FAREWELL CALE MORTON

[Supermercado 2,802]

Congrats to CiP for breaking the story from inside Wagamamas.

[Pipefitter 2,225]

A pick 4 turns into a pick 88. Thanks for nothing cale.

It's very clear to me now what Neeld is doing.

He wants hard strong bodied midfielders that train hard and are hard to play against.

If you dont have a big body then you better be quick , a great runner or very skilled.

The plan also needs big bodied forwards and some clever crumbers.

It's pretty clear to me now.

Morton and Gysberts didn't fit into this. Apparently Gysberts application preseason was dismal, and Morton will always be beaten by a strong body.

Keep the faith.

Morton for Rodan. Unbelievable...

Someone teach Harrington some negotiation skills.

That's a good deal!

88 is akin to delisting him. The only upside being a vacant spot on the list.

Upgrade a pick!

Says more about Morton than Harrington.

This si the thing that worries me the most - are we behind the 8-ball again? I want our coach to be innovative not just copy something that worked for someone else 3 seasons ago. In 2012 3 of the top 4 teams played a highly skilled kicking game slicing through the zone/press with short accurate kicks. Kicking long to the boundary was made redundant and is too easy to defend against.

I have doubts also, but I am keeping the faith and certainly won't dismiss this approach until I've seen it. I'd much rather play like Geelong to be honest - there is no way to beat them in full flight, gameplans and all.

That Kick against The Filth stamped his papers. He could no longer be trusted by coaches or players.

Neeld wanted him out obviously.

we have lost the plot...

1) He was contracted so we couldn't just delist him.

2) We want extra spots on the list.

3) He obviously wants out and wants to go home to WA.

4) We have to have "something" in the trade paperwork for Ken Wood to sign off otherwise the AFL won't approve the trade.

If we could have we probably would have just delisted him.

Pick 88 must be more to it than that.

[Carrot Top 947]

Odd hoax, this one.

Maybe we need a hoax about Cotchin coming over to us.

[Slartibartfast 18,072]

Good to see some support for Cale after all this time.

[Jonesbag 487]

Hes gone now, lets move on. I expect demonland to become a lot quieter now

[Sir Why You Little 37,347]

Mark Neeld, the Coach wanted Gysberts & Morton out, at whatever cost. It's obvious.

Get over it guys.

Why was post deleted ?

[picket fence 18,081]

Just came on trade radio Morton for pick 88 according to that source!

[Slartibartfast 18,072]

Why was post deleted ?

Because it was offensive.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

If we end up keeping guys like Bate after we threw away Morton for nothing and Gyberts for not much more, I'll spew.

I was starting to warm to Neeld...

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I would just like to thank Cale for the entertainment he provided.

[Face Your Demons 175]

Someone just posted this of Facebook. Oh it's nice to be loved. We fleeced West Coast! I'd have accepted 2 maccas fries found in the gutter

One step at a time Jaded...deep breath.

[The Reverend 1,736]

Lets put all of our talented, underperforming players into the too hard basket and ship them off to other clubs for trinkets and baubles.

Lets not put any work into developing any young players on our list, even though most of them have shown plenty of ability at one time or another.

Lets bring in a bunch of Z-graders to ensure that we are competitive next year and that Neeld keeps his job. God forbid we might have another 4-18 season next year, but actually do something to move us closer to a premiership.

Let's just be negative at every turn. These guys have had their chance. They have held back the development of the team and now it's time to start afresh.

Go Dees!

Confirmation Morton will join the Eagles. Relationship with Neeld was beyond repair. WC confident he can play decent footy.

Could not agree more - absolutely pathetic trades - pick 88 FFS !

And let's remember - Pederson played 2 games this year - 2 GAMES ! And we let Rivers walk ... plot lost !

[H_T 3,049]

Well done to snapparrazi CIP, who postponed a punt on the Geelong Cup to take the pic of Morton.

Jay Clark owes him a night out on the town.
