Leave RF out of this discussion.....HE WAS SIMPLY A FREAK ! Cale, as a versatile player with a touch of class, needs to bulk up a bit to improve his competitiveness.....and that includes for a guaranteed spot in the side !

I meant no comparison between Cale and Robbie on talent. Merely that if this kind of forum was alive in Robbies day he would have copped the same in regard to physique

I don't care how skinny Cale is, as long as he's not pushed easily off the ball, do not fear the boy has talent and some of the "skinny" players are b;oody tough

    And so it begins. The endless list of ridiculous injuries that seem to plague our best players year in year out.

    Brilliant.

    Is Morton one of our "best" at present? He is one of our greatest long-term prospects mayhaps...

    He has been bloody unlucky with injury the last couple of seasons. Will miss a MAXIMUM first 2 rounds of the season proper.

    This has been a bad day so far.....Get well soon Cale. We need you.

    Agree with this statement,although Scully's management coming out to say he hasn't signed and they haven't even talked to GWS ,I say is great news.And Morton can still run. do weights etc..and EAT...this may even make him bigger and stronger..

    Looking on the bright side he can still keep up his running fitness unlike last year.

    Breathe in, breathe out. This is an annoying setback; it's not a great calamity.

    Thanks Yoda. I'll make sure to consult you next time I want to express an emotion so you can confirm whether or not it is acceptable.

    not a disaster.

    Season started in like 7 weeks, he should almost be ready round 1.

    He will still be able to run. He'll also be able to do ball handling kills once they put something on his finger to protect it

    Injured his ring finger. Far out. That's a crap way to be ruled out.

    That sucks. Still, it's something that lets him run and do weight work. He just can't play with a football.

    He won't be doing any weights in the next few weeks. His finger will need to be immobilized after the operation.

    Jeez. Already some big names coming out of the side and the season hasn't even started yet. At least he's done the bulk of the preseason and can still run. And he won't miss more than 1 or 2 real games.

    Midfield/wing rotations will be interesting now.

    Well then... blokes like Blease and "Noddy" (Gysberts) now have the opportunity to play some senior footy by filling the void!! :)

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
