Billy looked very slow today, and he just looked like he was lost in space.

How long can we continue to keep him on our list if he continues to perform like the way he did today?

PS: I know Bill is only 19!

Yeah, but he doesn't turn 20 until next January.

For frame of reference, neither does Adam Iacobucci.

He's only the age of a first year draftee, I'd give him another year before axing him. Especially since there's so many other players we need to get rid of before Billy. Tarkyn Lockyer, Shane O'Bree, Andrew Williams and Matthew Lokan all spring to mind...
 
I think Bill Morrison has at least another year to stick it out and if he improves next year and plays consistant footy for Willy town keep him on again.
Hes a big bloke who missed a year of footy with a shoulder and has only had one year back so give him a chance. He may not be coming along as well as we might of liked but i think he should be given plenty of time to develop.
Hansen from West Coast is a good example.

Young he may be, but positive signs me not see! (Poet!)

We do have a list of guaranteed duds the length of me arm.

He CANNOT ever be played in defence again. EVER! He's too slow. Nor is he tall enough to play in the ruck thanks Gotchy.

Give him some quality time up forward. Full forward. And tell the Willi midfield to honour his leads. He might just surprise and kick some goals. If not, he'd be next to Maddee and Williams on the list on my arm!

Well said, Yoda!!!

Definitely a one position player. FF. Has 6-8 weeks to show something or its back to Tassie next year.

No way, you should add him to your 'project player' list.
How many you got now 15 or so?

Not too many.

Walker
Davidson
Cole
Fanning
Rusling - is he one? probably not.
are worth keeping

Hall gets one more year
Morrison gone.

cant think of too many other "project players". Thanks for your concern though.

Saw Willy when they beat Bendigo a couple of weeks back. Hall and Rusling looked capable, but I don't think Morrison was playing. Hasn't he played a fair bit at Willy 2nds?

Makes a mockery of the Morrison > Bradley poll put up after the 2003 draft, all based on what Wisbey said!
 
What is the big deal on Billy Morrison, people say he is good, but from what i have seen he is a waste of space. Another terrible draft pick, and will struggle to get in the side due to Travis Cloke consolidating a senior spot.
