Steven Morris [merged]

[Hellenic Tiger]

Betts was his usual annoying self. Thought Stevie was outstanding. Got one of his two goals from a kick out stuff up by us. Typical Betts poaching but really had few clear chances tonight.

Gotta have a heart the size of a horse to play with that shoulder.
Well done tonight

In the last few minutes he put his balls to the wall and committed to high ball in the centre square and got it going our way. Huge effort.

[Yeahright]

Jones is 10x the player Helbig will ever be.
Oh and Morris was attacking in his first year and that was his best year IMO because he shut them down as well. Dimma wanted him to go back to that and rightfully so, Morris just hasn't done it right

Not sure of the stats but Morris wasn't attacking in his first year. Or second for that matter. He just did that job on the best small forwards.
Can anyone get the stats on his first couple of years?

I should of said more attacking. Not like a Houli or Newman but he was still a lot more attacking. I quick look shows in 2012 he averaged 16 disposals but only 10 last year and had more marks, bounces, rebound 50's and to my surprise more tackles. Hence Dimma wanted more attack from him and he's boosted his numbers up to 12 disposals a game this year.

one of my favorite players. Has some brain fades at times but those huge balls will win over any supporter. Gutzy player

One player under a cloud is defender Steven Morris, who has been carrying a shoulder injury all year. Hardwick said the injury needed surgery but Morris had elected to play on through the season.

Looked a bad move initially but seems to have come to terms with playing with it in recent weeks.

[Phil Mrakov]

Should've had it done when we were poo. Earlier in the year. He'll go in hard and do it again in round 1 anyway

Good to see that we're leaving crucial medical assessments up to the players.

[Judge Roughneck]

Claw says we would risk long term health of the playing group.

So its not worth worrying about

Yeah let's just force them into the surgery room against their will

or maybe stop selecting injured players and they might recognise the need for surgery immediately.

[Yeahright]

If his injured output is better than what's left over in the ressies (it is) then why detriment the team just to fill ones own ego?
