Toast Morabito tracking thread

[Gekko71]

Put him as sub and then play him as an outside mid in the mold of Sheridan.

Fresh running legs to sprint with the ball and kick for goal; Sandi will get flashbacks of the 2010 EF and charge down an unsuspecting Boomer Harvey; who whilst lying sprawled on the floor will be pinched by EVERY SINGLE Fremantle player on the field.

...I would cut my f*****g arm off to see this happen in real life!

Just keen to see the kid come back and give it a crack. A swans supporter mate of mine called him a douche for doing his knee again. Green vest the chap then see how he goes. Couldn't do much worse than some of our other players

He sounds like the douche.

Id like to say karma but I don't believe in that. But when Alex Johnson hurt his knee a few years in a row right after he said it, well, I wasn't happy Alex was hurt...it put his stupid comment into contextcontext

 

[Tbonefreo]

*sorry iPhone issues**

Yeah it put my perspective on how angry I was by his comment. Never wish any injury or anything horrible on anybody

Can't imagine what this board will be like when the emperor is named to play.

There is another Anthony Morabito that exists in Perth. I drove past a commercial building under construction and the real estate agent was named Anthony Morabito... I thought surely not!? How does the great one have time to be a real estate agent as well?

Turns out there's some guy who just stole his name or something

Anyway, I can't wait to hear the roar of the crowd when Mora steps off the bench for the first time and onto the ground (assuming he will come back as the sub).

Sorry for the ignorance, but what are you talking about?

 

[Arcassius]

Yeah it's his cousin - works in commercial property One of our clients

His cousin has the same name as him!? Whaaat

 

[pokerspiv]

Anthony is a pretty common name among Italians.

Lyon on AFL website re Mora:

Wouldn't think he'd be back for this month of big games based on this. Maybe first game after the bye.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Ok sorry I didn't explain it well was in between doing things. So pretty much I copped shit for mora doing his knee then premiership defender Alex Johnson done his knee. He has had 3 operations since then. Pretty much I could have given him shit but chose to give him my perspective on injuries. Which is don't be a prick

He's a midfielder, a bloody big one, but he's a midfielder. The latest from Ross suggested Mora requested to return to the midfield instead of playing in the backline for Peel. He'll play midfield for a few weeks to come in the WAFL. I'd imagine he'll play on ball once he's back.

KPP these days are bigger than Mora. Look at our heir apparents; Apeness 200cm, 100kg, Taberner 197cm, 95kg, Howson 201cm...you see the trend.

haha yeah - when I met him it was the first thing I asked him

Yep hes a midfielder. Its important to look past a players height and weight. People would then mistake tippett for a ruck

Can't wait until he gets back, I rate him pretty highly, just so versatile and all round good.

Howson? Some of our heirs are falling out already.

The size of KPPs is a work in progress; Reiwoldt and Schultz leading the Coleman, with Gunston, Crameri, Roughie, Pav etc lurking. Just your normal sized tall forwards. Hawkins is in there as a token super tall.

If Apeness comes on as we hope, i suspect that it may be at the expense of the 2nd ruck man.

I have no doubt that he will play midfield, but when we have our full component of midfielders available we already see Fyfe, Mundy and Barlow going forward. Throw Morabitto in our 22 and factor in our forward line issues and i am certain he would play a role there as well.

Thats true, he may not be a designated forward but there could be games where he plays 70% of it in the forward line. He could be similar to how Jack Darling is playing currently.

Jeez it's going to be competitive for spots with the likes of Barlow,mora and Sylvia pushing for selection soon.

Neales gone from sub to starting 22. Looks like he could go back to sub when them folks get back.

Just wondering how Mora's disposal efficiency is going currently? from some of the WAFL games it wasn't too good. Is it any worse than some of our players in our starting 22 i wonder?...Poor skills killed us in the Sydney game.

I doubt Mora will ever be an elite foot pass,his technique is flawed.

Yes and you can add Ibbo to the list

Maybe, but I would say it will be tough to maintain a spot even as a sub.

It depends on who is out for him as to where he plays. Someone else quoted RTB saying he's not going to mess with structure so inventive placement of players is almost certainly out.

In my book the currant starting 22 most in danger of being dropped (on a like for like basis) are as follows.

Based on last weekend
Suban - Interchange / mid
C Pearce - Mid / HB
de Boer - HF / Mid
Mayne - Fwd

Over the season
C Pearce gets a repreve
as does de Boer
But Sutty comes into consideration
as does Neale
