Those three are all inside players however, although Conca looks like he might possibly play an outside role.
Morton has been trained to play and outside mid role, an area we lack quality in.

Midfielders need to go somewhere when they are not on the ball , not all can be on the interchange bench especially since there is one less in 2011. The great thing about Morton is we know that when he is not in the midfield he becomes a great forward option and because he will rotate through there he will not get the top defenders like he used to when permanant forward . If he plays midfield and kicks 20-25 goals as well its a massive win.TigerFurious said:
If you look at Collingwood this year they got lots of goals from Didak , Thomas and Sidebottom none of whom were permanent forwards . That's what Morton can do for us .
Morton in the midfield is our ACE card.
ANyone suggesting he go back to the forward line needs to re-watch rnd 22 or 18-22 for that matter to see what he can do.
Great delivery inside 50, goal kicker...big body!
28 touches 3 goals v Port off the wing says it alll.
Don't think Grigg or Houli are as good as Morton on the wing and won't replace him.
Conca Martin Morton
Cotchin, Foley
Edwards, Tuck, Jackson, Grigg, Houli backing up....loving life!

Our midfield needs a bolster. I made the comment that if Prestia plays we win tonight. Shows we need to add another A Grade midfielder to our mix this off season. We are light on here especially if one is out injured.
Agree. Think our biggest problem is our lack of pure midfielders. Apart from Cotchin who is cooked who else do we have as a genuine midfielder? Martin spends a lot of time up fwd as does Bolton. Edwards not really a pure mid. Lambert another. Jack Graham maybe but he doesnt accumulate possessions. We need a Cunnington type.
Do a Geelong and get into his ear then.
If its good enough for Geelong, its good enough for us.
Can't rely on Cotchin and Prestia.
We need to package up some of our picks and use them to get Green or Tarranto.
And if that means we lose a few to fit either in, so be it.
