Steve Morris F/S

I am a dyed in the wool brightsider and I hate to bag players on here. I used to give Grigg a hard time but he has been pretty good. I used to love to give it to Pettifer. Can you blame me? Truth is I love Stevie's endeavour but he shouldn't be getting a game. That he is, is my biggest question mark on Dimma's judgement.
 
2 kicks.

But at least he beat his 2016 average of 8 disposals a game. Great improvement Steve. See you next week for the Swans game. :clap

Exactly his KPI are on the up
Pity the rest of the players don't match his output :p
 
2012 18 Bounces
2013 7
2014 5
2015 2
2016 he is saving his bounce for the second half of the season.

Think we made a mistake changing from a running team to a ball retention team when most other teams moved in the other direction.

Comment on 2016 is Gold! You are correct, we are currently in a turnover era, for how long no-one knows, but I doubt even the rules committee envisaged such a dramatic change in just one season.
 
Yep...transition time. Suspect we want be down for too long provided we can obtain at least 2 first rounders in the draft. That may mean a lot more loses this year. Probably need to entice an elite established player as well. Prestia or Jaeger would be nice.

Ah... the ineptitude of our coach. Brilliant !!!

His best game in years, based on that evidence he still needs to be dropped

And Dimma will be saying "we really appreciated Steves hard work and run off the back line".

First picked this week.
 
Is there still a team selection committee or does Dimma just pick the team ? Back ten years ago you heard about a selection committee all the time

I'd assume there's still a selection board/committee but it seems no-one is over-riding Dimma on the selections.

Morro Chaplin Vickery and Megan are the ones that pick the side

If this is the best game for years by any player then "please explain" as was once said by Pauline Hanson.

Against the Hawks. 2 kicks, 8 handballs, not sure where they went, 1 mark, zero frees for and 2 frees he gave away.

Not exactly a stellar performance by any standards, so why does he still get selected??

I suspect you said this with tongue in cheek FT.

Yes I was

Perhaps you misread what I said, I said he still deserves to be dropped. It was tongue in cheek in the way that his best game in ages still warrants him to be in the VFL
