Ashton Moir has breathed life into Carlton\u2019s future with a three-goal opening half.<\/p>\n
His fine performance came as Blues ruckman Tom De Koning left the field shortly before half-time clutching his wrist in pain. Let\u2019s hope he is OK for Carlton and St Kilda\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n
But back to Moir. The 20-year-old six-gamer has now doubled his career goal tally, having booted three leading into the Melbourne clash.<\/p>\n
Collingwood legend and Fox Footy commentator Nathan Buckley praised the 188-centimetre forward, saying he was capable of kicking goals from set shots on either feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI found out the other day he actually kicks each set shot on the opposite side,\u201d Buckley said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will have his next set shot as a right footer. He doesn\u2019t do it depending on what side (of the ground) he\u2019s on. He just says, \u2018one\u2019s a left foot, the next one\u2019s a right foot, the next one\u2019s a left foot\u2019. He said that in a recruiting meeting.\u201d <\/p>\n
However, Moir did not follow the script. Sorry, Bucks. He nailed two set shots with his left foot.<\/p>\n
While the game dropped away as a spectacle \u2013 two goals in the second term compared to seven in the first \u2013 Carlton\u2019s pressure has been top-notch. So, you couldn\u2019t say Michael Voss has lost his players.<\/p>\n
So far, Charlie Curnow has been the Blues\u2019 best with 14 disposals, two goals and a real willingness to compete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ashton Moir has breathed life into Carlton\u2019s future with a three-goal opening half.
