Pick 4

He is better than Masten, and in terms of playing ability I would suggest he is better than Kreuzer as well.

That's pretty tough on Masten, he's a gun midfielder. I'm with brey, I think th etop 3 is actually Cotchin, Masten and Morton but time will tell. I'mpretty sure though that if the eagles took Morton @ 3 we would have ended up with Masten with exactly the same comments being made in this thread.... ;)

nope, masten is a good little player, he wont have that x-factor morton does

morton and cotchin are pretty well even no1 picks

if carlton did the right thing last year and picked luenberger, instead of gibbs, then kruezer would have gone alot lower, its just their rucking crapness that required them to hype him up as the next dean cox/jim stynes

Don't get me wrong Jarka, Masten is a super little player with lovely hands. I just don't think he has the all-round game to have him rated ahead of Morton, and certainly he doesn't have the X-factor, as brey says. I would have been happy to snare Masten at 4, but I'm happier to bag Morton. I think it's alot harder to find a young guy with Morton's kicking ability than it is to find one with Masten's ball-winning ability.

Out of interest which of top 3 do you think he's better than?

CAC was quoted a month or so ago saying that Morton, Kreuzer and Cotchin were easily the standout three and that if any were still available at pick 4 he'd read out their name in a heartbeat.

i've never seen the bloke play, just read the hype and profiles on websites such as this... but from what I've read if he grows a little more and fills out, he could become a matthew pavlich type player? or is he more of a genuine midfielder?

You guys are being harsh on Masten, that kid is going to be an absolute gem. I seem to remember people saying the same thing about Brock McLean before he was drafted too.

Can't speak for the others, but I'm basing my comments on what CAC said and nothing else.

FWIW I don't doubt that Masten will most likely be a gem, WCE wouldn't have taken him at 3 if that wasn't the case. Does he have the same superstar potential as Morton though?

Only time can answer that question

I watched him closely in the Vic Metro WA game and not as strong (both in body and overhead) as Pavlich, but a better mover. Struck me as a James Hird type. Smooth mover, fantastic kick (his 40-50 metre passing is something to behold), and a good pair of hands. Seems to glide across the turf, needs to strengthen up for a key position spot, projects as a flanker wingman at this stage. Can see him playing a few games next year.

Kruezer was anointed a Carlton player four months ago, just like Gibbs had been. Thus, by the time the draft comes around they are both ridiculously hyped.

Hell, I've heard he's "already as good around the ground as Adam Goodes" :lol:

Rumours of OP issues with Masten put me right off, which is very shallow of me I know but I really, really, hate that feeling of 'will Moloney ever really be back'. Is there anything worse than an injury you don't know whether you'll recover from?

But let's not suggest that any of Kreuzer, Cotchin or Masten are duds.

But I was still stoked to hear their names read out one two three. I actually cheered out loud when I heard Masten called for the Eagles, and then Morton for the Demons.

Cale Morton.

He just seems... right.

Kreuzer could be awesome, or he could be a dud

Personally, I think Cotchin or Morton should have gone number 1

And considering his size and skill, it should have been Morton

We have made out like bandits

Morton will start out as a flanker/ wingman. he has terrific skills and can kick the ball lace out 50m onto a teammate's chest.

however, he is only 17 and already 192cm.

when he bulks up, and maybe grows a couple of cms, i think its very possible he could turn into an awesome KPP.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
