FAREWELL CALE MORTON

Featured Replies

I think CIP was referring to his other MFC mates on twitter, ie the MFC crew. Not the official MFC.

Ok thanks, makes sense

 

I'm still wondering about the role of the MFC twitter crew in all of this (i have no idea about twiter by the way and tbh have no plan to).

I would find it curious that anyone connected to the club in any formalish capacity (assimeing MFC TC are cconnected to the club) would be a party to spreading false rumors about a contracted player. Unless of course they have an agenda, in which case that would be pretty grubby

Its not the club. I assume its his mates

MFC as in MFC supporters.

Like the "MFC crew" on Bigfooty.

Morton is back in Melbourne, continuing modified training program (shoulder). Flew to Perth and back in a day yesterday to meet Eagles.

Can someone please ring in to Harford on SEN to debunk this coddswallop?


Who flies Perth-Melbourne return in one day by choice, particularly when you have family in Perth? Clarky needs to put his thinking cap on.

Haha! The Media are doing themselves damage today.

SEN obviously breathes through these club boards..

Fabulous stuff..

 

I'll definitely get a chuckle out of all this if it turns out to be true.

I don't know about that. Have heard somethings to the contrary

well i have heard the contrary to your contrary..? but anyway, i guess we all hear different things from different people. One's that i know suggest he is well liked..


Is it possible the op inadvertently stumbled upon what was actually happening ? Lol

The mass exit continues. Green, Jurrah, Rivers, Molloney and now Morton

glad to see the list turnover but why didn't we go after Koby Stevens then? #caughtwithpantsdownagain

Don't see much value in chasing an inexperienced bloke with 11 games under his belt when we're struggling with a lack of experience

Can someone twitter that Mitch Clark has quit the MFC and joined the UFC? http://www.ufc.com/f...er/mitch-Clarke

Sure the surname has an 'e' in it, but the media won't pick up on that.

Most people are intent on spelling it with an E on the end anyway


Mooney said pick 44 should get the deal done and Morton to Eagles

My other team (Sheffield Wednesday) have a supporters forum that is far more rowdy than here. One of the funniest things the posters over there pulled off was creating a false rumour that Terry Henfleet was in transfer talks with the Owls. Both Sheffield newspapers published articles making reference to the fictious player and a club official was even quoted as saying no-one would be ruled out when asked whether the club were interested in said players. Henfleet shirts are still commonplace at Hillsborough. It's the in-joke that returns every transfer period.

Nice work Chook.

Or better still ... call John Worsfold directly to verify the lead.

Posting in an epic thread.


On a more serious note I hope that if they keep Cale they try him in the forward line, he can find space he's got good hands and is a nice kick for goal. I reckon he would be a good option there.

Could be pretty crowded there with Clark, Dawes, Howe, Sylvia, Pedersen, Fitzpatrick, Gawn, Byrnes, Davey, Rodan, Sylvia, Jetta, Blease, Petterd, etc.

You reckon Sylvia will be twice the player next year that he was this year RL?

Seriously though we will have Clark, Dawes, Davey there permanently, Sylvia, Howe, Blease, Byrnes, Pederson and Jetta alternating with the midfield/backline so I think there will be space for Morton if he can get himself right. We also have to take in to consideration that some of the players will be between Melbourne and Casey so you don't have all on the park at once. Players like Fitzpatrick, Petterd and Rodan will get games where it's warranted but I don't expect to see them in the side very week. I wouldn't expect to see Morton in the side every week either.

 

Actually the MCG at approx 174 x 147 metres is a bigger expanse than Subi.

The Subiaco oval is longer by a few metres but at approx 120 metres, not nearly as wide.

As for Cale Morton and others who are rumoured to be departing - I hope Neeld and crew aren't doing to us what Royce Hart did to Footscray!

Funny you mentioned the width.

Went there about 3 years ago and thought the shape resembled a rugby ball rather than an Aussie Rules ball; never seen a ground that shape ever.

MFC trade pick 88 to PAFC for David Rodan.

PAFC trade pick 88 to WCE for Lewis Stephenson

Wait for it.....

WCE trade pick 88 back to MFC for Cale Morton

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
