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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    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
