He has got a hell of a lot to work on over the pre-season regarding his pace, skills and decision making. He can be the hardest nut in the AFL but without the before mentioned he will be left wanting and shown up!!

Goes to ground too much and unless he wins the ball- critical.

If he can keep his feet can still be valuable and FFS get his shoulder right RFC. :help

From RFC_Official:

Morris is training up the ground this year, more as a mid or forward, not entirely sure.

Houli was on him in spurts and Hunt.

Morris would've given Houli a bath, then Hunt went to him to even it up.

Training up the ground. Is that like training with the midfield group and burning up the track?

Yes while having your best ever pre-season

I hope we didn't pick up a proven tagger in Hunt just to move Morris into a similar role and then shove Hunt to a back pocket.

Foot skills aren't good enough to play up the ground IMO.

Tough enough for the midfield though.

Agree, though it sounds like a typical Hardwick move.

While his footskills wouldn't be an assett up the ground , they at least would be less of a liabilty than they are down back. Having said that, I also agree...down back with stints in the guts would be the best use of him as long as we don't rob Peter to pay Paul, as yeahright alluded to, and we need to find someone to cover for him in the bp while he's in the midfield. One of the new recruits perhaps? Never liked Petterd in defence, don't really rate Dea or McKintosh and don't want us sticking another small forward down back. Castagna sound like he fits the role but we'd need to elevate him first and, barring any LTI's,we can only elevate one before the season.

For me his foot skills are far too poor. Morris' are pretty bad too but I don't think they stink to the same level as Castagna.

Doesn't hurt to have a few more whipping boys in the team, it keeps the forum flowing
