Please dont compare the best 18 year I have seen in an MFC jumper with Cameron Bruce.

And to answer the question, he will be able to play anywhere once he puts weight on.

Will play like James Hird, and be every bit as good.

Well then you should have picked the Bruce option which you clearly didn't!

It says Bruce TYPE.. not Bruce... maybe SuperBruce

I agree with Yze_Magic & Hird is nothing like Bruce, Hird could play as a midfielder or a forward target, even as CHF, Bruce has never played as a forward target, at least not successfully.

If there was 'Hird-like midfielder / key forward' option I'd vote for that.

Morton will never be a Hird-like key forward. In Hird's 1st season of AFL he took something like 15 marks during a game against us, and that was when marks actually meant something. Hird was a fantastic contested mark.

Morton could play a Hird-like midfield role, and push forward at times.

Morton will become a 100 goal a year kicking machine, a dual brownlow medallist, a 5-7 time Best and Fairest for the Mighty Demons. Vice-captain also.

Jacky Watts will be the only thing stopping him from winning a Coleman Medal. 120 goal + per year.

Grimes will be our most successful captain in his 10 years as captain with a 85% winning record and will have the hottest babe at the brownlow medal count for each of the ten years however it will never be the same girl ;)

3 Premierships in this 10 year period.

I got to go lie down.

Between 2004-6 Bruce was a damaging goal kicking midfielder, kicked 75 goals in 3 seasons, equal on average to what Miller kicked this year to win our goalkicking.

However you are right, the onlys time Bruce has been successful as a forward target has been against deplorable opposition.

I wouldn`t call averaging one goal per game damaging

Cam Bruce, at one goal per game, given he has played mostly midfield, down back, and run-with, most of his career is not shabby though.

Russell Robertson has played his whole career at half forward for 1.8 goals per game. Is that damaging?

Back to Morton; he has shown to be a better 18 year old than Cam was, and if he can maintain Cam Bruce possession rates throughout his career, he will be extremely damaging, match winning in fact. I hope he plays midfield/half forward.

No-one questions the obvious need for natural talent, which CM has in abundance.

Even more impressive about this kid is the way he conducts himself. He is a natural with the media and it is clear to me he is a future leader of the MFC. That is what will have him stand out from others who were taken high in the same draft.

They say, these days, footy is played 95% above the shoulders and that is what will make him a champ.

Come to think of it, that is also a great argument to have a team from Tassie enter the competition

Cale Morton is a better 18 year old than Cam Bruce.

Just thought I'd slip that in there.

yes yes yes, Morton is a better 18 year old, Bruce was still in the ammo's at 18 but Bruce has been a good player for the Demon's no matter what anyone says, this means you YM :angry:

I voted always around the pack type midfielder. I believe he has the nous required in heavy traffic as well as to run with the ball through the centre as well as the wings.

Yep, I can see him using his pace, brains and clever agility and footwork to sit just outside the pack, trying to shake his tag and receive off Beamer/Chooka/McNugget then serve it on a platter to the forwards

Their is a distinct uncanny likeness to one skinny 18 year old who burst onto the scene in 1986. A versatile player who could play wing, foward or back, and did when he put on weight. He went onto be a champion of our club, a young man who couldnt carry anything on his shoulders at the start of his career, but by the end of it, he had carried this football club across the line more than i can remember! G Lyon = C Morton.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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
