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.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
