He commits too hard to the contest, too.  Runs 100% and sometimes gets caught out.

I can live with those sort of things.

he sounds like he could do some of the work that jackson is supposed to do at half the cost.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Watch the games for yourself and then make that conclusion.  One incident of play was where he was running full pelt at a grounded ball.  His opponent slowed down in time to pick it up, and have an unopposed snap at goal because Morris had run 10 metres over the ball.

Could be any number of reasons for that one incident - if hes quick, agile, committed and firece at the contest he has the necessary tools to try and work with

That's not necessarily a problem Danog, that's what can (and will) be taught.  The fact it's a trait is a serious plus.

I take what I said back about his disposal.  It's not iffy, it's shocking.

Nearly every coach i ever had said they'd rather you hit the ball hard and miss it than go half hearted.

the kicking is a concern.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

There's a difference between going half-hearted and being too stupid to slow down a fraction when the ball is just ahead of you.

so your talking about timing?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

It's a lot easier to understand what I'm saying if you watch the games..

Search for West Adelaide.  Morris is number 38.  Easy to spot him because of his hair.

He had a kicking efficiency of about 78% and a disposal efficiency of 83% over 18 games in the SANFL this year.

But hey, I'm sure the RFC boys only looked at his Foxtel Mickey Mouse Cup games and just got him to handball when he came over for training ::)

He's doesn't have elite skills but they're not "shocking" LMAO

I know all of that.  Watch the games.  In these games, he is terrible.
