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.

    KB's a washed up old hack.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
