Gone were Daniel Bradshaw, Adam Goodes and Jesse White, replaced by Trent Dennis-Lane, midfielder Dan Hannebery and defender Ted Richards, who played the role of target man with a fleet of small forwards at his feet.
The Swans' revamped structure worked a treat in the first term as they piled on five goals to two and Moore played a key role in the smooth transition, directing traffic and ensuring the structures remained as they needed to be.
The nuggetty forward, aptly nicknamed 'Bulldog' by his teammates and coaches, said the change gave the Swans some unpredictability as they headed into Sunday's match against Carlton at Etihad Stadium.
"It throws it up a little bit; I don't know whether opposition sides are expecting [Goodes] to play forward or in the midfield now. It gives us a few more ways to set up," he said.
"I'm sure Goodesy will play more in the midfield and also spend plenty of time up forward for the rest of the year, so that will give us some versatility.
"Hopefully Braddy will be back as soon as next week but if he doesn't get up, I'm sure there will be some little hobbits running around in the forward line."
With so many changes occurring around him, Moore said he relished the responsibility of a senior role in the forward 50.
"I definitely see myself as someone who plays permanently forward, where the other guys might rotate through the midfield or even the backline sometimes," he said.
"I basically see myself as a person who can organise where everyone stands and make sure everyone knows what type of role they have to play.
"I've been trying to work on my leadership and that's one way that I can definitely do that.
"It's really just being switched on the whole time and not only worrying about yourself, but worrying about what everyone else is doing around you. It's a big challenge but I look forward to it each week."
It wasn't just the Swans' forward line that needed to adapt to the new-look structure, with the midfield shuffling to accommodate Goodes and the absence of Hannebery.
However, none of it would have been possible without the tremendous work ethic of Richards, who hit the packs with gusto to bring the smalls into the game.
"I'm not sure what's going to happen this week, but coming out of that game, Teddy Richards had a really big influence to be able to compete and to work hard," Moore said.
"He ran out of puff in the last quarter but he really competed for the first three quarters and it made the little fellas' job a lot easier."
A member of the Swans' leadership group in 2009, Moore said he was initially disappointed to have been left out of the initial 2010 group. But rather than take his demotion personally, the 24-year-old simply accepted his peers' verdict and worked to improve himself.
Despite missing six weeks with an ankle injury, his application paid off when he was added to the nine-man leadership group in a mid-season review.
Moore's embrace of a leadership role also extends to his off-field life, where he rooms with a couple of the youngest Swans.
"When I first got to the club, I was put in with a couple of older guys as well so I see it as my turn to look after a couple of young guys," he said.
"I've got Nathan Gordon as well as Dylan McNeil, and they're going well. They're playing some good footy in the twos so they're having a pretty good year."
