Toast Steven Morris

[Bird Man]

In my opinion is up there in most inportant players on our list ... i really belive we would have won that game against freo if he hadn't been suspended for that soft hit on the pies name who escapes me

We used to be dominated by small forwards and now they kick one to two goals against us cause of morris

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Yep agreed - given the troubles we've had with small forwards in the past, Morris is a breath of fresh air.

Hasn't showed any signs of the second year blues that some players suffer from and just appears to be one of those guys who doesn't take anything for granted.

We'd be 9-3 if we'd had Morris for that game against Freo. Plus winning-on-the-road-against-a-quality-side credibility. We'd almost certainly be top 4.

 

[Squibbs]

Great little player. Anyone who knows footy knows he's a gun.

Yep and I think the smalls like Milne and Betts would have been rubbing their hands together in anticipation, I think the arrival of Morris has now got them doing the opposite. In a season or 2 they will dread playing against us if their not already

Brilliant observation - gone are the days of stephen milne, eddie betts and lindsay thomas kicking a bag.

 

[El Tigre]

Hes my man. Got him on my membership ticket. Love his work. Love his no shit attitude.

 

[Tetley Tigers]

Will be stiff to miss AA selection because he doesn't rack up useless half back flanker possessions

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

^^
So true, runs in straight lines, breaks the line and doesn't waste possession kicking backwards.....

 

[mcuzzy]

doesn't waste possession kicking backwards.....

wut? the whole point of our backwards/sideways kicking is to keep possession

 

[_Wang_]

Backline has improved, Morris and more importantly Bachar are both guns..

 

[RunningBounce]

Can anyone think of another current player who spends more game time flying horizontally through the air? He is Max Rooke in Yellow and Black.

He tests the strength of every small forwards ribs, and I have irrational hatred of small forwards. It’s very satisfying to see him flying vertically into Milne’s scrawny, piss weak abdomen, and I’m a bit disappointed I won’t get to see it again this week.

Had he played against Freo, every footy supporter in the country would have cheered as he smashed into Ballantyne's repeatedly.

Tom Hafey's favourite player is Steve Morris, I would've picked that


"He is completely fearless,'' Hafey said of Steven Morris. "He probably does a lot of things that don't show up on the stats sheet, but people at the club just love him and he makes his teammates come on stronger.

"He is just a heart and soul player. You know what you are going to get from him, 120 minutes of hard and tough footy.

"He is a great footy story - a kid who never gave up".

Player article of the year IMO

 

[tugga]

We've had about 4 threads on this subject, but it doesn't matter because there can never be enough good threads about Steve Morris. Absolute gun who bleeds yellow & black. Take it from me, he is SPEWING that Ballantyne isn't playing tomorrow.

 

[tugga]

I'm turning into Turka and deanbigfooty for liking so many posts.

No tugga stahp!

Gun. Would be first picked every week. The back pocket we've been missing for years.

 

[Bird Man]

unsung hero of today ..held Rioli like a glove and added heaps of pressure to the other forwards

White played on Rioli, Morris played on Bruest for most of the game.

Jack said after the game that morris played on him ?

 

[Madison]

Lloyd said that Morris was on Rioli all day. Fits in with what I saw.

Destroyed him. Should be AA if the team is picked to play a game, which is what they said last year.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

As good as he has been stopping very very good small forwards he could really take his game
another level if he could make his opponents pay the other way.

If he was to average slightly higher in his possessions and kick a goal every second week he would make AA 100%

 

[rado]

This guy is the best lock down small defender in the league by a mile IMO. Cannot remember the last time someone kicked a goal on him let alone a bag, should be all Australian without a shadow of a doubt but will of course make way for more 'watchable' players that pick up 25 cheap stats a week.

He better make the AA squad at least..I love Stevie WONDER!
