mitch morton

interesting rumour I found on BF

apparently we are in talks with Mitch Morton from the weagles about a possible trade

Just thought id post this here. A very reliable source in W.A has stated that Mitch Morton held talks with the Richmond footy club on Friday afternoon in regards to a trade at the end of the season. Both Eagles and Morton have decided to part ways it seems with us looking for a deal to net your 2nd round or pick 17 in the draft.

From what I heard also Mark Coughlan wants to leave and Eagles may package Morton with a deal to get him if Cogs is eager and isnt tempted over to Fremantle instead.

can anyone confirm

is morton any good,
if he has a bit of potential, direct swap 4 cogs would be gr8

cogs is finished

[mightytiges]

He's only played 11 games in 3 years on the West Coast list. He was their Father-Son pick in the 2004 draft and was rated a "top 10" pick pre-draft if he hadn't gone F/S. He hasn't lived up to those expectations. Giving up pick 18 or 19 for what is a fringe player would be just repeating the mistakes of the past.

I know we rate his younger brother Cale in the top 3 of this year's draft.

As for Cogs, he has settled in Melbourne. Just makes me think this rumour is crap. It's approaching that time of year again

cogs maybe settled in melbourne, but i reckon a direct swap would be ok, what has cogs done in the last 3 yrs? not much except have 2 knee recos.

maybe we can do a direct swap and have both brothers play for us if the eagles dont go for Cale

If Morton wants to go we'll get him for free in the PSD. No deal required.

i know morton has a good and skillfull reputation, but i have a feeling there will be bigger and better fish to catch for free in the draft

if we can trade an injury prone overrated underskilled player like cogs and do a direct swap, i say go 4 it

[Gordon Bennett]

He had a big rep as a 17 yo. I'm surprised he hasn't played more games. The fact that WC have had such a great midfield over recent years has made it harder. Apparently in 2006 he had injury problems.
It's hard to monitor WAFL form from here, so I have no idea how his form has been.He could be ready, at 20yo, to burst onto the scene in a big way.
Well worth getting, I'd say, but at what price? Is pick 18 too much?

direct swap for cogs or krak

or krak and cogs for morton and a draft pick

[julzqld]

Does Krak want to go back to WA?  I would have thought it would be the last place he'd want to go back to (with the exception of family).

whispers say he wants to go to adelaide, but it shoudl be our call, his wife comes from WA and im sure he will settle back in WA ok, just have to keep an eye out on his back!

Seems as though it has been reported on 6PR according to PRE.

PR who?

isnt there alot of poo up there? and very smelly ? even if you are a vegetarian

lol and dont eat eggs

[tiga]

My crap-O-meter (from k-tel) is going berzerk after reading this one. Why would the Eagles want another midfielder when they already have Judd, Kerr, Cousins, Priddis, Fletcher, Rosa as well as utility players like Braun, Jones and Embley??????

Talk about trying to sell ice to the Eskimo's. 


This is laughable!

[one-eyed]

Eagles forum saying Morton has asked the Eagles he wants to come to Richmond. He's contracted for one more year so that can only happen via a trade. Perhaps wants to join his brother Cale? Hawthorn board on BF said he's also spoken to Hawthorn as his brother Jarryd is on their list.

Eagles forum also saying Richmond has sounded out Beau Wilkes who will join for free since he most likely won't be upgraded from their rookie list. Perhaps we may rookie list him.

Beau Wilkes
DOB: 20th Mar 1986
From: Claremont    
Height: 194 cm    Weight: 91 kg

both wilkes and morton sound good and dont sound like they will cost much
