Before everyone get's stuck into Cale Morton?

If we were even aiming for 8th this year I'd say drop him back for a week - but we're not.

So as long as playing Cale doesn't deprive us and 'future player(s)' of deserving promotion, the early big league experience will put a lasting polish a true demon of a player.

Good post, and welcome to Demonland :P

Interesting points in the for and against columns.

Cale will be a champion and has already shown some serious ability.

One thing to note: The roof was left open during the early afternoon so the heavy falling rain could complement the damage to the ground done by the friday and saturday games.

That said, his efficiency was extremely poor for (at least) the second week in a row. I dismayed myself by repeatedly groaning in anticipation of the assured momentum killing turn-over. When the chips are down and the team rallies, turn-overs like that are the hardest to shoulder.

Welcome and a smart post, a rariety sometimes.

Lets get all the games we can into this kid now while we are crap enough for him to learn, then when he is developed the team will be and he almost certainly be best 22, at this rate he is going to be one of the fastest players ever to 300.

He looks built for umpiring. lol

Haven't seen anyone as slight as he play for Melbourne since Cam Hunter played a couple of games late in 2003. I think he weighed 68kg when we drafted him.

Not even Cam Bruce was as skinny as Cale when he started out, and he was skinny!

I remember a guy by the name of Robbie Flower who was also quite skinny!

Maybe he should've been an umpire as well?!?!?!

Oh no, that's right..... He ended up being one of the greatest players to ever pull on a Melbourne guernsey....

At least Cale has one thing going for him over Robbie.... He doesn't need glasses yet! :)

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
