Stats
Bio
A local recruit from neighbouring Abbotsford, Alex Moore's football journey was heavily defined by the interruptions of the Second World War. He served three years in the Australian Army and was discharged just prior to making his debut for Collingwood during the difficult 1943 season. Standing 180cm, Moore was brought in to bolster a squad depleted by service enlistments and managed two senior appearances in the black and white without registering a goal. His brief career stands as a testament to the "wartime footballer" era, where local talents stepped up to fill critical voids in VFL lists before fading from the top level.
