      Absolutely, Jetts' field kicking is A1, beautifully weighted kicks to advantage and shows outstanding vision.
      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

        The thing with Jetta is that even when he's having a quiet game, he can still break things open with just a handful of possessions.

          2 kicks to the Fwd 50 were perfectly weighted passes, and 1 to Goodes from the D50 was a big heave ho, that again found it's target.
          He's getting better and better.

          And as Liz said, small number of possessions can still have a great impact.

            Forgive me for not knowing, but how old is Morton? If we are able to reinvent him into the kind of player we value at this club, how many years is he likely to be able to contribute for?

                25 I think. Good 5 years out of him I'd say if he turns out alright.
                We've got him in his prime.

                  Caution folks..it was the trash time of the game..Doggies had their tails between their legs and we were doing as we liked.
                  He did what was expected, and did it well,but our opposition by then was traffic cones.

                    As I mentioned in a different thread Morton was great as a cameo - i was a little perturbed that when Hanners was running into goal, Morton chose to look for a handball over the top rather than shepherd. I think he will be reminded about this during the review. Apart from that he has terrific

                      I thought Morton was actually in the right there. He wasn't in the right position to shepherd, he was behind the guy, but he was in perfect position for a lob over the top and a run into goal, which Hanners ignored (luckily for him he slotted it!). If Morton and Hanners had been in the opposite positions, we'd all be berating Morton for being so selfish.

                        I agree i think that last quarter of his was good and seeing that he deserves another chance to play a full game vs the hawks.

                          Problem with Morton playing a full game is I can't figure out who should be the sub. All players that started yesterday will have important roles to play against the Hawks.

                          Morton to be the Sub again for mine.

                            My nephews girlfriend is a Richmond supporter. She said if he was at Richmond he would have gone back to take the shot, but he spotted Mummy and passed perfectly. You could see he was intent on doing the team thing. The coaches haven't been easy on him and it has taken him a long time to get a gig. I am happy to continue with him. It appears it is either him of Spangher going forward. We were a bit surprised that he didn't start on the ground.

                              You are right morton sub again it takes alot of pressure of him as sub he is still learning the swans forward setup and we can bring him on as required.
