    Have we ever lost a game when Morton starts on the ground?

    Can't think of any?

    Freo being the closest.

    Not sure. But morton is a natural forward, so much so he stands out on our forward line.

    One thing I've noticed is that he hardly ever gets out marked. Even up against 2 players he manages to get the ball to ground

    The coaches would be stupid to not play him every week no matter what. Morton, Tippett, Reid, McGlynn. Awesome forward line IMO.

    Don't think I'll call the Premiership Coaching Team that, but I really like MM.

    Yesterday was the first h&a game in which he didn't start as the sub so given we won all our finals last year the answer to your question is a resounding NO

    Pretty sure he started on the ground last week and was subbed?

    Can our forward line work with both McGlynn & Morton in there?

    Benny was brilliant friday night and Mitch was very good too I thought. With Benny spending more time up the ground I think it worked quite well. Mitch is only going to get better and better as his confidence grows and he feels more at home so that's a yes from me.

    I think boltons position would be more in jeopardy.

    No chance the coaches really rate Bolton's talking in the forward 50. The fact he is also kicking goals is a bonus
