Moir is still only a kid. Just turned 21, hasn't even played 15 games yet.

He may well have a long career and i expect it to be similar to someone like Houlihan who will constantly be berated for the way he 'looks' when he plays.

Its not the 'in' thing at the moment for someone to conserve their energy and not waste it chasing someone they will never catch.
The 'in' thing is why someone like Fogarty has kept someone like Moir out of the side. Run, chase, tackle.

At the end of the day, whoever kicks the most goals wins games.
Moir might do nothing for 90% of the game, but he'll likely kick you a goal or 2 in the other 10%.....which is an upgrade on Fogarty.
I actually wrote that before deciding to double check my observations.

13 games
15 goals (7 behinds)

1.15 goals/ game

Fogarty
76 games
36 goals (40 behinds)
0.39 goals/game

I suspect that you're on the money with Moir. He will probably have a long career distinguished by brilliant cameos from time to time, consistent goal kicking but never really taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Jack Ison seems to be a similar player and those two may end up competing for the same spot.

I saw a video of Cottrell talking about Ainsworth. THATS the type of player we need at our club. The Application form should have 4 questions:
1. Can you run fast?
2. Can you kick well?
3. Do you want to win?
4. Are you a Kent?
If you answered yes to all 4, welcome to the CFC and you will be considered for the captaincy.

Our man Thry predicted that Ainsworth would be the pick of our new recruits and it seems that he's nailed it. Ainsworth hasn't yet played his best footy for us, but his energy and competitiveness seems contagious.

Ainsworth plays like he gives a f...., Moir doesn't. Ison also plays with urgency and is more than capable playing further up the ground, so Moir needs to extract the digit. Oh, if he thinks we're going to let him chuff off the Adelaide .... BZZZXT wrong answer.
