Delisted #25: Alex Morgan - Signed with North Melbourne as a DFA - 1/11/17 - delisted again - 25/10/18

[MightyDons4]

I'm no expert on the draft but Alex Morgan, especially when Mitchell Hibberd was still available. Really? I guess the club knows better than I do. Welcome to the club Alex.

Yep, better than Hibberd

 

[sacka]

Know nothing about him but welcome young man. Great to hear some good things.

 

[Eleven 38]

Welcome! Don't take #17

 

[MightyDons4]

Alright, I'm on his bandwagon.

Have not seen a lot of him simply because he has not played a lot. Saw a few games of his in 2013 when he was at the Chargers and he was reasonable enough for me to have a note to watch his development. Pace, good hands at ground level and nice kick where what I had in the plus side but needed to get into the game more.
This season he was pretty handy for Metro against WA and had 15 possessions in the TAC GF. Has played mainly half back but is one touted as able to play midfield. Saw him against NSW early in the year and he had a lot of the ball but he was a bit hit and miss in his kicking that day whereas in other games I have seen he has been very solid by foot.
I suppose he is a kid with a lot of scope after missing TAC last year. Combine testing was very good.

 

[Rack Watts]

Had a very good TAC GF.

That's Melksham's pick right?

 

[DaniFletch]

There's some skills you can't teach. Speed is one of those.

Not true, what Ben Cousins lacked in speed, he made up with speed.

His YouTube highlights:



Looks rather good, although I have to admit I had no idea who he was before we drafted him, and I was hoping for Bonner.

 

[Vindicater]

Looks quick.

Happy with the selection.

 

[sacka]

Lucky he is quick because he likes to play loose. He will need that speed to catch his opponent running into open goals.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Plays like Atley?

Oh my god, he has a sick goose step.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Happy to have him. Really good in traffic. Hopefully can eventually play on a wing.

 

[Rack Watts]

I think we think he can play as a midfielder, he has crazy lateral movement and his vision in tight is good.
Explodes through packs in that vid on a couple of occasions.
Has some hospital handballs by the look of it.

Has the scope to do so, just needs to build his tank.

Disco says we were taking the best available... let's see after round 15 in the VFL on how he's travelling before judgement is passed here.

With our smalls injury run, he may be playing seniors after then.

 

[Rack Watts]

You know how we lost Alex Browne? I get the sense we knew we were picking this guy with a second rounder.
As he plays similarly, but has pace.
That goose step!

 

[katana]

big enough to play midfield. don't want another ******* flanker made out of him. could be a bull with great speed away from congestion in time.

 

[fishardansin]

His kicking on the TAC cup video was sensational. I'm actually a little excited by him.

 

[fishardansin]

The clearance at 2.44 .... god I might have to climb off the Ambrose bandwagon and onto this one.

 

[MightyDons4]

Already claimed, don't get too attached

 

[Rack Watts]

Will give you that, but have it be known, I love a clearance bull and I need somebody to attach my old Clayton Oliver love to

I recall Redman decking 3 blokes at the champs, you can have him.

 

[adsla69k]

Reminds me of a bigger bodied wanganeen. Will push out an in form and fit Dempsey in a year or two.

I like this draft because it puts pressure on the established players
