Not convinced this a good signing, actually I think it is a bad one  :help

Hope I am wrong

But obviously he passed the medical they got him to take last week

But he is now a Tiger player so it's time to support him

can he kick the ball accurately WP and what is he like under finals type pressure in big matches? Thats all i care about.

Go watch the last quarter of the 2014 prelim. It's not pretty.....

How would we know?

He might be ok as a Matt Thomas like back up if we have injuries.

He'd know its last chance saloon so I'd it's not a bad thing to have a couple of these on our list - it comes down to whether he's the "right one"

If we are looking for a "Thomas" type why sign to the senior list? Why not take him as mature age rookie instead.

Think there are better FA options out there

What are the better options out there?
Might be valid but I'm not sure if there is anyone more obviously better than Andy Moore.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

As inside mids...Ballard & O'Brien...in general....Gorringe, Redden, White, Harper, Adcock.....

RE: final quarter in final , not sure with any player that you can't find an horrendous quarter somewhere.

Yes but only special few cost their side a Grand Final berth....

I'd say it was his turnovers that were far more telling......

The video of Moore shows he knows where the goals are under pressure and at distance.  I have a strange feeling they might use him as a pressure small forward to rotate through midfield.  Not so much as an in and under bloke.

Mmmm bit tall. Does he play small? Could still play as a small forward if so

Is he small enough to pinch hit as a small tall ruckman?

Put it this way I look at Conca Griffiths Hunt weak as pee average footballer types and then I look at Moore and ask can we get better or do worse.

The answer is better so welcome to Punt Rd Andrew.
