Thats the link to this rounds performers. Based on the facts that Morton:
Got injured during the fourth quarter, can't remember how much game time was left, would've had to be 15+ minutes, so he could of easily racked up 30 disposals
We played a quality midfield in Adelaide who were ferocious and extremely hard to get disposals especially when we had such few possessions when compared to Adelaide
Has played 3 consistent games averaging 25+ possessions
Played in a heroic comeback victory
Possible the biggest reason he's only competitor is Kyle Reimers and he wears orange boots.
In Conclusion, all in all I will be very disappointed if Morton doesn't pull of the NAB rising star this week because he truly deserves it.

And his efficiency is a lot better than his little brother "Cale Morturnover".
Just having a little fun here, I don't like bagging first year players, especially blokes like Cale that have a red hot go. I think he will be an excellent player in time.
He does turn it over a hell of a lot though, I think last week he had 9 disposals, 6 of which were turnovers!

Cale looked ordinary yesterday, but will be a super talent.
In regard to our guy - Jarryd was outstandinng.
He has poise, vision, and good hands.

24 possies from a player whom is not in our best 25 is a great thing for our club.
starting to think we have a better production line than Ferrari, we keep spitting out geat one after the other, I think Pelchin need another slap on the back...
Well done Pelch

I've been very pleased with his performance, didn't really rate him at the start of the year, but he's been really good.
At the start of the year I thought his disposal was substandard, but he's been careful not to do anything too fancy, and with his excellent endurance he fits in nicely with the chip & charge out of the backline/wing.

You would think it will be either Morton or Trent Cotchin.

Should be a good chance has settled in well & playing some good footy!:thumbsu:

I thought Cotchin was superb yesterday, and then I look at the stats and he only got 14 touches :eek: just seemed like he had more of it than that, and really seemed to work hard to run to good positions.
If they don't think anyone had a standout game on the weekend the look at who has been consistent but not bagged a nomination, so they might do that.
