agreed - his pace and ability to gain ground on oppenents was exciting. looks really fresh and always gives a contest. He also seems to be adjusting well to the pace of the game.

That's one of the impressive things, he's so hard at the contest and the man with the ball that he's putting that refered pressure on in the backline. Nice hard edge coming in to the backs with Rance, Grimes, Morris and young Ellis so hard at the contest.

Stuff the nay sayers. After watching the replay I liked how he often found himself in the right position for linking and would often follow up disposals with a bump or shepherd. Great pace and tackling. Comparing his first game to his third, it's obvious decision making and disposal efficiency comes down to experience. He'll be right and a real ripper of a defender  :thumbsup

Actually understand the point Mick was trying to make

After round 1 there were obvious question marks on his disposal and though each week there's been improvement the question marks remain IMHO over his disposal by foot

 
I wasn't sold on Morris in his first game but he seems to be picking up the pace of AFL seniors very quickly and I'm happy with what he's shown so far.



Absolutely agree smokey

why were there obvious question marks on his disposal after round 1?

I really enjoy the hard edge he brings to the team. Along with Batch, they are making it tough for the opposition small forwards! :thumbsup
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Because IMV al his first instinct seems to be to handball rather than kick and I think you may find that that it was kicking in round 1 that was the weakness. It certainly appeared that way at the game

He really did get thrown in the deep end first game against Carlton who are thrashing everyone.  He did alright.  He is finding his feet fast.
