Forget Scully going there, Morton will go. Honestley his body language the last few weeks clearly states his heart isnt with the red and blue ( another Cam Bruce) plus stupid turnovers aswell. Spewin we didnt get Cyril Rioli we would be leathal!!!

 

Honestly not too worried about losing Morton. He has seemingly not gotten over the issues relating to him bulking up at all, and I'm beginning to think he never will, and he just is not coming on at all (going backwards even). As long as we get sufficiently compensated and manage that compensation correctly, it could prove to be an absolute winner for us.

Agreed. i said since day dot that he was never going to get big enough and i guess I'm right again

One could also say Dangerfield. But TBH, he is so overrated. He only plays one good game every eight, and he gets most of his possies when the game is well no longer a contest. Would still prefer him over Morton though.

cann't believe the fall from grace with morton. i remember him being talked up as a serious superstar for us when he was drafted.. amazing change

You wanted Palmer.

The way you paraded yourself around as a star recruiter when Palmer won the rising star was embarrassing.

How is Palmer going now?

haha i remember that aswell UTAH making yourself look like bit of a tool now freak..

Masten, Morton, Palmer, Myers - how the hell did that WA team win anything. You'd think it would be one turn over after another.

If only we tanked better and got Cotchin! Although then we'd miss out on the fun of Jordie McKenzie doing a great job on him.

By the way, I know Sheeds is in charge, but GWS won't just take anyone!

I think the increased speed of the game is killing Morton. He's never had to execute under pressure before and it's killing his skills. The rest of his game is fixed pretty easily with a bit of work with his attitude, but his skills are shocking.

 

He's still very young, has plenty of talent, has some elite attributes, and was drafted as a long term project considering how skinny and undersized he was at 18.

People on demonland will write him off.... of coarse... just like they wrote off Watts and Frawley and Garland early in their careers.

Sometimes 194cm+ players take some time! patience is required

"Fall from grace"?

Is that what you call it?

I thought it was just a bunch of hacks sitting in their homes typing furiously about him on a fan forum because they no longer have Cam Bruce to complain about. I know he's struggling a bit right now, but all indications are that the club still see him as a promising player with a clear place in the future premiership tilt.


wasn't just a bunch of hacks but recruiters, the media and afl professions thought h was the next big thing. well if thats the case then he needs to harden the [censored] up get his mind right and start getting his mentality fixed coz atm i wouldn't stressed if we got rid of him

Morton is going tobe a great player, he's going to take more time though.

Mail is that he's gone.... He signed a HOA last year, with GWS. Morton is GONE!! :o

I wouldn't be so quick to discard Morton. I've still got some faith that he can turn into a very good player at the club.

Deja Vu!


Needs a suntan too

Good post. Yes there are hundreds of 194cm players who can run quickly and play anywhere from BP down to FP. Given time he will fill out more and may be a key position player who with his speed and mobility can cause headaches for the opposition. On the other hand he could be a tall quick HFF who is also hard to man up on. Too many are too quick to write him off. He made some clangers yesterday but coming on in a pressure situation late in a game can lead to that. Cut him some slack people, these guys aren't machines.

Another ridiculous rumour.

Body language load of rubbish

Fortunately for you there are guidelines which limit the words that can be used that can reply to this.

I do not like your post and many of your other posts. Your posts are poor.

HOA = heads of agreement, who is the other head, Tom?

Cale Morton needs to be played Forward of the centre.

He is NOT a Defender, that is obvious....He isn't gone yet, but he will have to find his place in the side really quick, Because our Newbies are grabbing their chances very smartly.

FIRE UP CALE......again.

As I see it also.

One of his main attributes is his tank and IMO making him sub was a mistake; he didn't really have time to warm up and there's no point in have and endurance athlete entered in a sprint.

Contested footy isnt part of Cales natural game, but I've seen signs of improvement in this area.

I like him, but he reminds me of Cam Bruce, and the team can only accommodate one CB at a time.

Wish he would prove me wrong though.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
