FAREWELL CALE MORTON

Featured Replies

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.

 

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.

 

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.


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

 

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'

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

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


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.

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...'

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

i agree.

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

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

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.

 

even funnier if it ended up happening..lol

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
