Steven Morris [merged]

[cub]

Bull at a gate, although we have to play like we did for it to have affect.

[Owl]

at least one of Walters goals and several of his FF were results of head ducking BS that were should of been play on, tackle free to us or ball ups but the umps were being biased arseholes and only paying the new rule against us.

[mat073]

I respect the fact he plays every game like it's his last.

[Diocletian]

Don't know about everyone here but at this point in time I am more than happy to see Morro create mayhem on our forward line...he is a human wrecking ball

I don't want to be a stickler after a great win but the problem is for me is that last night was a very good game from Steve. For him to play this small forward role successfully i think he has to play a very good game every week. As soon as he slips below that he becomes a liability.

His pressure has improved and he seems to have more of an idea as to where to run forward of centre. However, I can't ignore the fact he is averaging 7.5 disposals and 0.4 goals a game.

I also thought he looked best when he moved back in the last quarter.

Pretty much this.

Those stats are misleading. Just watched the replay. Morro was great.

Disagree. He was pretty good but the Walters and Ballantyne showed me what we are really missing. Definitely need a better small forward though even if that means Morris moves to second fiddle.

No poo we need a classy goal sneak small forward,

Then why are you disagreeing with me?

you wot m8?

I just disagreed with your comment that Morro's game was just OK. That's all.
Then you turned it into some discussion about what type of player we need (a classy small goal kicker) which i agree with. Morris is a defensive forward who can drop back and play in defence when needed, as he did last night. In this role he was v good last night, as most people agree. That doesn't mean i cant also think that we need a Walters type.
Geez you have made this way more complicated than it should be. Lets move the stuff on.

[Andyy]

Solid game, great pressure, but I agree he's still best used as a small defender. Definitely learning the forward role week by week though. You can see him improving.

To put things in perspective again, Melbourne picked up Jeff Garlett last year. A player I really wanted RFC to pursue as a proven goal-kicker. Has played 9 games and kicked 18.20 this year. Not super accurate but he's hitting the board and getting plenty of shots at a poo club.

Garlett + Pick 83
for
Pick 61 and Pick 79

So they basically paid pick 57ish, start of 4th round.

MUST be a target out there for the next trade period...

What about Jake Neade from Port?
Doesn't seem to be in their best 22 at the minute but from whatever seen he could be worth a look. Thoughts?

Let's see Garletts numbers in another season or 2

My original point was that we need a better small, not that he didn't play well but looks like we are on the same page

You could say that all day long. 116 games and 201 goals isn't enough to convince you?

He's had one poor year in his career so far. Eventually his form will drop but over time he's playing very well LOL

[eliminator]

Definitely his best game for the year.

It's also quickly forgotten that he wasn't in Carltons best 22 last year either.
The guys a downhill skier and would have become out new wiping boy in a heart beat!

Come on!
He wasn't in Carlton's side last year because Mick had put a line through his name due to other reasons not his ability. He is playing in a very average side and doing really well, so to say he is a downhill skier is a tad harsh. He can play and we made a mistake not having a crack at him. If you had the choice between him and Lloyd who would you want as a small forward in your side?

[Chuck17]

Neither would look for someone else
