He made some mistakes. Let me ask you this. Would you rather he didn't get the ball so he didn't make a mistake or would you rather he work hard and learn the new system and make mistakes in the process?

The difference between the 2 teams tonight was kicking skills and playing to a well drilled game plan. Our endeavor, and Cale's, was good but we dont have the natural game down yet.

What a weak excuse of a player, I have thought it and said it before but seriously his ability to shirk contests went to a all time high tonight.

He should be told tonight that unless he drastically changes he will never play for MFC again.

And this is not even going on about his terrible disposal.

Cale's biggest problem is he fears being hurt, he needs to work on this or he will always referred to or remembered as a coward.

Let's all just calm down.

He made some poor decisions but he tries hard to get uncontested footy - while more capable and more experienced players are happy to stay in their shell and not risk getting lambasted the way Morton is when he screws up.

He is far better this year than last.

There are a couple of players that fear being hurt on our list, yet Neeld will find a niche for all of them.

At least Morton ran hard - at times, it wasn't his fault as everything was stagnant ahead of him.

Ha! I've done my best to change my mind on this guy this year, but he keeps putting up games like today...

Ohhhhh but he's an "elite runner", and "outside player" with "silky skills"..... No. He's not ANYTHING.

See ya Morts.

The amount of times he shirked contests, did not go into a contest or shat himself and fumbled cos people were near him was over the top. He either gets harder ie Thomas at the pies who was soft, or we trade him, but his efforts in close when he had to go were simply inexcusable

I cant believe what some people are posting about Morton. He is one of the few that have improved this year.

Some of his turnovers are terrible however what were his choices? If our players were running to position he would not need to attempt pin point passes on his left.

He will be a very valuable player for us as we improve over the next couple of years.

Surely you would be used to the stupidity by now haha, if we lose Morton has to cop a spray from the supporters

He took the game on, and even broke tackles despite being built like an anorexic 12 year old (side note: where was the spray for the filth player/s that let that happen Buckley? will be tarred and feathered at training tomorrow no doubt)

given that his disposal was genuinely terrible at times today, why exactly would you not go on about that as opposed to having a crack at an area in which he has vastly improved?

Good point. Cale could be a Dale Thomas type. But does he have the ticker??

Dale Thomas is a class act.

I love these threads. Watch someone else start a "we love Morton" thread in 3 weeks time.

His clangers are infuriating. And so are everyone else's turnovers.

He was wonderful in the first quarter. He did a few crappy things as the game wore on, but he was one of the only players who actually did anything in the first quarter when everyone else couldn't buy a touch.

What a disgraceful excuse for an OP. Why don't you pay out Moloney for his effort, or Sylvia for his meaningless shirtfront before you go to town on a young guy who was (by and large) one of our hardest-working and valuable players today?

Good old Strawberry Fields :lol:

Morton's is having the best year he's ever had, so he made a mistake, he ain't the only one.

Why are all the Morton lovers defending his "one mistake" like that's why some people thought he had a bad game?

I think he was pretty ordinary overall, not just the turnovers. He's too much of a spectator, and doesn't add anything to our team.

He's soft as they come, so people say he's an elite runner. He doesn't win his own ball, so people say he's an outside player.

He has made small steps of improvement this year, but IMO, so far not enough to be kept on.

Should be dropped just like Watts, Green, Davey, Sylvia etc have when not playing well. Same rules for every player.

I don't drink, so perhaps you're the one who's mistaken.

But this is quite literally the worst and most insulting thread I've ever read. The mere fact that heaps of people are blindly backing it up with the age-old "Morton's soft and carn't kick" line is absolutely shameful. If Cale gets dropped for this performance, I might just shoot something and/or go barrack for GW$ or something equally nuts.

I'm a person of extremes but for the first time ever I think I'll sit on the fence on this one. There are a number of really frustrating aspects to morts such as the fact he is a no 3 draft pick who hasn't done a lot in 5 years,his disposal is poor,he's soft and he makes awful clangers. However in saying all that he has improved this year and shown signs that he will perhaps become the outside runner we so greatly need. I don't know. Maybe he gets the rest of this year in the seniors and then re-evaluate???

Posted

And a big congratulations to all who "cheered" him off the ground after it.

I didn't know we had so many high-school twats in the MCC. Did you guys rush to your phones and type "SPUD" into your Facebook status?

Give me a spell ...

Why? Deserves to get dropped. Not delisted as some are suggesting (yet anyway), but same rules for everyone, drop him to find form and confidence.

Because his errors stem from nerves and lapses in concentration. Lowering the pressure level by putting him in the VFL is counterproductive to our goal of developing our players and would show a clear lack of trust and faith in Morton's abilities, which is the last thing he needs right now.

Why would we get rid of morton? I don't see cohorts of a-grade mid's challenging him for his spot. Better morton than bennel's usual 3 possession contribution or bate's oil tanker mobility.

No leave him in the 1st's...its plainly good enough to play some 'good" footy as that will whitewash all the rubbish and insipid efforts let alone the unforgivable clangers. Some mistakes will happen.. but some are just too atrocious to be overlooked and rewarded with demotion.

If he is indeed EVER going to become what some hope then tough love is needed, and not for the first time.. Do we all remember his medicine when he squibbed ?

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
