Kelvin Moore [merged]

[Tiger Woods]

Back line is tight, no one is getting dropped. However, there is nothing wrong with players trying to break in and put some healthy pressure on the senior boys. Maintains some tenacity and 4 quarter efforts if there are others nipping at your heels.

All said and done it would be good for him just to have an influence on the up and comers

[eliminator]

agree with Gerks

Moore would be a great player for coburg

[georgies31]

What's all the negative the stuff for Moore?? Rating him to McGuane please .Before he got injuries he was a decent defender for us .He would line up against the best forwards with effect.People have short memory bigtime.He was always playing above his weight and height and I cant remember him getting outsmart by Fev ,Franklin etc.Would love him back.

I don't think it's so much negativity directed at him personally but more-so at his capabilities and potential compared to our current defenders. Moore was always a solid defender but is undersized for the tall forwards of the comp. He would fill a role similar to Batchelor now but I believe Batch has far better marking and disposal to Kelvin. Rance, Grimes and Griffiths have him covered already and they are only infants in typical defender experience.

To many Moore represents a bad memory and I just can't see him pushing out any of our current defenders despite being a top bloke.

Yeah hooray lets drop rance or Griffiths or Grimes or Bach or dea for another mguane type in moore. No way noise will never adjust to the pace of the game today ... Footy leaves no passengers behind

hmm batch is not a tall the way hes fumbled lately i wonder if hes a player at times.
  seems to me grimes is hurt and not playing its been a theme . grimesy is a skinny runt atm and i bet he will suffer more than his fair share of injuries because of it.
if moore was fit and got back into form he would be a handy reolacement for grimes atm.

i dont know much about his injuries but i figure if he was playing under duress before the ops  and  the ops have fixed him and allows him to play pain free there would be a chance he can come back better than before. me i thought he lost some pace and he was struggling because of it. obviously his hips affected the way he ran and his pace. if he does get back theres every chance we will have an even better player than before.

thats it though long time out, can he get back to form.  is he over the problem, can he play without doing any further harm?  if yes to these questions  hes a badly needed experienced player who offers us depth down back.
if the answer is no then we should do him a favor and make him retire.

not one of  us knows the real story. we  can only assume the club would have cut him long before this if they thought he could not get back or if the medical prognosis was he cant get back.sometimes even i have to trust their word.
even if we keep kel and he does get back to form  hes not the type we lack. i think we should be targeting a different type of kpd  one about 195/ 100kg if possible. depth and cover is what we are now looking for.

[gerkin greg]

yeah he's pulled two hamstrings dues to his lack of size

yep, thats a new one for me. you learn something new ever day i suppose 

on batch's supposed fumbling, after last weeks game he said it was the fastest he has played in.
three weeks or so ago he was being lauded for his ability to take back line marks.
how many games has the kid played.......?

[Hellenic Tiger]

I just get the feeling Kel might struggle with the pace of the game and may call stumps for his own benefit and the clubs. Club should keep him on in an off field capacity.

I would agree with both and perhaps that has been the intention all along?
I've always thought that this was about achieving the goal of being able to returnto his previous condition/fitness. I know that it doesn't make sense to put all that hard work into surgery/ recovery and training just to get back to peak fitness and not play... Imo I've always thought that the club was prepared to stick by him 100% to get back on track and then take it from there.

If he does retire it could be one of the greatest non comebacks of all time

[Judge Roughneck]

Batchelor is only a 2nd year player.

To fumble once in a blue moon is not too bad. Hes a solid player
