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.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
