Is this Andrew Moody? Right age, right size and was in WA last year.

Clontarf: Clontarf Academy-News: Making the grade
Could it be that they were born in Dubbo/Narromine, spent some time in WA last year (the Clontarf article says Andrew came to WA from "over in Sydney in 2009"), before returning to Narromine? Mum got sick, brothers went back down to Sydney to have a shot, and have now been picked up?
Perhaps they have family in WA and so have spent some time flitting back and forth? It would be very odd for there to have been a different Eric Moody and Andrew Moody, both of the right age, in the WAFL, and their own club got mixed up between them. Somehow, they need to have been from Narromine AND WA.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Looks like the right face too, going by the photo in this article.
Also, the WA Moody was playing U16s a year ago, based on that article. I am not exactly sure how the age cut-offs work but "our" Moody is already 18 and eligible to be drafted this year. I suspect he wouldn't then have been eligble to play U16s a year ago.Comment

I am not convinced those photos are of the same lad. The one of the WA Moody doesn't look like how I remembered "our" Moody looks from the couple of times I've watched him play.
