    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
