2nd best on ground. Haters gonna hate. Bad turnover though.

If he keeps doing it-I'm gonna keep hating it.

It's not personal-it just my stupid pride.

I dont hate the guy .

Funny thing is I can almost tell when he is going to make a massive ,momentum turning ,monumental ,putrid ,stinking ,basic error .

I can see him thinking.

So can the oppposition-and they like the way he thinks .

 

Terrible turnover, terrible player. He might find some more ball in the middle but he plays without pride for himself or for the jumper.

Grimes, Clark, McKenzie, McDonald even Frawley and definitely Howe were better.


Probably said Take right hand lane of freeway at cranbourne training at Casey

And so, Demonland was split in two: the haters, and the people who dig Cale Morton.

I don't hate Cale Morton. But he is just not going to make it. How many opportunities can one man be given??
 

Cale Morton ran off the ground and supporters around me were cheering. FFS imagine running off with 30,000 people heckling you, then having the coach yell at you.

You would want to bury yourself!

He obviously did not turn the ball over on purpose, and as annoyed as we and Neeld were, I bet nobody was angrier or felt worse than Morton.

Give him a break FFS. If Neeld was so furious he would have subbed him off. End of story.

Na me either mate, just pointing out the ridiculousness of the argument.

Its not ridiculous. If the team is to make top 4 those efforts are not acceptable.

Its not the first time Cale hs turned over the ball.

Woah. Chook's credibility just shot to 0.

not at all.

I Gave him 5 votes today too. had a couple of clangers, as did ebveryone. but the intensity and effort were the best he has produced all year

Here here Jaded. Nobody anyone's opinion on Cale Morton, it was disgraceful to hear MFC fans collectively booing a player wearing the red and blue jumper as they ran off the ground. The turnover was terrible as he had options on the boundary, but the booing IMO was not on.

What I would do if the coach gave me a spray as I came off....... I would look him in the eye, nod my head, and take it like a man.

Cale Morton is done.

Maybe the supporters have had enough of pathetic turn overs that happened right in front of where i was sitting. He had options. It completely blew the momentum we had clawed back.

Sorry i cannot excuse it as others on here can.

Clearly I was a little overzealous in my initial comment. This is a silly thread, so my post's not out of place, but I refer you to my Demonland Player of the Year votes, where I gave Cale 2 votes. After a little more consideration of the game, I realized that there were a few others who were better than him.

Also, when I said 2nd best on ground, I meant for Melbourne. It goes without saying that I couldn't give a rats who was good for Collingwood.

PS is anyone else having a little trouble posting today? This site's lagging a little, and it caused me to accidentally triple post a while back. I'm on firefox, if it matters.

Butchers the ball far too often when under the pressure and more often than not when there is no pressure, like today. He's not just a coach killer , he's potentially career killer some of team mates. Today's clanger took all the steam out of the momentum that was building I dread it when the ball is in his vicinity on the field as he is talented enough to find the ball which a lot on this forum get excited about but what happens from there on is a real lottery. A lottery isn't the thing you want when a team is developing a system and building trust. If there was a Brownlow equivalent for clangers, Cale would be crowned Clanger King

Cales mistakes today were elementary stuff and at critical times.

I will be suprised if he is playing for the MFC next year.

His turn overs happen too often. Good players just don't do it.

Not our worst player today. There's definitely potential there. just needs to clean up the turnovers and he'll be a good player.

Trouble is, turnovers cost, and his one consistency is that he does regular turnovers.

Can he / Neeld turn it around? 5 years on the list (?4) and hasn't progressed in this vital KPI.


I rewound it twice and Neeld said,"Cale, kick it long down the f**king line"

No big deal.

The thing is he runs hard and into space which is half the battle, we got flogged in the first term largely due to not having players in space and in turn time to use the ball, Cale offers this. His kicking is definite worry but i hold out that he will turn it around, people saying delist after 4 years he is only 22.....and we arnt great at providing options this is the most frustrating part of our game. See endless number of Collingwood players leading hard, sprinting ect for an option we never ever have that, Collinwood played with so much space it wasnt funny

I was also a bit embarrassed by the toxic reception that Morton received. To me, he looks like the polar opposite of Jack Watts in that JW always looks as if he knows exactly what to do (even when it's about to go pear-shaped!) whereas Cale almost always looks as though he's terminally confused about what he should do. This wouldn't be helped by 5 years of criticism from the likes of us - me, very much included.

I think he might still turn into a pretty good player if he ever manages to get some self- confidence. Also, I would also probably include him in my Top 6 today in spite of that horrible turnover.

 

What I would do if the coach gave me a spray as I came off....... I would look him in the eye, nod my head, and take it like a man.

Good on you.

Ever played AFL at the highest level and been booed by 30,000 of your own fans?

[censored] off with this hero behaviour. You have no idea what you would do in that situation.

I bet you'd want to run away.

At the end of the day we lost because we lost the plot in the first quarter and there was no coming back from that. It was not Morton's fault, just as nobody here is blaming Green for missing goals, or Sellar giving away a free for holding, or Jamar handballing into the hands of his opponent.

It was one horrible turnover, and Morton more than payed for it.

Terrible turnover, terrible player. He might find some more ball in the middle but he plays without pride for himself or for the jumper.

Bollocks, absolute bollocks. Terrible turnover but to say he plays without pride form himself or the jumper is rubbish. I thought he played ok today and to stand up later in the game to save a certain goal shows his pride.

Generally hate the phrase key board warrior but applies to the above quote.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
