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.
