Gary Moorcroft Biography
Gary Moorcroft (born 16 April 1976) is a former Australian rules football player for Essendon and Melbourne in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Moorcroft caught the attention of talent scouts with his winning of the Morrish Medal in 1994 whilst playing for the Northern Knights.
Moorcroft was a short, stocky and explosive goalsneak who participated in a premiership with Essendon in 2000 and a Grand Final side against the Brisbane Lions in 2001. He was delisted by Essendon in 2002 after playing 95 games and struggling to retain his spot in a talented side. It was the Demons, who Essendon beat in the 2000 final in which Moorcroft was an outstanding player, who picked him up in the draft.
Moorcroft is best known for winning the 2001 Mark of the Year, with a spectacular high-flying mark in round 14, 2001 against the Western Bulldogs, taking the mark over Bulldogs’ forward Brad Johnson. The mark was particularly notable in that Moorcroft first jumped onto Johnson’s back, then leapt higher into the air by leveraging himself off Johnson; this is very rare, as players will usually jump onto their opponent’s back, then appear to hang at the same height while taking the mark (hence the colloquial term hanger for such a mark). For a similar reason, Johnson is often referred to as the springboard for this mark, when the term stepladder is used for the player underneath a hanger.
Moorcroft spent a season at Bendigo Bombers in the VFL, before retiring from AFL/VFL and moving into the local leagues. In 2005 Moorcroft joined the Silvan F.C. in the Yarra Valley Mountain Football League. During his time at Silvan, Moorcroft won four club Best & Fairest awards, broke the 100 goal mark twice, including topping the goalkicking tables of all leagues with 163 goals in 2008. A season in which he brought up the ton in round 11! As well as playing in three grand finals at Silvan, winning back to back flags in 2007/08.
In 2009/10, Moorcroft was playing for the Romsey Redbacks in the Riddell District Football League (RDFL).
In 2011 he joined Bundoora in the Northern Football League (NFL) and has played in 3 Premierships with the Bulls (2011, 2013 & 2017). As a 41 year old kicking the winning goal in the 2017 Grand Final. At the completion of the 2019 season, while still playing at high level at Bundoora, and at 43 years old, Moorcroft announced his retirement from senior footy for good. Gary Moorcroft’s contribution to football from the AFL elite level all the way down to the local leagues is a legacy which will be acknowledged for ever!
