you dont think getting picked up by Sydney 1st, then playing in the 2's all year and getting a call up because of injury to someone else isnt lucky.. On the context as being a premiership player?
Lucky to get picked up? No, not really. He won a Michael Roach Medal. Who got injured which led to his call up? He played rounds 21 & 22 as the sub while Ben McGlynn was in the side. They both played in the Qualifying Final and Morton played a much better game than what McGlynn produced. McGlynn was then injured for the Prelim and Granny. But if you reckon Morton would have been dropped after the QF where he had 5 tackles, 14 touches and a few goals then that's fine
He wasn't lucky. He killed it in the reserves (pretty average comp but you can only play who you're up against) and worked his arse off when he got his chance at the top level. He earned his premiership medallion with some important goals.
