The end result is the same, but I would have Ibbo fill jonno's role, then drop morra into Ibbo's spot. Ibbo is a better intercept mark / loose defender than morra and plays more like jonno does ...leaving morra to take rotations from HB to a midfield wing, where he belongs.

Not really a good source but understandable that Mora may look for other opportunities if he gets no game time this year.
I'm still hoping they give him a shot soon.

I would doubt he would leave after the support the club has given him. 3 recos would normally spell delist.

Can't imagine may clubs wanting to take a risk on him. And any person that would turn their back on a club that stood by them over three knee reconstructions would be the biggest flog since Tony Abbott.
And I really don't think Mora is a flog because the club wouldn't have stood by him if he was. Therefore i deduce that he's not going anywhere

Think the west australian is full of it with this article.
As if a bloke that has had 3 knee reco's expects to come straight in then has a hissy fit and looks at leaving..
As Lyon says, he needs the game time & fitness. 10-15 games over 3 years is not much footy.
He will play this year at some point, so no stress here. Most likely vs GWS I think. Smokie for next week if puts up good numbers again

Great journalism Nick Rynne

The wiggles would take a punt,I reckon.
This. Was just about to write the same thing. ( but not as well.)
it doesn't seem completely unrealistic that he is frustrated. The guy has been waiting 3 years to play.
I must confess to being puzzled also. There seems to be mixed messages coming from the club.
This would have been a perfect week to bring him back as a sub.

"The West Australian understands the 22-year-old, who signed a one-year contract extension late last season, has become increasingly frustrated at the lack of opportunity in recent weeks and has so far declined to enter discussions regarding a new deal."
ffs. "Understands". This line is the only substance this article has, and it is weak at best. I understand he is frustrated too. Right now, his value is at its much less than if he finishes the season with 5 senior games with 15+ disposals. I would be doing the exact same thing, and it wouldn't mean i would be ready to say "screw you guys, i'm going home". The club would have discussed this with Mora, and I think they would also be looking to put of contract to years end to see how he goes.
must have been a slow news day.

rubbish article
I'm not shooting the messenger
Mora will be in the team soon.
he should be in there now.
he will be best 22 within 3 weeks & not lose his spot again.
go buddy!!!
This says it all to me, in my opinion this means he is still building his fitness and they have lined him up to play in 2-3 weeks when he is 100%.
They would have discussed this with Mora and he knows exactly what he has to do to get a game. I have absolute faith in the Freo coaching and fitness group.
They have an expression in American that you are better of playing a college kid 1 year too late than 1 year too early, and I think this is what Freo is doing with Mora and making sure his is cherry ripe when they play him.
"He's making the ground quickly, he's certainly starting to have output that entitles him to play some AFL footy. But he's still in a building phase."
The Dockers would be unlikely to unleash Morabito in next week's western derby, meaning his next opportunity to break into the line-up would be the round-16 game against Melbourne in Darwin.

With regard to the bolded, one thing that I'm pondering is maybe they don't want him playing in a derby the eagles will be treating as their grand final.
Once they bring him in there will be an expectation he will get at least a few games in a row, so they could be waiting until Melbourne onwards in case the derby ends up being a bit fiercer than some here are expecting.
But I'm probably overthinking it and the reality is Lyon is just genuinely unsentimental and won't pick him as long as he thinks he has better options.
Yep we don't deal in sentimentals.

The West Australian understands...
There's the first lie right there.

why would he sign
his value would be very low, if he is able to come back and have an impact he could easily demand a 2year deal on much better $$
and if the worst was to happen and he does his knee in again this year he would be retiring

He's still chewing on the mandible of that guy who asked how much we'll thrash Brissy by.
Methinks they might tiptoe around this one.

If he wasn't frustrated or disappointed he isn't getting a game I would be more worried...you want players hungry and desperate to play..

That's a shame Nick wrote that, I am quite certain he is/was a freo supporter. When he was doing a regional journalism post I actually got to know him quite well, never mates though. His journalism was normally credible, articulate, insightful and generally well received.
Unforetunately we had a bit of a to-do, his apparent 'missus' at the time wasnt too shabby and enjoyed the 'attention' of yours truelly. If I knew she had a partner then I would not have gone near her.
LIFE LESSON: Even if she acts and appears single she may have a partner. Always check, this helps ensure that drama is avoided later down the track.
