Mitch MORTON

2013 Digest:   One of the more fascinating stories to emerge from last year’s Grand Final. A cut above the rest in the state competition then slipped into the senior side just before the finals and played in a premiership team. Where to from here? Had a couple of recent niggles but OK now.

2013 NAB Cup:   Niggling injuries have meant he hasn’t played til the weekend in reserves practice game.
