Cale Morton for Brett Meredith

Even those things look stronger than Cale.

I like this move. Didn't really strike me as a player who'd 'bought' in.

    Id trade Cale for one of those Wakey waving inflatable flailing arm tube men.

    I would too. At least these things look like they are doing something. ........................That and you can't take your eyes off them, when was the last time we could say that about Morton (if ever at all)?

    I'm not a Morton fan, he's frustrated the hell out of me for a long time. If he wants to go and we can get someone semi-decent for him I say we take it and be done with him once and for all.

    If he stay he stays, and I'll back him when he pulls on the red and blue. But I would be quite happy to see him gone.

    I don't know anything about this Meredith bloke, but from what I have read I'd be happy take him in a swap.

    Be a good pick up one of these things I reckon. Designated role would be for it stand on the mark trying to put the opposition full forward off his set shot.

    Best thing you've written. Your week break has served you well RR, I had a good chuckle. Imagine Riewoldts jitters when staring down the barrel at the waving condom.

    OK, Seeeriously....

    Jed Lamb! http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-sydney-swans--jed-lamb

    We can tidy up the finer points re balancing the ledgers.

    Very very good potential in Lamb. Remains only person to recieve the perfect score in the very difficult Buckley kicking challenge at Combine. God we could use some good picks but I think he was around pick 15 so he'd cost us 20-35 draft pick.

    pick 21.

    I'd be happy to exchange Morton for Lamb, + we give up an early 3rd Rnd Pick, or a player.

    Maybe Greeny could be tempted to keep going for another year, or 2? Or Jamie Bennell may also benefit from the mythical Swans turntable.

    Cale getting traded, Green Machine managing to actually post an image, am I dreaming?

    No point being a good kick if you are unable to get the ball in the first place!

    I want to keep Cale! There I said it. One tough pre-season. Proven running ability and it's not as though we have a plethora of run and spread players. Put him on the wing and he'll prove everybody wrong!

    I've always joked that Morton looks like those things but never knew what they were called. Love it!

    Me too. He's yet to have a clear run with injuries and I'm guessing it's shattered his confidence. Still got huge up side. Just remember his first year in particular. He was much better than recently.

    I have to chuckle at the "experts" on this place. Most of you know nothing about Meredith but are happy to get him. I live in Sydney and go to a few Swans games. He is a SPUD. Do not get him. Don't be tricked into thinking the Swans are better with drafts picks than we are because they have done so brilliantly at the Moneyball thing. They have had a lot more misses in the draft than MFC and Meredith is one of them.

    Too many on the mark. That's a certain 50m penalty.

    I still believe there's upside to Cale Morton. I have confidence that Neeld will use him better than Bailey, and Misson should be able to improve his strength and fitness. IMO he just needs a bit more time under the new regime at the MFC.

    I'm not sure we'd ultimately get the better of any trade involving Cale at this point in time.

    That sums it up. If all we are getting in return for him is a bag of manure, then there's no point. If he has a rubbish 2013 then he can be delisted, but if he turns it around he could be a useful player or trade chip for us in the future. This trade does nothing for us.

    This is not about me making up my mind. It's about Morton's trade value being so low that there's no point trading him. We'd be better off delisting him next year and not clogging our list with the slop we get in return for him if this thread is any indication of our return.

    I don't like blanket statements so a great deal of what is written in here about Cale is BS.

    He provides something we lack - namely outside run and uncontested possessions.

    He needs to improve other areas of his game as his physicality can be deplorable and his intensity at the contest can be just as bad.

    Unless we get some outside run back, I would persevere with him.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
