    That will stop Scott Clayton calling him. Good stuff Cale. I thought maybe 3 years, does 2 years bother anyone?

    Not as much as one year would have. You might offer longer contracts to entice a player to move clubs, but two years is pretty much the norm.

    Well done MFC!

    Who else should we be getting to sign on a dotted line for an extension?

    That's great news! :D

    Cale Morton is one of the best young players at the club in my lifetime, and with further development he could become a very versatile, and very dangerous player. His height and aerobic capacity make him a potential match up nightmare through the middle of the ground. He's also showed he has a good kick on him and can bob up and kick a small bag when needed. I see him becoming an attacking wingman, a goal scoring midfielder, which IMO is one of the key things we lack. Apart from Sylvia, nobody really chimes in regularly the way Travis, Yze etc used to.

    Cale still has alot of development left in him both physically and with his game, but I'm pretty happy with where he is at as a 19 year old 2nd year player. Hopefully he continues along and is a key part of our next flag tilt.

    This is great news, though Cale could be an awesome player in 2 years time and we might have to work a lot harder to keep him.

    Good stuff lad.

    2 years.....bit scared with that.

    West Sydney. Lets hope the team is performing in 2 years time.

    We will be paying quite a large sum for his services when this contract is up.

    GOOOD BOY THOUGH :wub:

    'For it to turn out that smoothly and that quickly was great news. I never wanted to have the negotiation drawn out. I wanted my loyalty towards Melbourne to come out in the negotiation and it certainly did' :D

    'I had no offers from any other club, besides reading some speculation in a newspaper, but I wasn't going to let anything get in the way, as it was between Melbourne and me' :D

    Great Work Deez!

    3 year contracts at most clubs would just about be a thing of the past for most clubs i'd imagine.

    great start, i would have thought it might have been 3 years but to know that hes commited to the club is a great sign going forward

  • Quote

    Great news, love Morts, with a bit of bulk and another season under his belt his versatility will be a weapon in this side.

    Looking forward to more signings as this season draws to a close.

    Go Dees!

    It bothers me a little bit HT, but at least he's signed on. I would have preferred 3 or 4, but over the next two years, hopefully he'll prove to the club that he's worth a four year deal.

    Onya Cale! I`m Not concerned with 2 years at all. Every 21 year old in the country will want to be playing in our team in 2 years time. He`ll sign up for 3 or 4 after this contract!

    If you were Cale Morton's manager, why would you push for a 3 or 4 year deal at this stage? At the end of two years he'll be hitting his straps completely and will be worth way more than he currently is, so Cale (and therefore the manager) will be much better off. IMO 2 years makes business sense for both parties.

    Very happy and the Kid would only want a 2 year so when he improves over the next 2 we have to pay him more.

    Exactly what I thought.

    I completely understand why it's only a two year deal, but I would have liked it to be more.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
