“I felt a bit of disappointment, regret, stress, anxiety,” he said.
“I was in a cell overnight not knowing if my friends and family knew in Australia.
“It was all just disappointment and fear of what they’re going to think.”
Seven also reported that the pair faced an initial charge on drug paraphernalia, but Moore said that was dismissed.
“No that charge has been dismissed,” he said.
The duo were fined by the club but Hawthorn are yet to reveal exactly what additional punishment they will face. The two players will also undergo alcohol counselling and will complete community service.
“They were tough calls to make back home,” Moore said about his contact with the club.
“It was scary because all they wanted to do was help me, but I was on the other side of the world.
“I feel quite sorry for Sam [coach Sam Mitchell]. I disappointed him and the fellow leaders.

“I was vice-captain at the time, and I should be recognising situations like that and knowing the consequences there is, and having Connor there with me, as an older player, I should know better.”
Hawthorn chief executive Ash Klein confirmed the incident to the network, and said Moore would “learn” from it.
“He’s regretful and remorseful from day one,” Klein said.
“He’s learnt from this. He’s going to re-educate himself from this.”
