From memory, in an interview Moorey seemed to imply it was his own decision.David wrote:Great post, and agree with most, but particularly this. Didn't cost us because Adelaide couldn't get the ball into their forward 50, but it easily could have. And as soon as he moves back after Sidebottom kicks the point, he's back where he needs to be and takes the match-saving mark. Enough with this gimmick, imo.Boot wrote: However, not for the first time, I was dismayed to see Moore thrown forward when the game had to be won with about 10 mins of the last quarter to be played. I heard Moore say after the game that he felt the lack of tall players in our forward line needed him there for the game to be won, but I have never seen him make a positive difference to the team when playing as a forward so I would far prefer to see him saving the game in defense and providing the drive from the half back line into attack rather than in the forward line, regardless of the state of the game.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it WAS Fly’s instructions as he was having a lengthy discussion with Moore when he was on the bench. Fly is all about structure, territory, pressure and process! With Kruger going down early the Crows were killing us in the air in our forward line we needed someone to take a grab or bring it to ground at the least. Fly is always going for the win rather than try and save a game/percentage.

Either way, the fear strikes me as outdated. All concerned are smart enough to work it out.

I was looking at the player stats for the Adelaide Pies game was surprised how low JDG’s “Dream Team” score was… only 53, which places him down the bottom end both team’s players.
For a 24 possession (15 contested), 2 tackles, and I don’t know how many clearances.
Most Nicksters had JDG in their votes.

And Kayo has it also!
I’ve watched the last quarter 3 times now trying to figure out how we pulled that off GMF!
