Cale Morton

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

The one and the same. One is a tanned, muscled, fully grown man found in most football clubs aspiring to be top eight. The other looks like a human pipe cleaner or walking frigging penis.

Rofl, very good. I'm going to appropriate those metaphors!

This one?

Good God...That really does sum up the last 7 years in one frame.....We recruited little babies...The others recruited men.

Josh Hunt lost all his 'men attributes' when he short armed a contest running back in the flight. He went out and got a full sleeve of ink done to try gain some toughness.

If you took off you rose-coloured glasses, and stopped clapping so loud, you might have heard the negative doomday forecasts about Cale.

I don't want to be seen as a Cale fan as I was quite happy when we delisted him as it was obvious he wasn't going to be good enough.

Not sure where I put on any "rose-coloured glasses" or "when I clapped so loud" but obviously in doing so I missed these so called "doomsday forecasts" about Cale during his first year.

If you could attach some links to articles written in 2008 about how awful Cale would be to enlighten me I would appreciate it.

. Picking Morton at 4 was absolutely fair and was not a bad decision by our recruiting panel. We can chalk this one down to Morton simply not being able to get weight on his body; whether that's his fault or ours, we may never know.

.....and had he been picked up by Essendrug, or WCE........who knows?

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

According to the AFL website he didn't even nominate for the draft. Does anybody know if he has thrown in the towel for good?

And if that didn't do it there is always this gem:

Cale Morton a Demon again!!!

I wish him all the best and hope that he's a star with the Demons for many years to come.

He deserves it.

I still remember the game in his first season where he had something like 24 possies and 3 goals and looked a class above against the Bombers and polled Brownlow votes in that game

we thought we had a star on our hands

How wrong we were

This one?

getting into the festive spirit

[Biffen 12,323]

please -it's Xmas.

Cale is a special case who my be a very good average WAFL player one rare day

[monoccular 16,061]

Maybe it is time to build a bridge and move on -- a huge disappointment and we will never know for certain if he would have done better with better coaching and a stronger club culture.

Valé.

Precisely.

But who is this Vale guy?

Yeah it was round 18 2008.

He then backed they up with a 30 + possession game 2 weeks later against West Coast.

He impressed in 08 and 09.

A footballing tradegy that he's out of the game altogether.

How does a bloke with so much natural talent fall out of the game by 23.

It wasn't if he was a poor character.

[Thehardtackler 785]

Cale is a bit like Jordan Gysberts, they both have bags of talent but lack the dedication to actually stay at the top. I think that neither player worked hard enough on their frame in the gym. They both want to play football but do not want do to do the training.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He was never that good.

[McQueen 17,863]

Bennel upgraded, Morton delisted. I would've thought it'd end up the other way around.

Either way, we are better off without them on the list.

[jnrmac 18,953]

Diagree with all your points Stuie. 1. We chose this kid before Dangerfield and Rioli based on his Larke Medal effort. 2. He ran away from Lade, pure and simple, you can put any spin you want on it. 3. I watched the guy live for 5 years, he had the odd game where he ran & created space but fair dinkum , he never got involved enough or layed a tackle of any substance ever. None of that is made up champ, it is simply my opinion on what I observed. Anyway agree with most lets Move On. Brad Dalzeil anyone?

Agreed

Most disappointing pick ever in my mind.

[mjt 640]

If Watts doesn't improve he'll own that title.

2009 called... They want their Watts opinions back

[Demon_Tingles 211]

I do have to like the fact that the article called him a squad member and not afl player.

[angrydee 842]

Precisely.

But who is this Vale guy?

He's the bloke often found under that bridge.

[Karl Stefanovic 107]

I had a chat to him at an after match function once and I feel like he had unrealistic views on his position in the team which I believe is a massive reason why he never cracked it, because he believed he already had made it. All the best to him however, he is doing what all footballers ever want to do, to play football with his brothers in his hometown.
