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

    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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
