More on Morton

Agree Tango. A backline including these three has the makings to get bye if we can stop the ball coming in so often. I have a feeling that Patto could become a CHB and hold that down successfully. As you point out we need mids and desparately need another ruckman. My choice r'man of those likely to be recruitable is Moran.Tango said:
that means moreton is your athletic utility, a bit like andrew embley
this type of player is an icing on the cake type which works well with the eagles because they have cox, judd, kerr, cousins.....
what we need is the flour in the middle, the substance that allows the icing to stick
we need a hard nose big bodied mid who wins his own ball, tackles, chases and blocks and stands up under pressure - he protects and brings players like lids, foley & tambo into the game.
im not sure who that player is in the draft but thats what we need

Yes but you generally don't have to use ridiculously high draft picks to get those types either. Go for pure talent with pick 2 say, Cotchin or Morton and then use picks 18 and 19 on maybe a Selwood/Veszpremi/Ward and Gaertner/Simpson/Gourdis. That's unless we trade pick 19 and a player to upgarde to another first rounder which would be awesome.Tango said:
Next year we go for a Naitanui/Yarran/Rich/Suban combo with our early picks and suddenly the house is looking a lot tidier
Don't get to see the juniors play Phantom, but I wouldn't be to keen on sticking tags on under 18 kids like Voss or Hird or Kouta before they even start.Phantom said:
Guess the question to be asked is why isn't he being called as number one contender if he is to be claimed as Kouta like.

In the minds of quite a few of the recruiters, he is no.1
But most also believe that Carlton will pick on "need" before "ability".
Besides, Carlton know that if they don't pick Kreuzer first, we will.
They also know that if they pick Kreuzer first, we will most likely go for Cotchin.
That leaves Morton to them anyway.
NO WAY...Hurn has shown glimpses but he aint no game breaker...LudicrousCptJonno2Madcow2005 said:

the player your describing is masten, would be a hell of an upgrade on the johnson/tuck setup we have atm, he is my 2nd choice after cotchin
your morton descripton is spot on, a luxury type who will only do as well as what the others around him are, his height is sexy but he has stuff all chance of being a genuine kpp
Phantom said:
morton or palmer
they already have their masten types like priddis and stenglein, with judd leaving they will go for a bit more pace and game breaking quality
just because west coast are in love with morton doesnt mean he is the fit for us
I think Judd's decision has made me lean alot further towards Cotchin over Morton. Don't wanna put all this time into a kid and have him say i miss my family and friends and want to go home. Cotchin for me
Is that righttaraba said:Apparently so does GMCC TIGER said:Gee I like the sound of this Morton kid
maybe he likes somebody else more ;D
