Just thought I'd break the chain.

That chain was every stuff up in a row mate, you go figure.

I still don't know wtf he is doing in the forward line.

[the claw]

Needs to be trained in how to apply pressure without giving away free kicks, probably cost us 3 goals. Reckon Butler would have been no worse being thrown in the mix.

i thought he was hard done by the umps, saying that he clearly is a role player and that role is clearly as a shut down player on sml fwds.
yes damien tried something new but is damien now big enough to admit it hasnt worked.  we will see eh.

one thing for sure morris needs the play in front of him.  he clearly  doesnt have the smarts skillset  or awareness to play elsewhere.

Same as he was in the back line.

one less bad kick in defense

This guy will cost us the close games, he is destructive.

Dead set hard done by Claw, was a couple of atrocious calls by one maggot in particular in front of us.

I reckon he copped a lot of stiff calls from the umpires. I reckon he applied the same amount of pressure last year down back and wouldn't have had the free kick called against him, but they went straight to the whistle every time last night. Apparently you can't apply the same sort of pressure on both sides of the field? Either way he needs to tidy up his efforts and become a little smarter in how he applies pressure, if he can do that then he'll be handy up forward.
I think had he given away 4-5 less free kicks (may have been possible with a different umpire), we'd be saying he had a very serviceable game.

FWIW, I didn't like/rate the Jake King role when we had Kingy playing it, but if the are gonna persist so be it.

I'm going to against the grain on this one.

Morris's stats on the night weren't great but as a small forward I don't think they are expecting bags of goals from him. His role appears to be creating maximum defensive pressure in our fwd line when the ball is in dispute. The opposition players crap their dacks when he starts getting chains of tackles. I wouldn't mind guessing his pressure acts and tackle count were through the roof, and his work resulted in many a goal to other players.

I agree he also got hammered by the umps - there were a couple of appauling decisions in particular I thought should have been holding the ball (and a set shot in front of goal) but they paid the free to Carlton instead. He should have had a couple of goals to his name as a result of this.

Well done Morro

Thought his pressure and presence was okay with limited stats. Just needs to curb his desire of diving in head first all the time. Can be clumsy and thus ease pressure on opposition backs that way. Needs to tinker with that to really be a handy asset up forward.

good post l agree. l thought when he went in for the ball & got pinged it was harsh from the umps. players must be allowed to attack the ball. l feel this has also affected Cotchins game since that rule come in. Morris played well last night

[Jackstar is back!!!]

Best 3 possession game I have seen in a long time
He chased and pressured all night and create opportunities for others
Very good game for the team
