Think of Cale Morton's finest years of footy - what type of player will he be?

    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

    Just thought I'd slip that in there.

    I'd go along with that too.

    I vote versatile utility, and hopefully a classy one when his kicking improves.

    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.

    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

    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:

    he wants to be KPP so when he puts on weight who knows :o

    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.

    I must say I expected more to agree with High Tower and myself - can't wait for time to show us what the real result is!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
