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.

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.

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?

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

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

"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.

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.

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

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
