Encyclopedia
Jarred Moore is an Australian rules football
er in the Australian Football League
(AFL).
Moore grew up in Langwarrin and played for the Dandenong Stingrays
in the TAC Cup
, from where he was recruited as the number 31 draft pick in the 2004 AFL Draft
by the Sydney Swans
. He was touted as a potential number 1 draft pick in 2004. due to an exceptional performance in the grand final of the TAC Cup. Jarred Moore was captain of the Dandenong Stingrays in 2004 and also was captain.
He made his AFL debut for the Swans in Round 7, 2005 against Essendon
. He spent three years playing primarily in the ACT/NSW reserve football league, with the occasional outing for the seniors before finally breaking into the senior team in the 2008 season. This season proved to be the making of Moore as he took up a spot in the Swans' forward line. His clever and very accurate kicking set up numerous goals and he proved to be a consistent avenue to goal.
In 2009, Moore's form dipped from the outstanding year he had in 2008. He drifted in and out of games and his season was ended prematurely against Collingwood at the MCG when he bravely backed back into a pack and had his lung punctured.
In 2010, Moore regained a consistent place in the Swans' forward line. His organisation and clever disposal were the 2 things the coaches seemed to be most pleased with through the season and his leadership in the absence of the likes of Bradshaw, McGlynn and Goodes (when playing through the midfield) seemed to improve as well.
