Best game he's played for the club, no doubt. But does one good game in a final get you another contract?

It was probably the best game Morgan has played.Don't watch much VFL, but thought he was a standout today.
Looked composed, showed dash, competed well & was reasonably clean. Exactly what we lack in the small backs department.
Today was the first time this year he's been in the top 10 in all honestySo, is it fair to say he's never been in the bests (top 5) this year?

I'm a fan and even I've been frustrated with his year. But he started to make some nice dashes a few weeks ago after he managed to put a couple of injury free months together.He's been building into that. I can't see any possible harm in giving him a year, he's finally got over his injuries. Seems counter intuitive to cut and run now before we really know what we've got
Yes he is.. if he plays a similar type of game to today's, but better, every week.He is exactly the type of player we need.

I don't see why we giving him another year would be an issue either. We' ve got a bunch of older blokes retiring, a couple of others who will likely be on the way out, and the draft isn't considered particularly deep.
If it works out, he fits a need beautifully. If it doesn't, at worst we've given a mid-second round pick enough time to succeed.
He played 15 out of 20 gamesyes, given how his first year was ruined by injury he is almost effectively a first year player this year.
Last year? Inside football has him down for 7. Footy live has him down for 10.He played 15 out of 20 games
Really? Hm, I must be remembering incorrectly. I remember him playing quite a few. Also Inside Football wouldn't have had the two finals.Last year? Inside football has him down for 7. Footy live has him down for 10.
With retirements and other de-listings he may get another year by default.
I think he does. More up side than HindHm. Does he bring more to the table than say, Nick Hind? Not sure
Hind has outperformed him this season. Just as quick, better defensively and has shown an ability to go through the midfield.I think he does. More up side than Hind
I'd re rookie him. Pick in the 20s hasn't come on as expected but is a need on our list. You're prepared to give Long an upgrade so I think Morgan deserves another year for sure. To high of an investment to throw away. Every time I've seen him play he looks like a guy with no confidence.Hind has outperformed him this season. Just as quick, better defensively and has shown an ability to go through the midfield.
All that being said, I'd sooner take Brett Bewley to the other two (watch the VFL prelim in two weeks time and you'll understand why)
Long has vastly outperformed Morgan, and that's saying something.I'd re rookie him. Pick in the 20s hasn't come on as expected but is a need on our list.

Nick Hind is streets ahead of him.Hm. Does he bring more to the table than say, Nick Hind? Not sure
Steinberg was given 5 years, but I understand the example. With our list structure we are set to cut like 6 more guys. 1 year rookie deal for him won't ruin our list.Long has vastly outperformed Morgan, and that's saying something.
Let's be honest here, has Morgan shown as much as Tyson Slattery, Kurt Aylett, Ariel Steinberg or Anthony Long in his time here when they were re-rookied? I don't think he has, sometimes it's better to cut your losses (which this clearly is) and look at players who've played the same or similar roles better in the state leagues, like we did with Steinberg->Hartley.
He's also 2 years older.Nick Hind is streets ahead of him.
With the out of contract guys, I only see Baguley, Green, Draper and McKenna definitely getting another contract. I can see Howlett being retained as well.Steinberg was given 5 years, but I understand the example. With our list structure we are set to cut like 6 more guys. 1 year rookie deal for him won't ruin our list.
He's also 2 years older.
Honestly I couldn't care less if he stays or goes. I'd pretty confident in saying he will be on our list next year. We tend to hang on to blokes like this for years.
True. I just reckon he's going nowhere and wasting a spot, but it's just my opinion.Steinberg was given 5 years, but I understand the example. With our list structure we are set to cut like 6 more guys. 1 year rookie deal for him won't ruin our list.
