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.

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!

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.

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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    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
