Free Agency Alex Morgan [signed with North Melbourne]

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That's true my point was you didn't flick him as such. Delisting was by mutual agreement.

Yeah agree hopefully he works out for you blokes.

I haven't been paying much attention the North's seconds but hows this guy tracking?
There was something about him that I always liked, he just couldn't start firing for us.

Has been poor to average until his last 2 vfl matches. He is starting to put together some decent form with good ball use and getting a bit more of the footy. Was a match day emergency against Geelong.

In saying that, he is still in delist territory.

Coming at no cost was absolutely worth the risk.

Talent is there.

Indeed it was. Quickest and easiest path to you blokes was as a DFA; win win win for everyone there.

Was a match day reserve for the seniors recently.

Played a couple of good games the last time I watched him play.

I’ve always thought this guy would be a much better player in the firsts than the seconds.
Hopefully they give him a crack before delisting him.

Given how bad he was in the seconds it wouldn't be hard.

May be making his debut as Macmillan has pulled up sore from training.

Goodluck to him! Hope he plays.

He's had a good month and starting to get 20+ disposals, at high efficiency, more regularly now.

It's funny he had a good preseason in 2016 looked set to get plenty of AFL games then got injured and was borderline VFL standard for the 95% of the time he was at Essendon. Seemed like it was likely a desire/confidence issue.

 

[Ambrosia]

Every club does it - Jackson Merrett is proof your still doing it.

Reckon Merrett's last name has a fair bit to do with it .

Definitely a confidence thing, his early games at north were borderline development league level, but the threat of delistment and a few injuries to the squad would be definite encouragements behind his better form.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Has pace and has been very composed of late in the VFL.

Deserves his promotion if he gets it.

Geez LDU must be struggling not even being in the emergencies for North.
Hopefully he kills it in the VFL.

He won’t be dominating for a while due to his body type and position. Come 2020, he’ll be right to go.

[ams4crows]

when I first saw this I thought Alex Morgan?? world class superstar female Soccer player... is gonna play in the AFLW for North.... I was mistaken.... carry on

 

[Prochard123]

Never heard of him...

 

[Groin guru]

Never heard of him...

Good young kid struck down with injuries is finally getting a chance to show if he has what it takes. Good luck to him.

 

[parvey]

Who the hell is he?

 

[Rooboys Rool]

Its Morgan/another DFA, or commit to pick 96 in a weak draft for 2 years. Why not take a punt on a bloke with speed, skill and significant upside rather than go for a known C-grader ie Hartung?

lol

 

[remfan101]

lol

Haha why not both I guess?

Agree. Looks a fair way off.
