Keep him at the back of your mind and watch for NAB Cup form. He is a very talented player. | ||||

Morabito close to AFL return
| ||||
| NEWS: Morabito has now played 3 consecutive games at WAFL level and getting much closer to a senior match with Fremantle. During his rehabilitation he has been concentrating on his inside game and told AFL.com.au this week "When I was playing AFL in my first year I was never really a stoppage sort of player, I was always that outside winger where you can get out and run. But with the year off I was able to have a bit more of a look at David Mundy and these sorts of guys in terms of their stoppage work and I was able to pick up little things that help a player like that. In the past I haven't really made a conscious effort with it, but now I'm aware that I have a stronger body than a few people. If I can [win my own ball] and then spread and get it on the outside, I'll be very confident in my football. From now on that's something that I'm going to pride myself on." | ||||
| ||||
| NEWS: Don't expect to see Morabito anytime soon though with Fremantle Coach Ross Lyon saying on Friday "The plan is for four games in the WAFL and then he will be available for senior selection. Anthony is really comfortable with that, it's doing the right thing. We were really patient with our other guys coming back from long-term injury and we'll take the same approach with Anthony. Hopefully he punches out his 10km of work [on Saturday] and he builds from there." | ||||
| ||||
| NEWS: The good news is that Morabito will play this weekend in the WAFL for the Peel Thunder reserves, but is expected to spend several weeks at lower level as he adjusts to playing professional football again. Morabito said on Tuesday, "I'd like to think that I've run very good volumes, so when I get a fair bit of confidence and change of direction and all that, I'd like to think at the back end of the year I'd be able to have a fair impact," | ||||
| ||||
| NEWS: Matthew Pavlich speaking to SEN radio discussed "Anthony Morabito and Michael Barlow are likely to, potentially, play a game this week or certainly have a really strong match simulation session tomorrow." Morabito has been suffering from a quad strain over the past few weeks. | ||||
