Based on????????

He was pathetic, clumsy, player focused, gave away free kicks (5) that had them kicking the OUT of our forward line....that's enough!!!

I think we need to persevere with Morris in his new role ....won't happen over night.

[torch]

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

x2

Needs more time playing this position and role.

Incorrect apart from the frees

Surely he would understand that chasing and harassing is one thing but giving away needless free kicks (5 out of 20 conceded by the team) is another. May as well had a pitbull terrier in the forward 50, he showed absolutely no finesse whatsoever. I would be surprised if this is not addressed for the next game when Hardwick reviews the game. If not then its only a matter of time before it costs us a game. Cant question his effort and endeavour but he simply needs to channel his enthusiasm in a way that complements our forward line not detracts from it. Kingy had a similar role but he actually appeared to at least try and attack the ball and do as a forward should and score goals. Morris seemed more intent on throwing his body around rather than looking at a way of getting possession of the ball and scoring.

lol he was horrid. should be dropped based on both preseason and that game.how the hell anyone can accept that sort of performance from a player is mind boggling.
ffs give a kid like butler a go in the role. he at least has footy smarts has pace lays a tackle and knows where the goals are. cant possibly do worse than that performance depite morris being harshly dealt by the umps.

when are we ever going to expect 35 -45 goals a yr from our smaller fwds.and while they kick their fair share of goals chase tackle and apply pressure its all part of the one job the last time i looked. just by kicking a few goals you make defenders accountable.
theres room for only so many limited role players better to look for well rounded players.

geez unbelievable what a win papers over with some.

Try playing back pocket and having Morris tag you

wouldnt be the most easy of nights

By the end of the game last night every carlton defender was expecting to be polaxed every time they got near the ball..having the opposition backline in panic mode opens up the game for other players...Morro did the  job he was asked to do to perfection last night

[(•))(©™]

King was better up forward.

[Gigantor]

So after just one game up forward you are prepared to say morro will never be as good as kingy?

Z, I am liking your posts. However, you have no place on here. You are meant to bag your own on this site, not stick up for them. You are also supposed to pretend that somehow, with limited footballing and physical ability that you can do better than athletes in their prime.

too late i already have.

cmon dooks all i ask is our fwds do the basics. a basic for a fwd is kick goals. a basic in todays gameis chase and apply pressure.  a basic is to lay tackles. 3 simple basics it isnt asking a lot.

if we are playing sml/med fwds to soley  defend then i can categorically say  the rest of the fwds are not doing their job and they need to fix it. its incumbent on all fwds to chase tackle harass and importantly kick goals.

you want a model to aim at look no further than hawthorn, rioli puopolo and bruest. not one good well rounded sml/med  fwd but 3,     who kick goals lots of em,  have pace, chase and  harass, they freakin tackle,close to 100 a yr each and they  have footy smarts and set each other up   as fwd you need em,  and did i say kick goals.

the club like the supporters have the bar way too low.
