Morris added to leadership group
December 10, 2014 6:39 PM

Richmond has revealed its playing leadership group for the 2015 season, with defender Steve Morris added to the five-man group.

Morris joins Trent Cotchin, Troy Chaplin, Ivan Maric and Brett Deledio in the official leadership group, which lost a member at the end of the 2014 season after the retirement of Daniel Jackson.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick made the announcement at the Club’s 2014 Annual General Meeting, held tonight at the ME Bank Centre.

Morris was voted in by the playing group, with Trent Cotchin endorsed to enter his third season as Club captain.

Since arriving at Tigerland at the end of 2011, Morris has become a dependable, hard-nosed defender on-field, and a strong leader off it.

Certainly no guarantee for a senior spot IMO but good honest citizen and obviously highly regarded at the club
Thought Jack might have been re-added??

Reckon it's a good choice. Don't have to be a good player to be a good leader

 :huh :huh :huh....really, so if he gets dropped how good a leader is he then, as WP has alluded to though, that wont happen. What about when he gets reported?? Good leader then??

He's our best small defender by a mile, was playing with one shoulder all year - he won't get dropped nor should he

Players voted him in mate. Don't have to be best 22 to be a great leader but Morris is best 22 and always has been. Wow what if he gets reported :help he would be the first man in a LG to ever be reported :help
