Gary was delisted by Essendon in 2002 after playing 95 games and struggling to retain his spot in a talented side. Ironically 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 played in 3 losing games with Demons, and after a lacklustre debut suffered a severe season ending knee injury and was almost immediately delisted the 27 year old, ending his 98 game, 9 year VFL/AFL career.
