Toast Morabito tracking thread

lol
spoke to my buddy a couple or few years ago at the family day asking if his Dad was a really big wc supporter & young Anthony told me that it was a media beatup (or something along those lines).
They, except the mum who was Freo (if I recal correctly, it was a while ago)
Anthony said that it wasn't an issue & that his family were all freo now.
Of course a young Pup would need to trot the party line, but it seemed genuine & he responded to me comfortably
I remember telling a mate with kids there that we were looking at 3 of the players & said "that's our premiership midfield there"
it was Morabito, Suban & Hill
who knows?
Mora is Freo through & through

So which player in the team would he displace exactly? What position? What is his range of 'fringe' positions do you think he could play??

In what pathway do you guys see him returning as a regular 22??

Danyle would be out the door very quickly, unfortunately I don't think my boy Sutty could compete with a fulyl fit man eating beast like Mora either.

He's a midfielder/utility. There doesn't need to be a specific position he replaces. It could be anywhere on the ground except ruck or full back.

Well yeah, he'd be replacing another mid/utility of which we have a few in our team. The question wasn't about his position but which specific players he'd replace.

This same question we are asking of Mora can be asked of a few players this year.
Picking the starting 22 from a full complement is near on impossible for us. Gonna be a lot of disappointed players and fans this year.

Yep, will be Viv Michie again but on a greater scale.

I have said it before but our sports psychologists will need to work hard this year.

Team selections will become clearer after the intra club and Nab Cup games and not before .
Mora is tracking well but he will have to bite the bullet soon to have any chance for a game in the seniors .
He and we will know soon enough if the knee will stand up .
I'm hoping like hell that it does .
He has gone through too much for it to go again .

Not to put a mocka on him with what I and all are hoping is still a extremely fruitful AFL career for him - but the psychological hardships he has gone through must have been horrendous. I would absolutely love to read a book from him in the future about the various stages of his experiences since being first recruited -an honest to the bones autobio on his mindsets and recoveries. A book of this nature (no bones/feelings untold - the full truth) would be a remarkable read and extremely inciteful and useful for all aspiring athletes and everyone facing hurdles in life. Naturally after he establishes what I hope for him is a remarkable elite career over the next 7+ years.

Teachers and youth workers would carry it around as their bible to inspire young people who think they are doing it hard .

He would need to be in that premiership side, to get that book green-lighted though me thinks!!

That's a joke right?

im having serious concerns about the reports that he is still not in full contact. terrible to say but 13 months since surgery is not a small amount of time, there's "easing him back " then there is deadset serious confidence issues on that knee not being able to hold up to a full game. looking forward to the intraclub and the amount of time Mora will get to play.

I highly doubt Morabito will play in the intra club. If hes not doing any contact training, they're not gonna put him in a match in one weeks time.

You don't understand what it's like coming back from successive serious injuries until it happens to you. I wish him the best, but going through succesive serious injuries myself, I seriously doubt he will make it back.

I could easily name 4 or 5 players but it's counterproductive and only tends to make people angry when you suggest their favourite player is on the fringe of selection.

Serious?

Heath Black is doing the circuit with his story on depression and alcohol problems and how he is dealing with those why not Mora on dealing with adversity and overcoming expectations and shining through in the end .

Where's the joke in that

The Sunday Times said as much as well with Moro , Silvia and Gumbelton possibly starting the season playing for PEEL
With our depth in midfielders Peel could finally play finals footy in the WAFL .
His story then went on to suggest Taberner , Apeness and Bradley would be playing for peel as well .
He's not been down to training if he thinks Gumbelton won't play in the first game of the season .
