Andrew Williams and Chad Morrison Recruitments

[Pie 4 Life]

Adkins was very quick, but always got caught. Went a step too far like Johnno early in his career. Apart from his speed, didn't have a lot going for him. Everyone lost out in our part. I'd be more annoyed we wasted Pick #10 than lost our with Morrison and Williams.

Williams was a decent flanker/stopper... and in one game in his first season with us he had a massive collision and got concussed (I think against geelong)..... Was never the same after that.... Before that he was being touted as pick up of the season.

Morrison was a gun player before he did his knee.... and then did it again. He certainly was not the worst player I have seen in the black and white, but was a waste of a pick.

Was against hawthorn and broke two ribs. This was Williams ended his good early season form and he returned very timid

The Chad had an awesome name, tagged kouta out of a game from halftime in 05/06 otherwise did little very little. Good name though the Chad!

Wasn't Chad part of the deal that saw swap pick 7 for 10 I think we had the Jordan Lewis pick but the club said they wanted flair over another fat arsed mid and would have gone for Egan even with the higher pick.

2004 Chad Morrison & Picks were part of the Nathan Thompson Trade

coll gain - Chad Morrison & Pick 10 (Chris Egan)
coll loss - Bo Nixon & Pick 7

north gain - Nathan Thompson
north loss - Pick 10 & Pick 26

hawks gain - Bo Nixon, Pick 7 (Jordan Lewis) & Pick 26 (Matt Little)
hawks loss - Nathan Thompson & Pick 37

eagles gain - Pick 37 (Mark Le Cras)
eagles loss - Chad Morrison

Jeez. We certainly got shafted in that deal.

Jeez. We certainly got shafted in that deal.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Richmond COULD have had Franklin. It's easy to say now but who can see that far ahead into the future?

At the time, I'd have thought it was a great deal. A good player in Morrison and we only dropped our first round selection from 7 to 10.

 

[Strachuniee]

Jeez. We certainly got shafted in that deal.

The club was going to take Egan irrespective of whether we had pick 7 or pick 10 so we really didn't lose in the trade. Wasn't a great pickup but you cant win them all. As pie 4 life said, more disappointed with the draft selection than the trade
