Moore showed enough

[Wally Matera]

True... but lets look further than how many games they've played. Ask your selves why they are out of the side, and why they are not performing well.
In this day and age an interrupted pre-seasons pretty much ruins your whole season. Moore has had plenty. So has JON and Meyer.

In this day and age... the number of players you can keep on your list doesnt allow you to keep too many "project players" that continue to be unlucky.

I actually think that Moore is VERY lucky... if our list over the past 3-4 years had been better, then Moore probably wouldn't have been persevered with. Our list has been so shit, that its been easy to find 5-6 blokes that have been worse to move on.

List size doesnt allow you to live and hope. If Moore had've been on a Geelong list, he would not have had the luxury of staying there injury prone.

Its harsh, but if Moore gets another injury and/or an interrupted season, immediately he becomes vulnerable - just like Coughlan currently is!

That's life...

Moore 24 years old 33 games


Shannon Brynes 24 years old 48 games.

Mathew Stakes 23 years old 38 games.

Harry Taylor 21years old ( about to turn 22) made his Debut this year and has played 7 games.

Kane Tenace 23 years old 54 games


Clubs can carry some players. I admit Moore was lucky because of a lack of KPP, but the wait has been worth it.

Either Moore got lucky... or Richmond are getting smarter with list management.

Spot on nut, people need to ask why a player is underperforming instead of looking at it like it's black and white.

JON and Meyer both have huge upside for 2009+, especially Meyer who hasn't been pain free for 2-3 years by the sounds of it.
