We’ve asked Physical Performance Manager Luke Boyd to nominate five players that have impressed him over the course of the pre-season. 

Some are yet to debut, others have had multiple visits to the top of the game’s mountain, all have a point to prove when it comes to a pre-season campaign.

Dylan Moore has taken the momentum from his fantastic VFL finals performances into this summer.                               

Awarded Box Hill’s Best Finals player in his first season in the brown and gold, the VFL premiership player looks to have taken confidence from the experience in his quest for a senior debut in 2019.

Physical Performance Manager Luke Boyd has been impressed by the 19-year-old’s relentless training standards.

“Moorey has had an excellent preparation to the season,” Boyd said. 

“He has been one of our most consistent trainers. 

“He hasn’t missed a training session up to this point, which, for a second-year player, that’s really rare and really impressive.”

Boyd says Moore’s aerobic strength has been on show throughout the pre-season.

“He ran an excellent time trial, finishing fourth amongst a strong group of runners,” Boyd said.

“His endurance is his weapon as an athlete and he has been consistently up in the top two or three in all of our running blocks.”
