not sure about the angst with morris atm.
he has a role to perform and even injured he performs that role way better than any player we have. hes a walk up start.
i agree with others though, he needs to work on his skills and he needs to stay on his feet. they are things that can be improved on imo. dea and helbig are two ive advocated we develop in a similar role to morris but with the added bonus of giving run and rebound.
matt thomas, well i did scream blue murder when we took him. in fairness to him hes performed in a couple of areas very well. im happy to give him a game but it means we have to be careful how many like him we play. to me this is the problem atm too many glass half fulls.
id prefer thomas atm to s edwards foley or newman poor skills and all. i think like tuck we need to get him to work within his limitations and be aware of his weaknesses. he is going to get hurt on rebounds because hes not quick but i can tell ya all there is plenty of not quick players getting games and performing roles for their club. our structures and game plan should cater for this type of thing as well as his teammates being prepared to cover for him. can anyone name one player who has been better inside than him for us this yr. or applied tackles half as well.
reckon hes played well in all games bar the collingwood game where he made plenty of mistakes but was one of few who had a go and the brissie game
time for us to get back to balancing out the team with not too many poor kicks and not too many slow players get it right and i reckon a player like thomas has a role to perform for us for now. ironically he is one of those who is slow and a poor kick that should get a game imo.
