It doesn't help him.

He needs to have a huge PS and this won't help.

According to an article on AFL.com:

He will undergo surgery on the shoulder this week and is expected to be ready for the start of pre-season.

Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney revealed on melbournefc.com.au that Morton had been managing a shoulder injury for the past few months.

"Unfortunately, Cale had another episode on the weekend, which has caused further damage," Mahoney said.

So maybe he was going to be safe anyway.

Thanks for that. You should put that in a Hero-gram or whatever they are called...

I would suggest that people who thought Cale was subbed for playing poorly are ignorant and possib;y go to the football with no idea what's going on. There was a murmur when he went of and thankfully

This:

I did not jeer. And i wasn't aware that morton was injured. I thought everyone was jeering simply because Morton was subbed out of the game fairly early in the game, which I thought was pretty funny. Those that didn't hear the jeers, probably saw the injury, and for those that heard the jeers (like me) they probably didn't see the injury.

sounds very much like backpedalling, when one goes in with this:

I was there and people did jeer but I didn't really mind it to be honest. I know it's not the right thing to do and I didn't jeer myself but Morton doesn't deserve to be pulling on the melbourne jumper and he should be delisted at the end of the year. If a simple jeer gets through to the melbourne footy club that we don't appreciate them botching up our draft picks then so be it. He is our whipping boy for a reason!

and everybody reacts like most normal people would.

Just confirms what I think was already pretty obvious (that he'd be at the club next year).

Some of our supporters really make me question humanity.

FFS, injured or not, any player who goes out there and risks their well being to represent our club, deserves a level of respect.

If we are happy to see our own fail, then we are a pathetic bunch and don't deserve success.

If I even bothered to go to the footy at the moment i would jeer Morton, just as i would jeer any player who fails to understand the fundamentals of the game. The sad thing is he'll still be playing his insipid brand of football for us in 5 years time. DELIST NOW TO AVOiD FURTHER PAIN

Well there's plenty of posters outing themselves as d/heads in this thread. Obviously they weren't told by mummy: "if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all..."

The lazy [censored] should've at least taught them "it is better to have others think of you as a fool than air your opinions & remove all doubt."

Geeez let's all get off our high horses. Never booed a injured Melbourne player and never will but all Freak did was share an honest opinion. FWIW I wish Cale all the best at another club.

No. He showed really poor taste for all the reasons that many other posters have brought up in this thread.

FWIW Cale is contracted in '13 and, given his shoulder injury, is unlikely to be sought after during trade time

Well, that would be a lovely sentiment...

...had Cale signed with another club.

The guy will be a Demon in 2013.

Well Freak you certainly covered yourself in glory son didn't you....

Yes wyl

He has.

Must be me but Demonland is depressing the crap out of me tonight.

Being negative is natural in our current position

But the vitriol from some people leaves me in dismay.

Tomorrow I hope will be better.

Goodnight.

I will just have to keep my opinions to myself, at least for now.

What do we do with this kid now?

Im not bashing him, I just dont actually know what the club will / can do.

He is injured, had another stinker of a year but is contracted for another year.

Do we leave him to rot at casey or do we seek a trade?

Or could he get on the juice, get massive and start smashing blokes?

Like they do at Vic Markets. When you buy tomatoes they throw in a coupla dodgy ones that you don't discover till you get home.

We can package Cale up with Sylvia and Davey. Maybe they won't notice.

here's hoping.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
