West Coast + Cale Morton = Premiership?

Featured Replies

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.

 

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

"The former Melbourne midfielder is understood to have suffered a knee injury late last week and missed the Eagles opening NAB Cup games in Perth last weekend."

don't mince it. he is a classic pea-heart

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

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 .

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
