Hawthorn star lifts lid on bombshell arrest and brutal fallout

Dylan Moore regrets a split-second decision that led to a US arrest, losing vice-captaincy; he completed 16 hours of education and faces a July court date in Arizona.

  • Dylan Moore broke his silence on Tuesday, apologising for a 'foolish' mistake that led to his and Connor Macdonald's arrest in Phoenix, Arizona, last November; both face pending US court dates later this year.
  • While in Phoenix for pre-season training, Moore says a split-second decision to climb a scissor lift led to police custody during the training period away from the club.
  • Hawthorn removed Dylan Moore from the vice-captaincy and overlooked him for leadership under co-captains James Sicily and Jai Newcombe, while the club fined the pair and mandated alcohol counselling and community service; a drug paraphernalia charge was dismissed and the AFL imposed no further sanctions.
  • With rehabilitation steps completed, Moore said the club handled most legal work over four months and he will focus on supporting the team and co-captains, Moore said.
  • Details surfaced three days before Hawthorn's Round 1 clash, with Macdonald featuring in the loss to GWS and set to face Essendon at the MCG on Friday night.
