Moore was one of the best full-backs of his era and played in three Hawthorn premierships during his 300-game career between 1970 and 1984.[1]
In 2005, Moore was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.[2] He won the club's best and fairest award in 1979, was named at full-back in the Hawthorn Team of the Twentieth Century[3] and was an inaugural member of the Hawthorn's Hall of Fame.[4] He was considered unlucky by many not to be selected at full-back in the AFL Team of the Century.[5]
After retiring from the VFL, he played for the Frankston Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), often as a half-forward.[6] He was later a chairman of selectors for Frankston, St Kilda and Hawthorn,[7] a Hawthorn board member, and an assistant coach for Hawthorn under Peter Schwab.[8]
