Seems to be the enigma of this years draft. Could go anywhere from 5-30 from most reports.
He hasn't once been mentioned in the media, which isn't surprising considering he hasn't played all year. Noticed on the "footygoss" phantom draft he wasn't in the top 20.
Most of the others have him going high, although most haven't seen him play. People seem to be going on what only a handful of blokes on this site saw last year.
I'm one of those who hasn't seen him play, but have read what people say about him here. Two of my mates have seen him and have mixed opinions. One reckons he is worth a top 10 pick, the other a second round selection.
Will be interesting to see where he goes, and how he goes.
Nobody seems to have any credence for footygoss anyways....
he's also going up to 60 in some other lists.

If he's still available at 60, I'd be stoked if Carlton snaffled him !!

I think it would be a pretty big gamble for a club to take him in 1st round. Lets face it has hasn't played at all this year and has already had a shoulder reconstruction and for a forward who is relying on overhead marking more than any other player I think its a pretty big risk. I reckon he will go in the 2nd round.
I would expect him to go between 14 and 25. Anyone beg to differ?

I hope that he's still there around pick 52, but thats about as likely as him being picked number 1.

Not really, it gives a Collingwood/Brisbane/Port a chance at getting a quality young KP player with a "late pick". What else is going to be left at pick 16? Talls envious of Peter Street's body frame and need 3-5 years development to play AFL football. Well worth the gamble for one of those teams who otherwise wouldn't have a chance at a highly rated KPP.

I think more like the 8 to 18 mark. He is 'potentially' in the top two talls available so I would think there will be a team happy enough to grab him in the 1st round.

Wasn't he one of the players interviewed on the Fox Footy draft camp show?

We don't have Fox Footy anymore... can anyone write what they thought of him and any comments made by the club regarding Morrision during/after the interview had been conducted.

They said, after he was interviewed..
"He is a very nice kid"
He said himself he would probably need to improve his agility and stuff..
