Best in the land, my friend!

[WA Tiger]

I think you will find he came to the club like that and he played in the same condition last year. But the usual injury management of our players is second to none....

Please tell me his bung shoulder is responsible for his bung kicking.

The days of being able to afford to have a battering ram in your backline are coming to an end if they are not already long gone. While yes we need his hardness, and we have just come off a final where we were extremely soft, you really need your half back flankers to be able to kick and kick precisely-AND do the hard things. You're never, ever going to get the kicking from Morris so you are conceding a huge kicking weakness in an important area as long as he is in the side.
I think he is exposed in zone defences too, he is strictly a one on one player, who seems to have lost a yard.
Players of Morris' type are usually lucky to last 100 games so we should be planning for life without him anyhow.

Exactly and Batch is in the same boat!!!

I think Matt Dea could play Morro's role. Wouldn't be quite as hard but definitely more class.

Needs surgery huh? FMD. Should have done it after round 13.

Brilliant post

Nailed it

I actually disagree, if we had the class to rebound without always hand balling to a person in a worse position we wouldn't have Morris trying to get things rolling. When watching him I feel he tries to do too much because he is sick of blokes giving the ball to people in a worse position. Get people who can rebound effectively and leave Morris to shut down the most dangerous small forward as I reckon there is still a place for that in our game.
Would there be a spot for him in our midfield? Boak looked pretty dangerous on the weekend...

Stevie Morris is the least of our problems. Let's not get too idealistic here gents.
Half our issue is in the attitude and expectations our players have on the club.
And then there are others who refuse to be 100% committed on the field.

Stevie M at least puts everything on the line.
Commits to every single contest.

How many on our list that you can say that about?

 Should've been in surgery after nab when he did it. Probably cost the club having him out there playing like a dud

agree yandb, Morris gets beaten sometimes and makes errors when he tries to do more than he's capable of, but by and large he's the least of our problems, used correctly I still think hes a valuable player
