I know peoples opinions are deeply divided on young Cale.

He put contract talks on hold until the season was over.

What are peoples thoughts on if he will re-sign or move elsewhere?

Could he be the GWS fallback option???

    He'll be re-signed in due course IMO. Needs a new coach more than any player on our list.

    Agreed.

    Needs and actual role.

    Re-signed for sure.

    Still very much a required player with much upside and i think a new coach will do him the world of good.

    Cale has absolutely no currency on the trade market, the question is whether he has more up side than the third/fourth/fifth round draft pick (depending on how many we delisted).

    As much as he frustrated me and you demonlanders, I think we may be better off keeping him. He may end up as another Sylvia "AFL's biggest under-achievers" but at worst we can have a perpetual scapegoat.

    I would love to see him resign. I'm still a big wrap for him. He is one of many that has had a really bad run with injury and if he can get some consistency and confidence I think he can live up to the lofty expectations we have all placed on him.

    A new coach.

    A big pre-season in the gym.

    Renewed confidence.

    = the Andrew Embley style star.

    Agreed.

    I see him as a lead up forward in the Matty Richardson mould.

    Has the engine for the current game style of pressing up the wing.

    He will run his opponent into the ground and is surprisingly good overhead.

    Just needs to stack on a few more kilo's over the summer.

    I think that the fact, that he isn't signed already, means he's on thin ice, and we're probably waiting to see IF any offers are floated about, to way up?

    I wasn't quite sure how I felt about Cale Morton until I saw this post. Perfect summary, matter of fact, no drama. Nice work Nasher.

    I reckon he's on track to be All Australian.

    Great call. I haven't given up on Cale but then again I'm a happy clapper.

    Anyone think we just should've gone a Selwood before Maric?

    Seriously, this draft is full of some flakes. All been hit and miss in some way or another. May as well give him another couple of years.

    (The top 2, Harry Taylor, Grimes and obviously Cyril are of course excluded from the above. Cyril does not belong in this draft!)

    He is gone! Get him out of here....

    Trade him to GWS for one of there 17 year olds.

    Some serious talent there, all chronically injured. Could certainly still turn out a super-draft yet.

    100% agree. A new coach who takes a different approach and gives him a clear idea of what he has to do in the team will work wonders for him. It would help if he knew what position they want him to play too.

    I do hope so but even with a new coach I think it will be 2 years at least until the best is seen of Morts.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
