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".....

He was running to get the ball

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.

Correct. @Ethan Tremblay but mind yourself, if someones got a medical condition, you can't say anything untoward...

[RalphiusMaximus 6,046]

Paddy Mac today managed two goals and a report in the VFL.  Developing nicely.

KB wants Richmond to get McCartin. Bit before my time was KB, how many concussions did he get?

KB's a washed up old hack.

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

[buck_nekkid 5,857]

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.

[buck_nekkid 5,857]

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

[Gator 17,332]

I love KB and reckon McCartin can play.

[Ted Lasso 19,507]

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

I think he still holds the AFL record for running away from a fight in an AFL game....

Hold on......... wasn't he just running to the next contest ?????????

[deelete my account 1,194]

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

[Radar Detector 1,347]

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.
