Morabito to play WAFL reserves

[valkorum]

i just read on fremantlefc twitter that Mora will be playing WAFL reserves this weekend

[Cicjose]

do you think we will see morabito playing for Fremantle in the first month of the season Valk?

my guess is a month of football at WAFL level and if he plays well a comeback into fremantle at about round 5 or 6

[valkorum]

That sounds about right - he hasnt completed all of the pre-season so will take a bit of time to get back up to speed.  Keep in mind that this weekend he is only playing reserves.  I think he will need up to 4 league games to be ready to step back in to AFL (IMO most likely he will be the sub or be subbed)

[Cicjose]

so he's not likely to get regular meaningful minutes until after the bye if all goes to plan....... hmmmm

Is he a possiblilty for a solid M7 role as ok scoring bench cover?

[Cicjose]

it depends his starting price is 168K so if he comes back just before the bye and has a sub based score he could be a worthwhile downgrade option.
