Cale Morton or Patrick Dangfield ???

[}>-DEMON-<{]

Umm ... are you saying Grimes isn't a half back flanker?

ummm played out of the middle against the bombers the other day and got 32 disposals, 7 clearances and 2 goals

ummm was a midfielder as a junior

ummm has been training as a midfielder all pre-season

ummm get a clue

 

[}>-DEMON-<{]

If Morton were as good as the feeble dees supporters are suggesting, surely he would have influenced a game enough for the dees to get a win on the board. He hasn't. In the seven wins Melbourne have had since Cale has been there i cant remember singing his praises for pulling them over the line.

I mean Rioli has changed matches, Palmer through sheer work rate has won Freo matches. Ebert has had games collecting 30 odd possys and three goals playing INSIDE mid, thus completely changing the complexion of a game. Morton has not, thus he is inferior to the players mentioned above. His stats are meaningless because they are 15 meter sideways passes or being involved in the numerous Melbourne "over handball chains".

If as speculated Clayton were chasing him, i wouldnt worry. Clayton isnt the best recruiting guru in the league, he has made some stinkers and this could be another.

OK so if you haven't single-handedly won a match as a 2nd year player in the bottom side you are just no good

Tell me how many 2nd year players in the history of the sport have racked up 97 possessions in 3 weeks

But has played at AFL level almost exclusively as a half back flanker, hasn't he? Dumbass.

Here you go: http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/players/M/Matt_Priddis.html

Matthew Priddis

2007 (Second Year)

Round 10: 31
Round 11: 39
Round 12: 29

If my maths serves me correctly thats 99.

 

[Schulzenfest]

And Matthew Priddis is a renowned star of the competition.

 

[cannons]

How old was Priddis in his 2nd year?

Further, did he have a solid build at that point in time?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Adelaide made the RIGHT decision taking Dangerfield over Rioli....does that naswer your question?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

How old was Priddis in his 2nd year?

Further, did he have a solid build at that point in time?

He was fairly solid, as he plays as an inside midfielder.

Morton plays loose across half back. Doesnt need to be as solid a build.

How about the age factor?

I was under the impression that Priddis had senior WAFL experience prior to joining the Eagles as a mature-age recruit.

He has played halfback mainly in his games so far yes, but Bailey has always made it clear a move into the midfield was iminent (coming this year).

So no, he is not a half back flanker.

He is a half back flanker until he starts playing midfield. He might be a midfielder in a month, but right now he's a half back flanker,

I actually saw him play midfield about three weeks ago against Essendon. 32 possies, 7 clearances, 2 goals, highest supercoach points for the match (hey barely any NAB challenge statistics are released so you need to take what you can get).

Was clearly the best midfielder on the ground that day.

It's kind of like how Gibbs played his first season in defence. Doesn't mean he is a defender.

 

[lions_den]

Dangerfield easily, but I don't really rate either at the moment, though I do see potential in Dangerfield.

Shame I can't say the same about Rich.

oh fcs you clown give up

don't bother commenting on players you obviously have no idea about stick to your own franchise

Wow, that's an awful lot of fail for two sentences.

A) Apparently I know more about Grimes than you, considering you seem shocked that I called a guy who's played all of his AFL footy in the half back line a half back. He might play midfield in the future, but so ****ing what? So far he's played almost exclusively at half back bar one NAB cup game. By your logic Kane Cornes is a forward.

B) An 140 year old club with 36 premierships is a franchise?

****ing idiot.

you implied the player is not going to be any good and part of that implication was based on him being a HBF but he is going to be a nidfielder so you were wrong, say it: W R O N G

your jumper has teal on it. Freo has green and purple. That's because you are johnny-come-lately pathetic franchises with no soul that exist purely so TV rights can line demetriou's pockets

Grimes comes from a family of DEMONS, assumedly going back generations, its called soul and tradition something the likes of yourselves and gold coast/GWS will NEVER have

so you are a bastardised form of a SANFL club, how proud you must be, nobody gives a rats about dominating a suburban comp in the second fiddle state

 

[Schulzenfest]

Please quote this evidence of me saying that he won't be any good.

Yes of course, 140 years of history are cancelled out because there's a tiny bit of teal on our jumpers. Someone should inform the club.

Brett Ebert board.

Melbourne supporters really aren't hard to piss off on BF are they? Question one of their players and they all flock like sheep to the thread. Dangerfield easily, anyone with half a football brain would realise that.

 

[anti_]

Shame I can't say the same about Rich.

how did anyone let this one slip by?

i...uhh...what?

he's already better than anyone on melbourne's list.

 

[Suspekt]

Morton is a terrible footballer.

 

[yulong]

Morton is a terrible footballer.

Yeah, ok. Who do you play for?

You mean like you've come to this thread in order to defend Dangerfield?



Also, your assessment is ridiculous.

Where did I say he was a bad player?
