Morabito question

Would you believe that I was trying to make SCOOP feel better about his mistake by making a deliberate error of confusing Morabito's jumper number with a possession statistic :theyareontome
Smoking Aces said:
Is hand span the beep test as the draft camp result that gets quoted ad nauseum?
Col.W.Kurtz said:
:hihi
SCOOP doesn't need any help in feeling better. His self congratulatory posts are enough for him.
Col.W.Kurtz said:
He will test well Morabito. My hope is that the Demons fall in love with things like hand span, arm length and growth spans and take Morabito at 2, leaving us the better footballer in Trengove. :nodyes

It's a massive call ToO but Goodes is the only player I can think of in the same mould. For years we have had guys get pushed off the ball and manhandled, Morabito will be able to compete with the bodies size from Round 1. He won't have the tank to run out entire games and will get pushed off the ball because he is cannot run out games but after three seasons this bloke could be a 192cm, 96kg ruck rover with pace to burn.
I only saw a few highlight clips of Morabito, but he seems fairly handy around goal. Does he kick many goals?
Bob surely you know deep down that isnt going to happen now. A miracle would prevent Trengove from being a Melbourne player.Tigerbob said:

Please, the amount of sprays I get round here, I need to remind people I do get them right. ;D
I would take Trengove over Morabito but it won't happen. And I would not be unhappy with AM. Could be the best of the bunch of this draft class but is a pretty sure thing to be a really good AFL player.

Never say never my good man. Learnt that a long time ago.

I have a bad feeling about this.......

You deserve sprays for your damn Morabito love.
I am not sold on this kid. Want to hear about how he interviews, his personality and his decision making under pressure. Everytime I see this kid, he just doesn't seem clean. Scully, Trengove, Martin are all clean. This kid, I have that bad feeling about.
Don't get me wrong, he is a talent a definite top prospect, maybe it has to do with our track record of developing these types, I dunno. Not convinced, yet.
I have only seen 'highlights' of him so I cant really comment but one thing I did notice was that his kicking style is very Leon Cameron like. Very fluent with both feet.Tigers of Old said:

Just my opinion, he moves (glides) like Pendlebury from Collingwood.
Kicks it like Leon Cameron.
Watch his highlights and observe his footy nous around the congestion. Remarkable. He will often get the ball, feed it off, make a better position for himself, receive the ball back and deliver it brilliantly.
Keep the Morabito push up Scooper. Good to see him not instantly dismissed for us at 3 like he has unfairly been on here all season.
He deserves to be on every bit an even keel with very fine prospects in Trengrove & Martin ILO.
Impact on games wise He'll give those two a start next season but could round them up inside 3 years.
& if he does just look out for the next 10.

Had a look at the 'reel bobby and can see why you like him. You can see the kid has plenty of ability.
Not so sure about the Pendlebury comparison as I don't see the speed and he might find disposal a bit tougher at AFL level but still think he'll be a player.
Preferred Trengrove in that respect as I am sure most do. Plays with a bit more urgency.
SCOOP said:
Just saw the vids on him too.
I really like his pace and athleticism but disposal immediately stands out as a little shaky. Not sure I saw him hit a target cleanly but unfair to judge just from 'highlight' clips.
You mentioned Goodes as a bit of a comparison but Adam has always had a great kick on him, can you say the same for AM?
Also does Morabito have the ability to hold down a KP do you think Scoop? If he can then he could be a great get as a modern utility.
First impressions to me though he moves like S. Burgoyne without the polish.
So not sure I'd take him at three based on the few clips I saw.
Other teams can take punt on X-Factors, we need footballers and I'm not sure he's one first and foremost.
Tigers of Old said:
I prefer Trengove for one main reason. He has massive leadership potential. Born leader and they don't come cheaply.
I don't really associate pace with Pendles either, he just glides around the turf, like he is floating around, I see Martin quite similar.
Martin has that uncanny ability to always find time and space for himself, never seems rushed and your right he will find disposal a bit tougher at the next level, but once he builds strenght and stamina, I expect it to improve.
Martin's footy nous is first rate. Knows where to run and when, times it perfectly, everytime. Also he is just so clean. Pure footballer.
He is no midget either. 187cm and a good chunk of a lad. Like Trengove and Scully, he's just a Footballer's footballer.
If Trengove has gone, it would take a millisecond for me to announce this guy at pick 3.
Tigerbob said:
Based purely on the clips, I think I'd do the same. Trengrove also looks mighty impressive.
I know I've asked this before but any chance the Dees will spring a surprise and take a combination of Trengrove/Morrabito/Martin and Scully falls to 3 or is he a lock?
