Tough side to break into & I recall what happened to Constable even though he punched out some nice scores...
When you have a midfield comprising of :- Dangerfield, Selwood, Duncan, Menegola, Higgins, I Smith, Guthrie (AA last year), Parfitt, etc I just wonder how many games he will actually get to make enough decent money.

Moore is one who very much is on my radar, was firmly in my MPM team already but at 302k and the way he played against the Suns last year and role he's very much in play. Looked the type who can push low 90s range on the back of a big preseason, which it seems he's had. Love to know what role he ended up in for the game. Wing/Mid vs forward is a huge difference for a guy like him.

Moore is one that members of this forum will know I've been big on for the last couple of years.
He really should've got a lot more games last year, but they made him really wait and do a lot more than most to earn his opportunity after he had barely any preseason coming off a groin injury. Took the absolute micky out of some of those intra club/combined team games within the hubs, having 20's and kicking 2-3 each and every game. Was stoked with his game in the final round, showed everyone the player he could become for us, I think he's miles better than Morris and Hanrahan, and don't even get me started on Nash who was experimented as a tall in that pressure/high half forward role at times.

I think he's most likely going to be a half forward, so probably a bit of both.
When I've seen him play previously he seems to be a reasonably good kick, and he's usually top 3 in the time trials pre-season, so endurance is not an issue. Half forward should be a decent role for him - hopefully he can get around the ground a bit and they can use his skills. He did kick a couple of goals today, but I don't want him sitting in the forward 50 all game, that's a waste. From all reports he's had a very good pre-season and could surprise a few.

“Greater Western Sydney will hand uncapped sixth-year tall Matt Flynn their starting ruck position after the untimely shoulder injury to recruit Braydon Preuss.
The Giants confirmed on Thursday they could only create list room for a summer rookie such as ex-North Melbourne utility Majak Daw if Preuss’s injury was season-ending.
But Preuss is expected to miss four months and return mid-season after reconstructive surgery on Thursday.
GWS football boss Jason McCartney confirmed Flynn’s exciting summer had him poised to get his first games of his career after an ill-timed ACL injury in mid-2019.
The 200cm, 100kg ruckman is an aggressive, athletic ruckman who had been pushing Preuss all summer.
The Giants also have Shane Mumford in good shape should he be called upon, as well as emerging ruckman Kieren Briggs.
All Australian Toby Greene is in some of the best shape of his career after an off-season honed by an intensive boxing routine.
Clubs continue to consider key position players as backup for summer rookie spots after inopportune injuries.
Daw was disappointed not to be settled into defence last year at North Melbourne but despite being better suited in the back half is happy to push his wares at Melbourne.
At Carlton, former Demons full back Oscar McDonaldis making a strong case to be put on the club’s list.
Former St Kilda No. 1 overall pick Patrick McCartin has not been called up to train with an AFL club despite being keen to return to the league.
But the Herald Sununderstands he is expected to play football with Sydney’s reserves team in the new-look VFL competition.
His brother Tom McCartin is being settled into defence for the Swans this summer, with Sydney at one stage considering him for a rookie spot in last year’s rookie draft.
He is understood to be confident he has more football left in him despite repeated concussions after medical clearance to return to football.”
