Wow...

Morton busy, McLean strong...

Dees smashing them in the stats and two weeks in a row kicking straight as a die at goal.

only 3 points in it...

MFC 9.2 56

FFC 8.5 53

I think that's because everyone's at the game....!

24 possies to Morton, not too shabby.

Molony and Mclean ball magnets as well.

MORTON MAGIC

This kid is fantastic.

Midfield playing really well and good to see BATE kick 3 at half time

Morton is unbelievable!

Anyone who says he can't kick should get their eyes checked.

I don't want to get carried away by one half of football but there was some fantastic play there by the Demons who have definitely shaken the Doggies...and Cale Morton is a budding superstar.

Pity we can't get more supporters down to see them play.

OMG thankyou. I keep reading on the CALE MORTON thread people saying he is a bad kick but he is a great kick and has fantastic composure.

This kid is still so young and he is getting so much of the ball.

Sorry im very biased with cale, But he is such a tallent.

the struggles of our half forward/forward line reared it's ugly head that quarter, looks to me from my vantage position that we've only got 1 or 2 people up there???

4 to Bate?

Cant ask for anymore from our players. We didnt win (which i was not unhappy about, shh) and a lot of our young players did well.

The ONLY negative for the match was petterd. 7 touches and 1 goal it pretty poor.

Yeah... but he kicked the clutch goal that Miller and Sylvia (and Robbo) couldn't!

Big deal. What good is that when you hardly touch the ball.

If Petterd played in our back half, he would have picked up 20+ touches. Much harder getting a sniff in our forward line.

He is playing as a forward so that means nothing. He was poor.

You were the one who gave us his stats, so it obviously does mean something.

When you are playing a fair bit as a 4th option forward, you will have games where you won't see much of the ball.

My point is, if he had of played off the half back, like he has before, he could have easily picked up 20 touches, and then you would not have mentioned him.

You dont get it. I was saying he is playing in the forward line, so you telling me he would get more disposals in the backline means nothing beucause he is playing in the forward line.

you can only base him on his performance. I like petterd but can admit when he is not playing that well.

I can see your point but he is not needed in the backline.

Hope he does better next week.

Cheney had another solid game. His attack on the ball a number of times set up thrusts forward. He's worth another next week. Another thing I realised is he's quite tall. I remembered him being around Peter Walsh's height, but maybe I was just blinded by the comparisons the first few times I watched him. When he stood next to Johnson, he was comfortably taller than him.

Johnson is smaller than what you would think. Cheney is only just 6 ft. 184 cm.

Your right Mr Morton.......

But the truth is that playing out of our forward line can be very difficult at times (delivery can be very suspect very frequently, despite the excellent intent), and therefore if you are judging a player simply on possessions then it is way harder to get these when up forward than it would have been if playing in the back half. He wasn't terrible either, just not as good as we have seen. He'll be better.

All round media here.

Petterd is not a forward. As a result, he isn't having as big an influence on games as I think he could be having. He should be played up the ground. But since Bailey seems to want to play him there, then we have to judge him on his work as a forward, which hasn't been that good. I'd prefer it not to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the team next week.
