Steve Morris F/S

I was one of the few that saw the benefit in bringing Morris in this week. But my support was him playing as a defender to fee Grimes up to.play tall. When i saw him line up fwd my support was immediately withdrawn. His worst footy in his career was the year we tried to make him a fwd. He played his first games in the VFL down back. We had Stengle playing well in VFL who could have played that fwd role.
Silly team selection by the match committee. If this is what is to come I can see us winning few more games this year

One of the key issues I have with Morris is his footing. Hafey use to tell him all the time too. "Stay on you feet ! "
Throws himself into a tackle at every opportunity and constantly goes to ground. He is immediately out of the next nearby contested play, only a metre or so away. RFc becomes a man down and the opposition will move the ball out.
Damn frustrating, nothing has changed, year after year. Hopefully we see the end of him this year. Nothing personal just frustrating as a footballer to watch.

he and Hunt make it very hard for me to rate Hardwick.
It is a complete joke that either of them play league footy.

Steve Morris has the heart that we wish all our footballs would possess.
Unfortunately in today's game heart alone does not get you or your team anywhere......
Steve is at best a solid VFL player and should be considered as such.....
We aren't going to win a flag this year so play C Ellis, C Menadue, Bolton or promote Stengel and play them for the experience and what they can learn.
The days of the Steve Morris types getting a game at AFL level are long gone.

The worst thing about Morris being played is it was the perfect time to give a young bloke like Garthwaite a debut.
Just doesnt make any sense to play Morris as a small forward when we clearly needed more height down back.

Morris stats for the game: 8 disposals ( 3 kicks and 5 handballs) (disposals by quarter 1.1.3.3), 3 contested and 5 uncontested, 62% DE.
139 metres gained, 1 mark, 6 tackles, 23 pressure acts, 1 score assist, 76% Game time.
Had the equal lowest disposals for anyone on the ground with Castagna.

I often wonder whether you do. My comment was about comparing them to Morris, not about how well or otherwise they played in this game. Grigg was far from the worst, named in a couple of papers bests as the best of a pretty poor bunch.

Saw this and couldn't believe how he could possibly make that decision. Someone mentioned earlier, 5 and 1 but doesn't feel like it because of this selection. Not to mention I'm still petrified Hunt may come back in because we need big strong bodies after being shown up by the crows.

He should never play another game for Richmond. Love his endeavour, but he doesn't have a role - he can't defend and has no forward nous.
