Cale's time to shine

Featured Replies

Posted

Due to 2 late withdrawals for the Eagles Cale Morton has been given the opportunity to be sub today. Good luck Cale.

 

Their season is over .

NicNat about to be dropped.

Watts in our best every week.

Who woulda thunk it.

Playing Cale is admission that you have given up.

 

Can't we just forget about Cale Morton? Why is there a need to start a thread every time he gets a game with the Eagles?

I can only assume the OP thought it was his first game in Eagles colours.

I think there are at least two other threads floating around from the last couple of weeks though...

Do we have to start a new thread about cale Morton every time he plays!? Time to seriously get over it and move on. We stuffed up our pick, happens everywhere we now just have to live with it and move on.

Mods please delete this stupid thread..!

 

I just turned on the TV to watch the match.

Cale kicks a running goal from 50 m.

The ball goes up the other end after the bounce.

Cale is standing in the " hole" with the pack coming. He stands his ground gutsily and earns the free when he's crashed. Delivers it well to a team mate.

9 disposals, one mark, one goal. Fair to say you've seen his highlights. I hope for his sake he can keep it up but statistically he isn't setting them on fire for a guy presumably playing half back deep into the third quarter.


10 disposals at 100% efficiency and a goal in 20 minutes of play, good god

Didn't know he was the sub. That's not a bad effort.

Good on him

He was a pick number 4, hopefully west coast is the right place for him to start to play some good footy

I wish I could be as gracious as you lot.

I see a bloke we spent pick 4 on and, despite his talent, did not give anywhere near his best for the jumper and refused to get hurt. As a result he contributed to many losses and clogged a spot on our list for 5 years.

Not his biggest fan that's for sure.


And to think that Jose bloke on here argued that he was our future.

Speaking of high draft picks, any word on Watts re-signing? he said it would all happen when his manager got back to Australia but still no word

Nic Nats stats 12 possies 1 mark 26 hitouts. People get so carried away with him taking a good mark or doing something exciting. A ruckman like him and someone who has his talent taking 1 mark doesnt help. I think even our two ruckman are doing better.

Does a pretty mean impersonation of a palm tree though.


Could West Coast be persuaded to trade him back to us for our top draft pick?

If we throw in some of the AFL's money as a sweetener?

Could we delist sellar and re-draft him on 1,000,000 a year?

Two kicks, ten handballs, one grab.

Gerald Healy has him BOG.

That says it all really. So many people have been conned by NikNat's flashy play that they can't see past it to the fact that he simply isn't that damaging. Same thing with his AA last year. He might get there, but he hasn't done it yet.

Incidentally, well done Cale on having a better game. If he keeps this up they might just keep him.

 

I always thought Cale could play, and was sad to see him go, but we're not the lost dogs home. He had enough time on the list without doing much, and it was time to go. So be it if someone can get something from him we'd never had got.

As for nicnat: AA last year - ha. Give him my skin color and my hair and he'd have as many bog's and aa's as I do. He can jump and if he gets within 3 feet of the ball he'll destroy you, but getting him in that 3 feet zone... Can that be taught?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
