Rumour mill is that Freo will contest Mora's charges

Yeh and they've had a bit of luck there lately.

QuoteANTHONY Morabito's comeback to senior football could be further delayed after the Fremantle midfielder elected to challenge a possible suspension arising from last weekend's WAFL clash.

If morabito gets banned for just a run of the mill bump like this then our game is in really big trouble.
I saw it as a player winning the ball,Claremont,two peel players tackle hi and he is being dragged down as Morabito tries to win the ball.As the Claremont players goes to ground a collision occurs.Maybe a free kick but play on for mine.

RTB said he is a good chance to play in the senior side if charges are cleared even if not cleared means he is not far away

Good downgrade target soon? After the bye maybe?

anchorman · April 29, 2014, 10:13:08 PM

Mora got the all clear and is free to play this weekend be it for Peel or Fremantle.

What is the deal with Crowley guys?

What's the chances Mora will get a game for Freo now that he's off? Vest candidate?

Have heard whispers he is struggling a bit with general soreness which would explain a lot.

Ross said last week he was a long way off being at the required level to play AFL. Basically he has missed 3 years of footy so it isn't something he can build to over a few weeks or months. It will take time to be able to run out full games. So if he does play I would guess he will cop vests most games.

Yeah crazy that he has let 6 out of 6 opponents get over 20+ touches this year that he has gone up against.

That would make sense.

Was hoping he had lost his touch for fantasy reasons and Jelwood reasons haha. Knew that was unlikely!

As I said... if he plays he will most likely start as sub

Toga · April 30, 2014, 11:13:22 PM

Yeah I thought he would still lack a bit of conditioning, that's why I asked (and after seeing Ross' comment).

But yeah sounds like he would be a prime vest candidate anyways so probably won't be the downgrade option many would hope from him. Even if he did crack in (as vest) would his JS still be pretty ordinary?
