She will be able to achieve this goal if the Bombers can win their first premiership since 1998 when they face up to the Western Storm in the State League decider at Aurora Stadium tomorrow.
Mrs Morton, who was elevated for legend status at the club in May, is the club's longest serving board member, who first started working in its kiosk in 1954.
She said it would be ''wonderful'' if the Zane Littlejohn coached class of 2014, which includes her great-nephew Daniel Roozendaal, could collect the ultimate prize.
''It would be the greatest if they could win,'' Mrs Morton said.
''Due to ill health I've had to give a bit away this year [in terms of involvement with the club], but being able to sit back and watch the boys has been great.
''It will be hard for them, but I think the Storm have had a lot more tougher games than we have, and I reckon we will win by about 36 points.''
Another interested on-looker with red and black running through his veins will be David Thompson.
Thompson, a former under 19s and reserves player, runner, committee member and match manager who began his involvement with the club in 1961, said there was one thing that made North Launceston such a special organisation.
''It's the friendships is what keeps bringing you back,'' he said.
''It is the people you grew up with, the people that you played with and most of people running the club played here, and you have a few sons and grand kids playing here.
''Zane has achieved beyond what I would expected, but he's the best man for the job [tomorrow] as he knows what is in front of him.
''I'm expecting it to be a hard, fast, last man standing game, which will be alive in the last quarter and it will be the fitness that will tell.
''It will be close, about 18 points.''
