Cale had his issues some of which were probably exacerbated by our "development" of players at the time. However his implied cowardice in this comment is just wrong.

If you google "Cale Morton" the third auto response is "running away".....

    I agree.

    It was more overt than one could possibly imagine or ever imply.

    I love this thread... its about Cale now... I was expecting a comment about McCartin's report in the VFL - but we can let it go through to the keeper... CP5 is CaleV2.0? (new AND improved of course, not that things can be new AND improved).

    Talking about that useless [censored] McCartin just got boring.

    They need someone to replace  Vickery and Paddy may just be the dud to do the job.

    Listening to KB read his scripted tosh is embarrassing.  He tries to create the story, and I bet he smells of urine and old farts.  He may want Trac's biatch at Richmond, but it's not,going to happen.  Sainters would be looking at 2018 and beyond for this kid, and the rest is a bonus.

    As for the report, he hit the kid pretty hard, when he was unprotected and late.  Be interesting how the MRP review it.

    Paddy looks like he lives off a diet of burgers and fries. He's a big unit. That was a hard hit to the back of the guy's ribs whilst he had his arms up marking. At least 1 week.

    McCartin reminds me of Rene Kink in build at the same age. Huge. Saw the hit on video

    late and hard. 2 weeks is what it should be. He lined him up from a long way out

    Paddy will be a very good player but he is going to take some time, I fully expect the saints will just let him develop as best they can to take over when roo calls time. 

    Im very happy with petracca but they're probably to different to compare

    Paddy playing like he's going to jump ship and head to another club on a big offer. Collingwood you'd think?

    Never a bigger crock of unfounded [censored] posted. And that's saying something

    All it would take is for someone to link McCartin to Melbourne and this thread will fill with platitudes for the bloke.

    I would've thought someone with nearly 9,000 posts might have actually read a thread or 2 on here. Player sentiment blows like the breeze. But carry on.

    Hyperbole, blowhards and smart alecs are commonplace. Post counts are irrelevant. But keep at it you.

    Yes, thats exactly what he was doing. Vision made him look like a coward but in reality he was doing what any smart player should have done..... go for the ball/stay in the contest.

    Poor basterd gets lots of undeserved flack from that single bit of vision that doesnt tell anything like the whole story.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
