Just more space wasted.

I dont think he is any bigger - no bicep - with his left hand he is pulling out his singlet which might make him look bigger in the chest than he is.

IMO - his body shape isnt one that will suddenly clap on kilos of muscle over a pre season.

If he is it's very marginal and the WCE have probably had him in the gym everyday since trade.

If he has a break out with the West Coast, good on him. He didn't do anything for us, so the best thing to do was delist.

I'd much rather have an older Byrnes or Rodan keen as mustard to get that ball, some some twig who bricked it everytime he had it.

Posted

True, but for the purposes of my argument I chose to ignore that.

We did use it, for whatever banal purpose.

I think Rodan will prove incredible value for us.

Technically we didn't use it after we received it for Morton though :P

The problem with players like Morton is not necessarily size or skill, but lack of intensity at the contest.

I thought I was done sh** canning this bloke but I'll give it one more crack.

If you can bothered watching this ~30 min vid, the end is obviously worth it. You will notice every time Cale has it, or is close to having it he stuffs it up... EVERY TIME! Yes it was wet and slippery, but some were just unacceptable... I'm glad he's gone.

Now I'm glad I opened it again.

At least we get our minds away from Tanking & Drugs.

I just know how much you all love talking about CM

Supercoach comments.

Cale Morton (midfield) $305,600

There’ll be a few people tempted by the returning West Aussie, who showed he was capable of posting the odd reasonable score at Melbourne.

But Morton looks set to begin the year a fair way off the Eagles’ best 22 and could take time to work his way in. At this price, he’s not worth the pick-up.

Yours sincerely,
Cales Mum.

Some players thrive in better football teams

why are so many of you so hung up on an ex Demon who most of us thought should have been better and a few thought even better than that

I am far more interested in the players we have on our list than those who are not

Your allowed to be disappointed but isn't it time we all got over it

I have a lump on my foot they call it Morton's Neuroma

That's why his name is uppper most in my mind.

I have called my lump Cale.

It's a lot easier than the medical turn.

Also I think Cale was a lump.

Cale was taken at number 4.

Any chinese astrologist will tell you why it was such a big error.

I've never hated a player till Cale came along .

Oh well.

Fkn took years off my life that kid.

Whoosha was on ABC Perth radio this morning and was asked the question of how McGinnity and Morton would get games?

Said Cale would find it tough and would probably be playing quite a few games in the WAFL.

Be interesting to see Garlett run all over him .

He's obviously left a big impression on Woosha.

Cale is living proof that the Draft can sometimes be a glorified lucky dip. If he went at pick 40 or 50 we wouldn't even be talking about him.

The Draft has major flaws and always will have major flaws. These kids are 17 or 18 when drafted and there is no way you can tell for sure how these draftee's are going to turn out until they reach the age of 21- 23.(sometimes that footy 'maturity' comes at an even later age)

From what we've been told, just about every recruiter in the land had Cale at pick 3 or 4. There is a very good chance that at least 2 of the top 10 picks in the 2012 National Draft will turn out to be below average footballers. And the other 8 won't all be 'A' grader's. Often a 'failed' top 10 pick can be injury related (Luke Molan) The stats don't lie. Go through every draft from 2006 and back, for the evidence.

We didn't make an error in our selection nor did Cale let us or himself down. Cale is what he is. It didn't work out for us and I wish him all the best.

There's always time for more .

As a melbourne supporter ,and given the rules of the CoC ,

It's Cale season .

Your first sentence made me laugh me arse off .

we still owe him .

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
