AstuteTiger said:How long can we sustain Morris simply throwing himself at the man/ball and not hitting the score board but still get a game....
Some other smalls not only do they pressure the opposition they also kick goals, On the weekend Garlett 4 goals, Wingard 5, betts normally kicks bags, Elliot of the pies, the hawks smalls more times than not kick goals as does Lindsay thomas/nahas, this time around it was nahas who kicked 4...
Morris in 9 out of 11 games (2 games he played back) has kicked 4 goals thats atrocious but the coach believes he should get rewarded for what? cause he runs around like a headless chook playing kamikaze football giving away as many frees as he gets...
His average tackles per game is 3 and disposal 7.9...How can he kick 3 or more goals in a game when he averages 2.8 kicks per game....
DLR said:Agree, he gets busy being a top Back Pocket / HBF or he gets dropped. He doesn't have the poise though.
tigertim said:He was tried as a bp/hb last year ( and before) and was abysmal. He has been tried as a defensive forward and has been abysmal. In most cases this would necessitate demotion to the VFL side. Not sure why it doesnt in Steves case.
DLR said:I understand that, but we have him on a contract and I suggested he "get busy", that is not necessarily exclusively in the Senior side. Did use the word 'drop'. I don't think he can make it now either as the team has improved markedly and once upon a Richmond-time he was a certain pick back there, now he realistically struggles. Many a player has read the writing on the wall and found a way of improving as a whole side does - that's all I'm saying.
tote said:if ever a game was poised to be a "morris major" this is it. Small ground with FWD pressure being a key - if he doesn't produce the required pressure and turnovers on the SCG then one has to question his role.

Bit late some of us have been questioning his role since round 1 ullhair :brickwall

tigertim said:Someone has havent they? Thats when Dimma made the comment about not looking at the stats sheet ( or something like that) and the forward pressure Steve brings.
