MELBOURNE young gun Cale Morton says the long-term prospect of achieving a Daniher-like feat and playing State of Origin football for Western Australia with oldest brother Mitch (Richmond) and middle sibling Jarryd (Hawthorn) excites him.

Morton, who has played every match for Melbourne this season after being drafted at No.4 in last year's NAB AFL Draft, was asked his thoughts after the Hall of Fame Tribute Match reignited talk about State of Origin football.

"Down the track, that'd be great, but at the moment, we're so far away from achieving that - whether or not WA forms a side again in the years to come," Morton told melbournefc.com.au.

"I think it'd be hugely optimistic to say that we'd (the brothers) all play together … for a State of Origin side.

"But in three or four years, and a lot more development, it may become a possibility. But at the moment, we've never mentioned it to each other in conversation.

"We all played state football for WA in junior level, but if we keep developing and years down the track - who knows? If WA had a side, it'd be great for the family to have one player picked."

Now the three Morton boys are in Melbourne, Cale sees his two brothers (who live together) regularly. He said they offer him great support.

"It's great having them over here … for a shoulder [to lean on] and someone to speak to, and a listening ear and some understanding from a football perspective," Morton said. 

"Jarryd started his career in Melbourne, as a first year player, so he's been terrific in the sense of living in Melbourne, and Mitch through the expectations of the draft."

Morton represented Western Australia at under-18 with distinction and won the Michael Larke Medal last year for division one's best player in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. He spoke of his involvement with the title winning team.

"It was great because it wasn't probably the first time I'd played in a team where everybody understood their role and what they could for the team - not what they could themselves to have a great game. They were out there genuinely for the team," Morton said.

"The game style was so team-oriented and everyone looks good and plays better when their playing for the team. We played a style where some people thought we'd been playing together for a year, but it had only been six weeks - it was astonishing.

"It was great to be a part of that and I think some of the boys will go quite far with their footy on the basis that they're willing to play for the team".

One of his teammates from that side was exciting ruckman Nick Naitanui, who is regarded as the player most likely to be chosen at No.1 in this year's AFL Draft.

Morton has no doubt his former under-18 teammate will prosper in the AFL.

"He's definitely an exciting player with lots of potential. This year is going to be really important for him to whether he's going to take the next step or not - I think he will personally, because he has a great attitude and he loves the game," Morton said.

"Being a great friend of his, I know he's got the backing and support, so I think he'll make it."

Morton returned home during the bye week and relished the opportunity to return to Lake Grace, in the Western Australian wheatbelt, 353km south-east of Perth.

"It was something I was really excited about because I hadn't been back for such a long time. Mitch came - unfortunately Jarryd was playing in the VFL - so [Mitch] made plans to come back, even though his flights weren't covered by the AFL," Morton said.

"We headed back on Thursday night and I had Friday in Perth, before heading off on Saturday morning on a four-hour trip to Lake Grace. It was great to bond and speak with people I hadn't spoken to before the process of coming up through the ranks of junior footy.

"I played junior footy with those guys as an 11 or 12-year-old and I didn't speak to them for a huge block of my life … so to see them again and speak to them  … was great.

"I think it's a great initiative from the AFL and it was great to get back there - we weren't there for long enough as we headed back up to Perth on Saturday night - and then we flew out on Sunday, about midday."
