Great article on the Robert Rose Most Courageous Award.

Tough Tiger Steve Morris has made life a misery for forwards

WHEN the teams separate for their positions on Sunday afternoon, it's almost certain Steven Morris will cannon into Eddie Betts to reacquaint himself.

Twice Morris has played on Betts this year - Rounds 1 and 21 - for combined tally of 119 minutes.
In that time, he's given up just one goal.

All up, one player wants $600,000, the other pockets about $200,000.
In between is $400,000 of attitude.

What isnt shown online but is in the hard copy is this. In brackets i put the AA squad listed players.

R1 v Carlton
Betts, 68 minutes, 9 disp, 1 goal.

R2 v Saints
Milne, 68 minutes, 4 disp, 0 goals.

R4 v Collingwood
Elliot, 62 minutes, 4 disp, 0 goals.

R6 v Geelong
Motlop (AA squad) 27 minutes, 1 disp, 0 goals.

R7 v Port
Wingard (AA squad) 27 minutes, 4 disp, 1 goal.

R10 v Eagles
Le Crass
34 minutes, 2 disp, 0 goals.

R13 v Dogs
Dahlhaus, 44 minutes, 4 disp, 0 goals.

R15 v North
Harvey, 26 minutes, 6 disp, 0 goals.

R17 v Freo
Walters (AA squad) 40 minutes, 12 disp, 1 goal.

R19 v Hawks
Cyril, 46 minutes, 2 disp, 0 goals.

R21 v Carlton
Betts, 56 minutes, 9 disp, 0 goals.

How the heck didnt he make the preliminary AA squad?

Also he has conceded only 17 goals, but kicked 5 himself

I'm confused by the minutes tally, surely he would be playing more time than that?

Would be minding other players.
