Hopefully this gives you all a bit of a laugh...

From the Herald Sun, 4 January 2013

"There has also been strong backing for West Coast at the seemingly generous odds of $7.


“We took a $3000 bet on West Coast at $7 for a potential $21,000 collect right after the announcement that they had recruited classy midfielder Cale Morton so plenty of punters are confident they have the list to go to the next level this season,” Hamilton said."

    Hahahahaha! That is just funny....Some one got paid to write that rubbish...

    People get paid to write all the Hun's rubbish. Sad and troubling really.

    "Classy"must mean something else over there .

    I dont know who is fooling themselves more-the WC punter or the Dees guy who put on 5k to collect 75.

    I'm over sports betting .

    They have destroyed cricket , along with James Slitherland and co.

    Watch them influence , then ruin football.

    I should read

    We took a $3000 bet on Cale Morton at $1000 for a potential big collect right after the announcement that they had recruited him to make the starting 22 at WC, so some dumb punter is confident he has what it takes to go to the next level this season, we reckon he's done his balls” Hamilton said."

    Morton looks almost identical to last season.

    Nothing to see here.

    I think Bennell will be the one to lead them to a premiership...Morton will just be his right hand man. If those two are given a chance with the Eagles at the top level they'll each consistently rack up 40+ disposals at 98%+ efficiency. They're that good.

    I wish the Dees had invested more time into them... 2013 will be their year! And if it's not, 2014 will be.

    Sarcasm.

    Surely he is "the missing link": he will instil that missing hardness that they need to bring them to the top.

    Contrary to what's said here, Morton's not useless.

    He just doesn't fit into Neeld's strategy. And that's okay.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he does well with WCE.

    I'm with you, I won't be the least bit surprised. The Eagles' track record for actually developing young talent into solid footballers is in another stratosphere compared to ours.

    The article itself is usual Herald Sun BS. I read their articles online and fully expect sentences to finish with 'lol', 'WTF' and smily tags.
    That being said, while he won't be the missing link to them winning a flag, he may improve. If he does, it will be an indictment on the old regime and to an extent a blot on the current regime.

    I fear Essendon will be pretty good this year.

    The were good last year... til we beat them!

  • Quote
    He definately doesn't look the same as last year. Has definately put on muscle.

    The fact that this is his last crack at it as spurred him on I recon.

    Will be interesting to see how he goes.

    Yeah,

    Looks like hes got a tan and grown dreddies aswell.

    Moreton???? Ah the chemist.

    Morton has the chance to make some on here eat their words.....

    He looks bigger, but not by much..... He will get a lot bigger and stronger...... and in two years he will dominate....... there will be people on here crying, then blaming the FD.....

    He has more skill than he is given credit for on here......

  • Quote

    If Cale Morton dominates for Meth Coke i will be filthy on Cale Morton.

    People have every right to be on his back.

    He had ample opportunities at MFC to shine and didn't.

    That kick last year was pitiful. And who kicked it.

    Cale himself. Nobody could do it for him.

    I will not be eating words if he succeeds. I will be furious as an MFC Member that we were used.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
