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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
