Steven Morris [merged]

[Eat_em_Alive]

Where is my mate mm theses day??









oh thats right perusing through visy contracts for 2013 

[Penelope]

And we got Morris from a one place swap of picks 

Just an awesome player who, like some of my other favourite players - King & Rance, never skirts a contest and pushes himself to win every contest and help his team mates. Tough and tenacious, Morris has many of the same traits Cotchin....just without the same level of ability 

Champion - Malthouse obviously made a terrible call with this fellow 

That's sacrilegious stripes, to accuse the messiah of making a terrible call.
He was just being controversial, thats his job.

[Chuck17]

thats disgraceful to talk about our new coach like that

[Loui Tufga]

Agree, stop poo storing him now, you might scare him away

[georgies31]

I f only we had another lot of this guy gives us 110% always.Had a great game strong overhead and goes in hard always.

[Big Papa Bear]

Needs to get rid of ball before he runs out of space. Can turn the ball over short when under pressure. But in the scheme of things at least he goes in hard and hurts the opposition as much as himself.

Just needed to line up Crowley or Ballantyne

[gerkin greg]

Helbig just about picked Balla up and threw him into the top deck

Loving the cannonball's work at the minute. The bloke simply has no fear and he attacks the footy as though as it's his last. That smother on Crameri in the first quarter which we then ran up for a goal was inspirational. A 12-point play. Things like that a momentum changes and win you games of footy.

THERE have been 118 debutants this season. But, if you ask Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson, the Rising Star award is a lock to head to Daniel Talia.

The Crows defender is a hot favourite despite playing nine games last year and joining the club in 2010.

He will not have to compete with GWS ball magnet Toby Greene, who was ruled ineligible with a one-match suspension earlier this year, and football experts have been quick to criticise the criteria for the award.

“Who’s going to be the better player (Greene or Talia) in five years?” North Melbourne champion David King asked today.

To win the AFL’s award you must enter the season aged 21 or under and have played 10 or fewer games.

That means Talia also doesn’t have to compete with mature-aged recruits such as Tory Dickson, Sam Gibson, Jon Giles and Dayne Zorko – despite those players entering this season with no AFL experience.

We’ve compiled a list of 10 nominees to find out who you think is the best first-year player of 2012.

The criteria is short and simple: to be eligible you must have made your AFL debut this season - that means even Israel Folau is in the mix.

And yes, Toby Greene is also in the running. And that means Talia, like with Mitch Wallis, aren't due to that pair making their debuts last season.

Read the profiles below and vote now on who you think is the best first-year player of 2012.

2. TORY DICKSON (Western Bulldogs) - Games: 16 Goals: 22 Behinds: 9

3. JAMIE ELLIOTT (Collingwood) - Games: 12 Disposals: 135 Tackles: 57

7. STEVE MORRIS (Richmond) - Games: 20 Efficiency: 80 per cent Rebound 50s: 36

The mature-age defender has evolved into one of the recruits of the year, missing just one game and adding a layer of resilience to Richmond’s leaky defence. Morris, 23, boasts raw pace and a knack for closing key opposition players out of matches – just ask Cyril Rioli. The dashing defender blanketed the Hawks star as the Tigers steamrolled the top team in Round 9, even burning free up forward and kicking a memorable goal. Morris also has the scalp of Steven Milne, who he shut down on the Friday night stage, with his closing speed, tackling and pressure acts quickly transforming him into one of the coaches’ favourites. Morris perfected a critical smother against Essendon last week and his ability to spark teammates with his selfless style has become a highlight of the Tigers this year. You’d now back the son of Richmond premiership great Kevin Morris to advance and become a 100-game strong defender at Punt Rd.

8. AHMED SAAD(St Kilda) - Games: 15 Goals: 27.14 Tackles: 50

Morris running 3rd behind Zorko and Greene.

[eliminator]

Has had a very good season . His attack on the ball and his willingness to put his body on the line deserves the highest praise

[gerkin greg]

Danog was right about this bloke
