Cale's time to shine

[Redjacket 756]

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

[P-man 13,366]

This isn't his first game. He debuted last week as the sub.

[Biffen 12,943]

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.

[Little Richard 6,262]

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...

[dazzledavey36 54,889]

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..!

Geez Cale beefed up since he left!

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,780]

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.

[DeeZee 7,392]

Good on him

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

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

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

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.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

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

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

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.

[Crompton's the man 659]

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?

Does a pretty mean impersonation of a palm tree though.

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.

[Carrot Top 947]

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?

This made me Laugh!!
