Posterior cruciate ligament is better than Anterior cruciate ligament, at least it isn't season ending.
Recover well young Cale.

Just saw a article on the Herald sun website. He will miss up to 10 weeks. This is a ok result considering he was at risk of doing his ACL which means a reconstruction and 12 months out of the game. Count ourselves lucky it's only 10 weeks, if though it is disappointing.
He may miss 10 weeks, the Herald Sun article is far too premature.
I'd wait for a report from the club before you believe anything about a time frame for Morton's injury.

This is great news if true considering the possibility of an ACL.

So glad its not the year over we really need to get as many games as possible into the younger guys. I know Cale has 40+ games but to start working along with the new guys is vital.
I guess I wont have to bother with game reviews for a while.

The positive is with round 1 still 4 weeks away he should get back to play >50% of the season. It hurts because we really need to be getting game time into the important players of the future and Morton is right at the top of that list. Fingers crossed that this is the worst of our preseason injuries.

Hopefully this means Trengove get's 100% garenteed game time in the centre from round 1 onward. (hopeful for Scully to play early too)
Although I was hoping for just a sprained ankle, glad it isn't an ACL.
Hopefully he can still spend time in the gym doing upper body stuff because although I think he's put on a little weight he is still thin.

Afternoon. Maybe he gould get a bionic knee and kick goal from fullback.
Bionic knee or not he'll still have twig arms.

This is the last thing we "kneed" - get it?
But in all seriousness I was really annoyed at this news... It's his 3rd year and with 40 games under his belt I expected this year to be a breakout year for him.. most top draft picks start putting it all together at the age of 21.. really dissappointing...
I hope this doesn't affect him in the future..

Where's that slime of a human being Hutchy when you need him for once. He's fallen asleep in the bush, microphone grasped tightly in hand still.

Belanglo Forest can be tricky this time of year.
Except I am not a hater.
So 8 to 10 weeks confirmed for Morton. Plus the below from the Melb website. Injury situation is not great at the moment, a few players there that will need match conditioning and maybe VFL time before being close to ready.
Just have to go with the standard "this presents opportunities for other blokes to step up" cliche I suppose...

Yeah I know it was a joke but you do have to admit you have hated Mortons twigness since the day he was drafted.
I would have to have seen 20-30 posts where you mention what a twig he is.
Got a pic of him for you from when he was first drafted:
Could you call that a good bit of slapstick?
I think not
No doubt I hate his twigness but that would be the only thing I hate about Cale Morton.
You have severe problems if you didn't hate his twigness.

True, after every pre season I have a picture in my mind of a beefed up Morton then the training pics come through & all I can say is:
