Morton - Happy thus far?

[saj_21]

hindsight is a wonderful thing that we know too well at punt rd, i know that we were interested, I prefer Cotchin and at this early stage would have Palmer a few lengths clear, however I might add that he looks like a colt with alot of improvement in him

You blokes have enough mid sized (188-192cm) players on your list you needed a genuine mid fielder that could find and use the footy.

my word we did, thats why I was pleased the choice of Kruezer was removed from the process

Been watching Morton for most of this year (had him in my dreamteam) and yesterdays game was one of his worst, he fumbled the ball a few times and his disposal and decision making wasn't really up to scratch. Maybe a couple weeks in the reserves would help him get some confidence

Other then yesterday, morton has been pretty good player for you guys and looks like hes going to turn into a really good player

 

[Pipefitter]

I'd be very disapointed if he didnt get dropped this week. Im all for "playing the kids" but jesus, he has no weight on him, is looking like hes really gonna start getting smashed around. Clarkson did it to zac dawson, where is he now? It doesnt work.

 

[Mr Hard Ball Get]

he had 6 critical errors on sunday, the next most by a player in the game was 3...

for a young player boy can he find the footy but does need to get some confidence in the twos where he knows he has a bit more time to dispose

His skill level has been down for the last 2 weeks, i would much rather a bloke find the footy and turn it over as opposed to not being able to get it at all. Riemours for you guys is similar finds a lot of doesnt always make the best decision or execute it that well but better than him running round with no idea and not finding the ball.

 

[melbournemartin]

He is having the same issue as Buckley is. Gets a lot of the ball but struggles to use it properly. I'd give Morton a break in the VFL and replace him with Buckley. Just don't play Buckley in defence for God's sake.

A good thing about Sunday was seeing his brother, who has had a couple of years in the sytstem play for Richmond, he had some good size about him and looked strong. His brother at Hawthorn also has a bit of size, so give it a few years and he will bulk up and get more confidence on the ball

DEES fans would be mad they didnt get Palmer

DEES fans would be mad they didnt get Palmer

Football recruiting is about longivety of the player for the benefit of the football club Pickle,sorry, I mean mustard!

Let's see who ends up better over a period of time.Be good to hear back from you then!

 

[mustard]

DEES dont have the best track record for recruiting

 

[master bate]

Maybe, but surely you would be madder (if thats a word). Palmer >>>>>>Morton>>Myers at the moment, and whilst Myers has plenty of improvement I think Cale has more and is the more likely of the two to catch up to Palmer.

gumby, myers, davey, jetta, remiers, lovett, dempsey, lonergan , nash, stants, neagle..thats our talent.it runs DEEP!

Ok this is my last post on this, and your next one might be yours.

Bate > Gumbleton
Morton > Myers
Davey = Davey
Wonaeamirri > Jetta (especially at bargain price)
Newton = Neagle
McLean >>>> Stanton
Jones > Lonergan
Which leaves you with Dempsey, Ryder,Nash, Lovett, Houli, Reimers and a few more
Up against, Sylvia, Dunn, Bell, Moloney, Petterd, Bartram, Buckley, Valenti, Garland, Warnock etc.

If you still believe that your drafting is good or ours is bad, then make a team out of your best players 24 and under and I'll do ours, it will shut you up.

Gumby and Dempsey are constantly injured. Jetta, you have to be kidding me, that guy is lucky to be playing AFL at the moment.

Last year the bombers only won games because of one guy, Hird. The best players last year were your old player, Hird, Lucas, Fletcher.... They will ALL be gone by next year.

Back to the Morton chat, comparing him to Palmer is a little stupid. Morton is as skinny as a rake, he needs a couple of years in the gym and given some time to bulk up. He has a MASSIVE tank on him, good height and good skill.

He just does not have the body for AFL at the moment, come back in two or three years time, then you will see how good or bad the decision is.

Personally, I rated Palmer higher than Morton, Myers and Masten from the WA team, but in saying that I think Melbourne already had many players in his mold(Jones, McLean, Sylvia, Moloney).

 

[saj_21]

Mustard your a clown, firstly dont judge a player after 12 games and secondly i dnt wanna hear about all of essendon young players if i want to i will go and have a read on the essendon board so ____ off!

Gumby - you cant judge yet because he hasnt got onto the park. but he will probably be better than bate

you were aying you cant judge morton yet because he hasnt played enough games so you cant judge myers yet either that one cancels eachother out

ALWYN has overtaken aron you would THN_INK

Wonemirru is not proven yet. though JETTA is a jet more upside youd think

NEAGLE kills newton. he is a massive lad kicked 5 on the weekend. is the next lloyd. newton is struggling to get a game
mclean AND stanton are even
jones has not much upside wheras lonners has plentty
Remiers and Ryder are the next supertsarts of the comp youd think. a lot of upside there. Ryder has a massive vertical leap and remiers is so tough he reminds of the DONS from the 80s glory days. In fact I have nicknamed him the ENFORCER! Houli, Nash solid midfield brigade rmeinds of the JJ and Solly days of the 2000 flags hard niuts. Dempsey will be a star and Lovett is like the next Longy. As I said this year for the DONs reminds me a lot of the Sheeds baby Bombers in the early 90s right now were probably in te 92 phase so next year would realistically be our first tilt at the flag. I was hoping top 4 for this year but injuires has gotten in the way. having lucas out hasnt helped at all. but with him back as evdidenced in the last few weeks we have pushed a seasoned side like adelaide to the brink and finishiehd off a side that won the flag a few years ago in west coast (and they could have won last year) all this points to the making of a dynasty. if you pay attention Ill think youll see that. as peter jackson said last night 2010 is our flag year i dont think there any doubting that but whos to say with an extra hard preseason we could not do it next year. 93 showed it was possible

Is this thread still about Cale Morton or about Essendon's youngsters?

If you wanna talk your bias shit go back to your own board and do it.

Yes he is an absolute idiot & troll, but he isn't a Bomber supporter, he posts crap so people will bag the Bombers.

We don't want him on the Bomber board either, trolls like him aren't welcome.

 

[cannons]

You have made a multitude of assertions, none of which are definite or even probable.

Remiers the next superstar of the game? If you say so.....

Mclean and Stanton even? I know who I would rather have

I agree on Newton and Neagle though, I think Neagle may have him covered at this point.

The quote I have highlighted is particularly ironic. Firstly you say he's been injured so you can't make a judgement on him. So what do you do? Make a judgement saying he'll probably be better than Bate.

Please, in future, try to be more objective. Not every youngster at Essendon has 'a lot of upside' when compared with every other team's youngsters.

Don't be so rude to all the well meaning kids out there, surely "mental home escape" would be more likely. It was fun to go along with him for a few posts, then I realised how delusional he was and managed to shut him down, either way I wasn't getting back in to his crap.
