"Yes I know he's young ; yes I know he's inexperienced ; yes I know there's lots of upside to the guy .

BUT-

If you watched the Hawks succumb to the pressure exerted by the Saints last night ,you may have noticed Cale's brother continually fumble , stutter , and turn over the ball when the heat was applied.

My concern now is that it may be a genetic thing because Cale regularly turned it over and missed his targets too when the pressure ultimately came after quarter time ."

Sounds like Costanza giving his obversations re cotton uniforms.

"Thanks George. But I'm off for my calzoni all the same".

Well now that you've given us this gem my fears are allayed .

Lol is this guy serious.

And another thing do we need a new Cale Morton thread everytime he plays.

God he got 20 posessions and 2 goals today. Did anyone see that sidestep he did in the first quarter. AWESOME!

Yes but did anyone see him do anything positive after quarter time when the pressure was on ?

Um, no it is not Genetic. If football playing ability was genetic what happened to the dud gaspar, the dud ottens etc?

I'm not talking about ability - Cale possesses it ; I'm talking about coping with pressure .

Turning the ball over is genetic?

Now I've heard it all.

Give the kid a chance, don't make a judgement until at least the end of next season

My point is that fumbling the football under pressure is genetic .

People respond differently to pressure , and perhaps the Mortons don't have a genetic propensity to coping well with it .

Yes I know he's young ; yes I know he's inexperienced ; yes I know there's lots of upside to the guy .

Bartram - missed the flight

Bate - was barely noticed

Miller - our best player

Morton - poor under pressure

Newton - 5 minute performance

Sylvia - junk time possessions

Warnock - missed the plane

Wheatley - not as impressive

Whelan - loose and inefficient

Valenti - gave some drive

Wonaeamirri- not on ground

Wow, Watts got BOG 3/5 times for Vic Metro. Watts all the way

Yes WJ I certainly agree on Rich being the standout , with Zaharakis being a major talent.

Natanui must be regarded as a player with serious deficiencies with a fundamental inability to read the play ,whilst having a super leap is not necessarily an advantage in the ruck any more - just ask Jeff White .

Bartram - never stopped trying

Bate - little too late

Bell - just a game

Bruce - tried to lead

Buckley - skills were suspect

Dunn - continued his renaissance

Garland - not as effective

Green - plenty of endeavour

Jamar - tried but ineffective

C. Johnson - another good performance

P. Johnson - just a game

Jones - needs a rest

Martin - comfortable in defence

Miller - little too late

Morton - impressive in bursts

Newton - provided a target

Sylvia - a poor game

Warnock - was rarely noticed

Wheatley - not as influential

Whelan - not his best

Valenti - no major strength

Wonaeamirri - exciting too infrequently

What did the next Matty Scarlett say?

The only enlightening thing he said was that assistant coach Sean Wellman awarded free meals to any defenders who kicked goals , which gave him added incentive to work his way forward .

A Redleg since 1994

A paying member since 1965 - 43 years .

He's thrown enough barbs at the club since he left to ensure he'll never be welcomed back.

We don't want him either.

From my perspective he has only expressed fondness for thc club and his former mates here .

Remember he didn't want to leave , the club gave him an offer he couldn't refuse !

I'd personally take him back in an instant

Let's not get carried away with our importance after an emotion charged win - we're still not world beaters and the rebuilding process is many years in the making !

Bartram - great in close

Bate - not as influential

Bode - no influence again

Bruce - loving the captaincy

Wonaeamirri - limited but important

Bartram - just a game

Frawley - a year away

Garland - not as influential

Green - classy rebounding game

Jamar - little to excite

C. Johnson - may have arrived

P. Johnson - becoming an influence

Jones - couldn't break shackles

McDonald - happier on ball

McLean - not as influential

Miller - provided active target

Sylvia - tried but failed

Warnock - tried but overwhelmed

Wheatley - our best player

Whelan - lost in battle

White - active and valuable

He grew up as a Demon supporter .

3.23 billion actually, has increased his worth by 1 billion in the last year alone . . .

Hope it's Gandel but doubt it . . .

He actually married in to the Gandel family .

No need to mention names but one of the list is a Gandel ( almost as good as a Pratt or Smorgon )

absolute bollocks about Morton FFS, he's played 10 games

Have I said he was crap ? Have I said he had no potential ? Have I said he's not going to be a 200 game player ? Have I said he hasn't shown some terrific form ?

I doubt there's any rational supporter who could say Morton's game hasn't ( understandably ) deteriorated from his early outstanding displays .

Completely agree. Hopgood would be very, very lucky to be involved.

Unbelievable !

In nearly 40 years of watching the Dees I don't think I've come across a less talented footballer .

I am hoping by high profile we can do better Hinch...

Hinch disowned the Dees about 5 years ago !

Actually I liked the alternate strip , except for the long-sleeved version as worn by Brock in the last quarter .
