Can anyone comment on how well (if) Cale Morton played against Richmond?

He certainly played and here's some pictorial evidence - PICTURES FROM CAIRNS

According to a report on 'ology from twodogs:-

"Cale Morton - Pushed aside at times (understandably) but perservered, was involved in some of our better plays, will be a player, looked spent in the last."

I thought Cale looked very good. Is a good height and is surprisingly quick for his size. Also has nice skills, good hands and a good kicking action. They had him mainly in the backline. As others have said he did not spend heaps of time on the ground and will need to improve his fitness but on the little I saw I think we can be excited.

Apparently he racked up 110 dream team points, so must have found the aggot a fair bit.

I think somebody would having been waxing a bit more lyrically than we've heard if that had been the case. May have been ranking points, but even then, thats a pretty damn good game.

i really hope they are foxing with this kid. he has an enormous engine so i would find it hard to believe that he was struggling at game end, perhaps it was taking the heavier hits than he would be used to. i have a feeling he will slot in quite nicely on a wing, or across half back. his foot skills are apparently sublime.

Pretty much my sentiments to a T, youami. He gave everybody else in the draft camp shuttle run a bath, and then, according to some reports, stopped because he had 'won'. And having watched him in a couple of NAB U-18s games, I can tell you his right foot is brilliant. Dare I say the best toe in the 2007 draft.

Beep tests and match practice are clearly two different things. It doesn't matter how big your engine is, first game of the year and you're going to feel the pinch. You make a good point about the heavier hits.

He could be an interesting quarter back style backman playing on the mobile third talls during his first few years. Be great to utilize his reputed kicking skills from point kick ins.

I don't think i would want to put the pressure on him for the kick ins just yet.

I just head something very interesting and encourageing on SEN. Mark Doran was inteviewing a guy from the official stats keepers (can't rememeber their name) about a ladder based on stats from the last 3 years. If all players were uninjured and played to their past 3 year averages, Fremantle would be on top etc etc. When he got to Melbourne (which was surprisingly at 8th) he brought up the performance of Cale Morton on Friday night against Richmond.

The stats people kept stats on all practice games, and had Morton down for 25 touches and one of the best on the ground. He played as an outside player and his disposal by foot was brilliant.

Very encouraging.

Geez I had no idea he had that many possessions.

After watching DBs video on MFC website I got the impression that DB is not all that impressed with Cale, he was quick to move onto some of the other young guys, and very dsmissive of his game in cairns. Am i reading too much into it? Watch it yourself.

I got the feeling DB was just keeping a thorough lid on it.

I don't think DB wants it to get back to Cale that the coach is content with his effort after 1 game.

Sheedy was always very strict with the most talented players, like he was with Hird, in order to get the most out of them.

He really made them earn his respect and i sensed that was what DB was doing in that interview.

27 posies in your first match.

Pretty damn special if you ask me.

From the limited footage i have seen of him playing last year and against Richmond, i reckon this guy is going to be a very very good player for our club.

I just can't keep from thinking he could be the next Pavlich.

I can't wait to see him at Casey next week.

nothing like pavlich

I think you will be proved wrong.

Have a closer look.

He was measured at the draft camp as a 17 yo at 191.5cm and he is still growing.

He has CHF written all over him.

Just give him a few years.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
