Steve Morris F/S

Has to go. Could not even rush a ball over from 2m let hawks in for a goal. How many times does his opponent score or set up the shot. Is a throwback to the early 90s squad. And he is seriously injured.
 
Absolute warrior, tough as nails... Will alwYs give his all... But seriously if he isn't the dumbest player in the afl he's in the grand final.
 
tough, goes in yes, but not quite up to it. Exposed by classy sides, and in particular classy small forwards. A good depth player in a good side
 
He keeps damaging his shoulder after every turnover he makes standing on the mark flappin his arms around like there's no tomorrow. I'd love to see him and edwards doing a training drill, be like watching abbott and costello
 
He was holding his shoulder in the 1st quarter. Seriously!!! I mean SERIOUSLY!!!!! Why are they playing him? Get him into surgery, give him 4 weeks off. Get it bloody right and then play him. He is basically playing with one arm each game!!!

Why do we do this to all our players. WHYYYYYYYY????

He is not bloody CAREY! It's ok. He can miss 3-4 weeks. I don't care if he says he is alright because he clearly isn't!!
 
Morris has been a contributor, and generally fearless in his efforts, but I am figuring that his time might well be nigh in the not too distant future.

the whole team seems less skilled, unfit and dumber than last year.

WTF!!! has happened to them all.

Pffftt. Not according to the senior coach. Apparently we are actually better this year!! He really thinks so!!! Is there a new definition of "better" in the Oxford Dictionary that only Dimma is aware of? Does "better" actually now mean "completely putrid"? If that's the case then he is spot on.

As for Morris he has been completely putrid all year. He is woeful at the moment; a total liability.

still not sold on morris despite the resigning. Can't fault his determination and committment but....still loses his direct opponent when the ball comes in long....fumbles way to much this is due to him expecting the ball to bounce up into his arms he doesn't bend over to pick it up..his pace he is a one pacer who arms flap around twice as fast as his legs move giving the impression he is going quicker than he is .
has been exposed as a plodder for 6 games on the trot 7 if you include the stinker he played in the EF....time to go
 
Turnover king. No good. Love his attitude but he ain't no Duncan kellaway.
 
In this day and age you cant carry players who are so deficient by foot.

In this day and age you cant carry players who continually go to ground.

In this day and age you cant carry a player like Steve Morris, particularly when we are carrying so many like him.
 
Before last year's elimination final, you could bank on him every week shutting down the oppositions best small forwards. He was genuinely an elite shutdown defender....

But since the elimination final, he has been nothing short of inept. Such a stunning and swift decline.

No disrespect Steve who has a fantastic attitude and continually puts his body on the line for the club every week, but how this guy got another 3 years is simply beyond me. Its a massive concern that the likes of Chaplin, Foley and Morris are on long term contracts and look done. Its ground hog day for me. We made this mistake before with the likes of Daffy and co who were on big money and giving donuts...........we are simply a shockingly run club. Dan Richardson has got off to a very ordinary start and needs to pull his head in.
 
Everyone can see his shoulder is shot. What is wrong with this club? Its not like someone else couldnt match his output.

Get it fixed FFS.
