whatwhat say what 23,910 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 had one kick since coming on midway through the third. I can't get over how skinny he is. looks miles off the pace, as you'd expect in a derby - frenetic game.

Easily confused with muscles
What 18,810 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 i watched the 2nbd half and totally forgot he was even picked to play as i did not see him once or hear his name
angrydee 842 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Great performance - 2 ineffective kicks 1 almast tackle. Plenty of hovering. One high five to Darling after one of his five goals

As opposed to Beamer whose barge arrse takes up more space than warrants his selection, hey Stuie.

Yeats8 21 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 He was terrible. Two kicks in 40 mins of play. You have to question why these high ranking draft picks that come to mfc just don't develop into the stars like other clubs do .i.e gaff, masten, fyfe, hill

w00dy 146 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Early on it was thought the eagles made a mistake taking Masten, as he struggled early in his career, while Morton was doing well from day one. Oh how things changed.

The Lobster Effect 900 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Speaking of ex dee rejects now playing in W.A.... "West Coast rookie Jamie Bennell was the standout AFL-listed player in the WAFL on Saturday, leading Swan Districts to a 39-point win over Claremont. Bennell had 23 possessions against the Tigers as he continues his recovery from the knee reconstruction that ended his 57-game career at Melbourne."
DeeSpencer 26,719 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Masten, Morton, Myers, Palmer all dominated for WA in their under 18 year. Come to AFL and Palmer looks like a star in his first season, Morton looks like a tall outside midfielder who can link up well and the other two look like spuds. Fast forward a few years and the 2 who started slowly are the best and the 2 others have new homes.

In fact it probably nearly saved it as it's poor form in the AFL community to delist a guy off a knee generally. But I have more hope for him than Morton. When he started he was a dashing half back flanker capable of beating decent small flankers and then using the ball really cleverly. Did any else label him the next Andrew Mcleod or was that just me? Problem was poor Jamie seem to get worse and more timid every year!

It appears that way but I'd argue it wasn't. He was already starting to head backwards at Freo. Sure he wasn't at the stage to get delisted but he took the cash because his Freo career wasn't heading to the heights he imagined.

He's still built like a string bean and scared of a contest. He plays for East Perth who is my local team and I watch a lot of their games. I really don't know how he got selected I was at the East Freo game the other week in the feral section and he seemed to be the whipping boy!
