What worse than his injury is all you girls carrying on as though he's reading our posts.

Seriously, look at it as Gods will.

He might be. McKenzie & Caro do

I think theres something in this which needs further consideration.

Im not religious myself, BUT, if there is a god, and that god is all powerful and all knowing, wouldnt the injury to Morris be gods way of saying hes best not to play for us?

And who are we to question fate anyway?

Morris' season over with ACL confirmed

Scans have confirmed defender Steven Morris has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the first quarter of Friday night’s game against North Melbourne.

The injury will end the 27-year-old’s 2016 season, and he will undergo surgery in the coming weeks.

“The injury is disappointing for Steve, he’s a tough competitor and been playing great football this season,” Dan Richardson, Richmond’s General Manager of Football said.

“It’s never easy to see a player go down with a long-term injury, but Steve is a resilient person and we’ll support him throughout the rehab process.”

Ben Griffiths has a lateral ligament sprain in his right ankle, the Club will assess his improvement over the course of the week.

Defender Dylan Grimes was a late change in Friday night’s match after feeling hamstring soreness in the warm-up.

Grimes will need to train fully this week to be available to play in this Sunday’s match against the Gold Coast Suns. 

Nick Vlastuin’s night ended at half-time of Friday night’s match after the young defender suffered concussion. 

Vlastuin will need to pass the standard concussion tests later this week to be medically cleared to play this weekend.

He may not have been the most talented footballer but he has something that this club really lacks right now. Toughness! Both physical and mental toughness. For that reason he should be respected more then he is right now on this forum.

In fact I wish we had more Steven Morris Types. At least we know they would give their all every game, gut run, put their bodys on the line, put their heads over the ball, play for the jumper, win contested ball and work hard and stand up for their team mates! Unlike several Richmond listed players.

Steve can hold his head high!

Grigg could learn a thing or 3

Agreed.

I am actually over the moon he wont be taking games off a junior for the rest of the year.Thank god for injuries  sometimes, because it forces the coaches hand.

In saying that i sympathise he is one bloke who busts a gut and works hard,  it is a lot of blood sweat and tears thrown straight out the window when serious injury occurs to any player.
My concern now is the club will retain him because of some sort of feelings of obligation due to the injury. Every single one of us knows he should be delisted so dont act all indignant at this.

Was in some pretty good form too

I thought Cotchin was by a mile. Hardly noticed any of Grigg's 38 possessions

HE PLAYED HIS ROLE

[the claw]

Let's hope he gets better soon and can still run and play with his kids. Tries his guts out.
If only we had the rest of those panty wearers with the same endeavour as Morris.



But I also hope he never plays for us again. I for one want to see the end of mediocrity at Richmond.

Let's hope more players are forced to retire too so we can finally get some guys who can actually play this game properly.
Let's get a recruiting team that know what they are doing.
Let's get a development team that know how to develop the players.
Let's get a coaching team that know how to coach a team & demands excellence.

Hallelujah brother.
Personally i am going to be brutally honest and say i could not give a stuff if more duds like morris copped injuries. Seems to me the only way favorites will get the chop.

I dont know Steve Morris he could be a great bloke away from footy. Its as a footballer that i rate him and while i have sympathy for him actually getting hurt i am happy Hardwick has no option but play someone else. Trouble is he will pass up the opportunity to play a kid instead playing another hack favorite.
How many years do we have to see this sort of thing go on and on.
