November 09, 2015 3:38PMRICHMOND’S latest recruit Andrew Moore says he’s confident his best football is ahead of him, as he prepares to start preseason training at Punt Road.
Speaking to FIVEaa in Adelaide on Monday, Moore said he was determined to cement his position as an inside midfielder at Richmond, alongside the likes of Cotchin, Martin and Miles.
“I’ve had quite an interrupted career thus far due to some injuries,” Moore said.
“I’ve been able to play some decent SANFL football, but I found it quite tough to translate it up to the AFL level.
“It’s going to be a focus for me to try and emulate that form in the AFL.”
After being recruited to Richmond as a delisted free agent, Moore said coach Damien Hardwick allayed some of his nerves with a phone call on Friday.
“He welcomed me to the club and said, ‘you’re here to play AFL football and play that inside role’,” Moore said.
“And that’s where I think I play my best football.”
Moore — who played 55 games with Port Adelaide — continues the family tradition at Richmond.
His older brother, Kelvin, played 87 games in the yellow and black from 2004-2012.
“I’ve obviously got a bit of a soft spot for Richmond because of my brother,” Moore said.
“I spent a bit of time in the rooms after the games (as a teenager).”
