Senior 43. Ashton Moir

If this kid could be put under someone like Ed Curnow or Weiters or Walsh’s support he could be the electric medium forward that we need.

Good luck Ashton …. this is your second chance (park 2023), get fit, impress the coaches and team mates with your attitude and let your skills do all the talking

Such an interesting selection this one. The up-side is massive. A rangy HFF who looks very good in the air and has silky skills. The perfect replacement for Jack Martin in 2-3 years.

Looking at his highlights he plays bigger than I would have thought and is a very good overhead mark.

Good height for a third tall at 187cm. Has a good vertical leap and his bio shows he finished fifth in the agility test at the national combine, which makes for great reading.

I really hope the club is patient with him and builds his body/endurance so he is AFL ready when he makes his debut.

Would be incredible if he played Round 1. In a way I hope you are right, because it would be so exciting.

We are playing a very tough, seasoned team in Brisbane in Round Zero so it would be a massive ask to debut. I reckon Voss and the MC will take in experience players for our first game. Martin and JSOS play the 3rd forward role and would be ahead of Ashton I would suggest.

I'm thinking we will take our time with him. From all reports he had injury issues last year and hasn't got the base level fitness required to play AFL.

I'm more than happy watching him develop his body/endurance in the VFL
 
On reflection of the last few games, I don’t see him playing in the AFL this year. Needs to get his tank up. I hope I’m wrong. Got some serious skill however

Away from footy skills, huge shoutout to his fan interaction on Sunday, super engaging with the youngsters / anyone really.

During the signing was asking the kids questions and very talkative. Appreciate all different types play footy and not everyone is extroverted but he was great.

In my limited exposure seems the players on the outer or not the stars can be sheepish, he was brilliant. Wonderful kid

doesn't the high performance mob set him up with a program?

That might be why the performances are so low at the moment: they're loading him up and then keeping him on top of things on game day. Not how I'd do it though, and probably not the case.

He's got a history of hip - and I'm assuming groin - issues, so it might just be he's playing through some stuff and they might make a call soon on corrective surgery.

Yeah, not wanting to pot the bloke, but his performances have been a little underwhelming to date.....BUT, he's predominantly been playing with a bunch of kids at VFL level so far, so not easy to gauge his development. Maybe he's still carrying that hip....who knows?

Either way, you can see that he's got AFL attributes in spades, so hopefully once we start getting injured players back on the park, he'll be surrounded by more experience and can start developing his game to a new level. He seems the type of kid that would thrive more at AFL level rather than state league similar to Elijah, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Still reckon he'll get a call up during the 2nd half of the season.
