Morris, the son of Richmond premiership player Kevin, received a lifeline from the Jets this year as an under-19 player. And a full season in the TAC Cup has allowed the 18-year-old to showcase his skills.

"All I've ever really wanted to do was to play league footy and I honestly thought my opportunity was gone after last year," Morris said yesterday. "To get a second chance has been great."

His father, a tough ruck-rover, played 110 games with the Tigers from 1971-76 and was a member of the 1973-74 premiership teams. He also played for Collingwood from 1978-81.

Morris, who is known for his courage in and around the packs, said his father was instrumental in his career. "From what I've heard, Dad used to be pretty fearless and tough," Morris said.

"He gives me sound advice and it's good to have that father figure who knows what he is talking about."

The Jets finished fifth at the end of the season and play eighth-placed North Ballarat Rebels today in the first elimination final at Princes Park.

Morris said he was relieved to be playing finals football after two years in the wilderness.

"Playing such a high level of football during September is fairly exciting," he said

"I haven't felt like this coming into a game before. I'm fairly excited and also nervous about the game."

Hahaha. Glad we did EVENTUALLY get Steve, probably better to get him after hes had to work so hard to get to this level too.

Yes, we did, despite his Danny Meyer-esque VFL stats

Nice bump

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Nice bump. Didn't he do his knee later in the year? I read in his draft thread this year that we past on him because of a knee injury. Probably too hard at the ball for Wallet.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Pretty funny thread. Can't lay into Bo' though, even Leigh Matthews makes some silly calls.

 

[Goldust]

Just what about him reminds you of Danny Meyer, Bo????

 

[Bojangles17]

Mods, whats the policy again about bumping threads

Mods, whats the policy again about bumping threads

Haha, fair call Bo

But I'm sure you'll do the team thing and take a reaming for the cause

 

[KiwiTiger]

Made me read the Arizona thread again and Mick Warner's observations re Morris, Ellis etc. Always good to reflect.

Haere Ra

Mods, whats the policy again about bumping threads

I was taking a bit of mod's poetic licence with this one. It wasn't bumped to prove anyone wrong and I don't think it was bumped to gloat either. I think it was bumped to rejoice in the rough diamond that is Steve Morris.
However, rules are rules I guess:

Rule 6 - Bumping Old Threads
Do not bump old threads to simply say see I told you so. Even if you are patting yourself on the back for getting something right or admitting you made a mistake we prefer that old threads are left to die. Invariably the bumping of old threads will cause havoc as some posters fail to notice the dates that posts are made and will attack other posters for suggesting that player X is a hack when they have just had a breakout year.
