Early career

Moore mixed his football with athletics during his junior career. He said he did athletics in the summer "just to get myself fit for footy in the winter." He took out a state steeplechase title in 2014 and a 1600m event at the Stawell Gift in 2016.[1]

He attended Caulfield Grammar School and won the best and fairest award for the schools First XVIII football side during his draft year.[2]

Ranked by Champion Data as the 12th best player in the draft pool, the Eastern Ranges product was one of the bargain picks when the Hawks swooped at selection No.67.[3]

AFL career

He injured his shoulder playing for Box Hill after two VFL games and missed eight weeks of footy. Once fit he returned to the team and progressively got better and better. He played a superb finals series for Box Hill, with four goals in the preliminary final and three goals in the victorious Grand Final.[4]

He made his debut against North Melbourne after a late withdrawal of Jarryd Roughead with injury.[5] Moore managed to play seven games in his debut season.

Dealing with a Covid season, with but teams in travelling hubs Moore was given three games at the end of the season. In just his tenth game and the last for the 2020 season Moore was voted as best on ground with a 25 disposals and a goal.[6]
