I never held it against Cale Morton that he failed to kick on after being selected at pick 4 in the 2007 AFL National Draft but, sure as hell, I'm not impressed about the fact that he failed to tell the MFC recruiting people about the kid who lived next door to him at 8 - 10 Elliott Street, Lake Grace.

Two years after we drafted Morton, Nat Fyfe who is my favourite footballer outside Melbourne's list, was taken by Fremantle at pick 20 after we took $cully (1), Trengove (2), Gysberts (11) and Tapscott (18).

Damn!

Nat Fyfe has come along way from Lake Grace to the AFL's biggest stage

The Fyfes lived at 8-10 Elliott Street; the Mortons lived at No. 6; and their football playground was anywhere they could find it.

Fyfe is an absolute gun. If I had the choice of recruiting anyone from another AFL team I would take him in a flash. He rates 8+ in every skill department and has a huge dose of courage. And we chose Cale Morton.

I am going to need a double shot of Tullamore Dew now just to get through to the Grand Final.

Shocking kick for goal by the former occupant of 8 - 10 Elliott Street early in the game.

His second shot was no better. Two shots OOB and now a free against Hodge.

... but he is playing a great game. Keeping them in it at the moment.

The occupant of 8 - 10 is his team's best to half time and bar for his three missed shots and a couple of free kicks, he's been fine. A terrific player who will become a star of the game if he's not already.

Agree with that he was ordinary with his disposal today; lot of pressure though.

At least he help his team get there Robbie

which is more than can be said for this lot

$cully (1), Trengove (2), Gysberts (11) and Tapscott (18).

Two of them will never get there and another is doubtful.

Fyfe is an absolute superstar.

Would trade pretty much all of our draft picks for the next two seasons for him.

thats no good, Freo would pick 6 superstars with those picks.

we've just gotta learn, to get footybetter, footy smarter.

    Champion ruckman and brilliant leader, Max Gawn earned his seventh All-Australian team blazer and constantly held the team up on his shoulders in what was truly a difficult season for the Demons.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.
