Pick 4

[Diablo 1]

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

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.

Is it just me or when you watch that brief package of Morton off the draft tracker he moves a lot like Juice?

[demonfanjezza 1]

Im excited about now. Cant wait for the season to start

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?

[Jarka 767]

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

Yep. Jeez I'm itching for the season to start now.

Interesting to read that Scott Clayton rated Morton equal to Cotchin and Kreuzer.

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"

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.

[Yze_Magic 3]

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

[sylvinator 96]

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.
