP, maybe next time use 2 . One obviously wasn't enough.
