Brad Moran

Postby Sojourner » Sun Jun 29, 2008 6:06 pm

Just wondering if Moran is carrying an injury in the SANFL at present?

He was a Ruckman at North Melbourne, yet has been played in various positions at West Adelaide. Clearly he had to break his way back into the West Adelaide side after an injury, yet in the games that he has played for the club seem to be very much hit and miss. In yesterdays match he was played at Full Back and did not get anywhere remotley near the Best Players for West Adelaide.

So maybe he is carrying an injury is my thoughts, it seems worrying that he could be picked for North Melbourne yet the year later struggles in the SANFL?

Perhaps the Crows have asked his SANFL team to develop him as other than a ruckman because of his injury prone status?

How is that possible? :lol:

He looked ok playing for the Crows in the pre-season but after the injury it seems he has struggled quite a bit which is disappointing.

His performance yesterday left a lot to be desired. There was a real lack of effort from Brad yesterday. If he keeps on playing like that he won't find himself on the crows list much longer. I hope it is just a lack of confidence after a long time on the sidelines.

Between the broken finger & then the hamstring injury he really has not played a lot of football this year - need to review in a coule weeks IMO.

If he is not still carrying an injury, it sounds like he may lack motivation to make the effort at SANFL level.
If so that would not make him a good bet at AFL level either.
You really want guys who put in at any level.

A much improved effort from Brad yesterday he seemed to move a lot better and had his leap back. Hopefully he can do that for the rest of the season for the bloods.

I dont think so. I think he will be really handy and I think the cows should try him up forward. Get some big bodies up there.

I agree the Crows need some bigger bodies up forward, so long as they are fit.

Which the Crows [and the "Power"] both seem to do.
