Agreed. Over 4 quarters it was no better than an average game.

That's the problem with watching afl.com live overseas. You see him getting 25 odd touches and 3 goals and you think 'WOW that must have been an impressive performance!

But still, he's kicked a bag of 3 goals twice- which Cotchin, Palmer and Masten haven't achieved.

Cotchin, Palmer and Masten all generally play as midfielders.

Morton is a floating flanker in fairness to the other players.

He played well today though. Got a great engine, just needs to be more decisive and not worry himself so much.

Seems like he'll be one of these blokes.. Got talent..comes straight in.. get a bit wobbly and never quite finds his rythym. Then has a solid preseason.. fills out a bit and comes back "in tune"..and is a gem :)

Theres more than a little something abou thim :)

Agree. His disposal needs some serious work, but the kid knows where to put himself. He is quite capable of racking up the possies. Puts himself in the right position most of the time. disposal needs work, but hey, he's got time.

As for Daniel Bell :angry:

He should surely get it this week. He played well and he actually hit a few targets by the end of the game. He will be a very good player once he finds some more confidence. He is suppose to be a good kick hopefully it's only a confidence thing that he is missing so many targets. One good thing about him is he can definately find a fair bit of the footy.

What now?

He did a good job on McPhee, and from memory had one really poor kick. Layed some fantastic tackles too.

What is the deal with people hating Daniel Bell all of a sudden?

I didn't think he was too bad either, in fact I thought he did a pretty reasonable job.

But I guess there always has to be one and its his turn :angry:

As for Morton, definitely one of his best performances today, and it was great to see him work his way into the match after a wobbly start.

Hopefully he gets rewarded with the Rising Star nom this week, but if not it is still great and very encouraging to watch him play

(despite the obvious work that is needed on his build and disposal)

As Bub said, there is absolutely something about him.......

Cale is one of the positives of the year, i have no doubt he will be a star for us for years to come.

Also like Buckley, love the way he takes them on with run and carry. The way he moves reminds me of Gerrard Healy.

That tackle in the first or second quarter was awesome.. you don't see Belly doing that too often but he did it perfectly and was rewarded.. thank god. Saw a bit of grunt in him that I don't think I've really seen before so I'm not sure if he's been warned after some average performances, but I thought he played quite well today.

As for Morton, I still get scared he's going to break when he gets crunched in a tackle.

But his last quarter today and his first quarter against Freo in particular have got me verrrrry excited about him.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
