FAREWELL CALE MORTON

[Chook in Perth 2,109]

I object to the troll call. I took a legit photo, put it on twitter and let others make up rubbish about it. I asked Jay Clark that as a serious question.

If that's trolling count me out.

[Demon Forever 219]

I don't belong to twitter.

What did the tweet say that you posted. Is that the terminology?

Must have been very effective?

If you wrote something on the tweet that outlined this farce then yes it's trolling. If not then move on and enjoy.

In fact move on and enjoy anyway. Love to see what will come of this and how far the media take it.

how do we know CIP's photo is the only thing behind this 'story'???

[P-man 13,366]

You obviously didn't read the punch article about how trolling should no longer be a dirty word. :D

Whatever the case, you put the wheels in motion. I say bravo.

That's what I'm querying

Haha jay Clark you 2 bit hack just goes to show anyone could do his job

Epic thread

[baysidedave 246]

My brother flew to Thailand today via Perth and told me that Cale Morton was on his flight. You story does check out...!

I thought nothing of it until a guy my mate follows on Twitter, posted a photo of Morton 200ms from Eagles HQ.

He heard him on the phone saying "It went well, I guess. We'll see what happens."

if it goes well then we have to get something decent in return, he was a no. 4 pick even though he was spineless.

Don't count on that 3rd rounders is all Weagles likely to cough up.

Folks you have to quit with the " he was ab4 pick" etc. it's like buying a car , drops value the second you've picked them. It's all relative. A market value is resultant upon what anyone wants to pay, whether that's housing, cars or even footy players.

Be nice to get their 41 but doubt they'll cough that.

I seriously think many teams just have to realise that with so many teams, so many compo picks that they just need to adjust. Of course o one really wants to do that , they know it, just want the others to, not themselves lol

What's the point if it's pick 61 in return? If we are going to do it, I'd rather a pick upgrade, though if the incoming pick was used on Pedersen then they can jam the whole thing.

[Guest José Mourinho]

I understand the circumstances surrounding this, but the fact he is actually there makes you ponder a potential trade...

But why would MFC trade for picks 61 or 62, neither of which we'd be likely to use?

Bunkum.

This is comical and in spite of your posts, it continues to grow legs.

I suppose a lot of posters have you on ignore, or cant read

Traits of a Herald Sun 'journalist'

[Jonesbag 487]

The journalists at the Herald Sun are hard working people that write articles based on facts and that are supported by evidence.

Said no one ever

[whelan45 203]

With a quick google search I managed to find your twitter feed and the original post. You were having a laugh with some mates before and after about whether dud journalists would pick this up and run with it. Absolute pisser that they have and that they clearly didn't do a basic search like I did and see your whole plan to suck them in. Even funnier that its Jay Clark! Classic! Well played sir

[DeeZee 7,395]

Does anyone else want to see Morton have an uninterrupted run at a Misson preseason? He is just 22.

i agree with this is is still very young and was injured this year.

Ive seen him play some pretty good games and rack up the numbers.

[Roger Mellie 4,025]

Is there scope for a poll?

Who is WCE most likely to pick up:

i) Fev

ii) Cale Morton

I saw him sharing a banana smoothie with Elvis at Maccas

if you would have said hollowed out white loaf with peanut butter and bacon I think I might have believed you.

'Trolling' gets thrown around more than 'Moneyball' lately...

I think you 'trolled' Clark, or HUN journalism in general, into writing an article based purely on your tweet.

But that would be the only way.

And what crap did he add to that story.

Pick 61?

Journos, and you hear this quite a bit on TWR, engage in Draft Pick Porn and constantly measure players in pick ranges.

Wallace: 'He's more of a Pick 45-50. No more than that.'

Barrett: 'So, Pick 54 get it done?'

Wallace: 'I would think so.'

Barrett: 'There you have it. The List Manager will be back with a scientific analysis of a couple clubs he had a look at on Footywire this morning. You are listening to TWR. And you are bashing your head against your desk...'

[Grimseyisgod 378]

Well we have 2 days left of trade periodd...

we will see where Cale ends up.

Honestly we are looking at getting pick 61 or 62, who even cares.

Keep Cale, hopefully he ends up coming in handy

[Grimseyisgod 378]

i agree.

we have also seen him play some TAC cup standard games.

[DeeZee 7,395]

This can happen when a player is young and developing or overcoming injury

[buck_nekkid 5,861]

This is the best thing to happen in the trade period. Hats off for selling them a furphy! They can say what they like, but Ka Ching! You took them for a ride. Ha haha.

[beelzebub 23,376]

even funnier if it ended up happening..lol

[Maldonboy38 6,403]

Can't say I am unhappy to see Morton looking for opportunity elsewhere. I am one who thought he had all the qualities of being an exceptional player, but he has worn out any kudos he might have earnt through lack of application. He goes down n history as another naturally gifted player who couldn't make the leap from being a great junior into a consistent AFL performer.

However, MFC's dysfunctional player development over the past decade probably contributed.
