News Welcome back Geoff Morris

[Ford Fairlane]

THE Port Adelaide Football Club is pleased to welcome Geoff Morris back to the club as a development coach ahead of the 2020 AFL Premiership Season.

Morris left Port Adelaide at the end of 2006, having been an assistant coach to Mark Williams and part of the coaching set-up that won the 2004 AFL premiership. He has spent the past 13 years at Hawthorn, first as a development coach and then as part of the Hawks’ recruiting team.

Most recently Morris has overseen Hawthorn’s recruiting from zones west of Victoria from his base in Adelaide.

Slowly but surely, we are getting the right people in, just got to get a few lingerers out.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Slowly getting the band back.

Excellent appointment. Elephant in room still in room.

Off topic but that is a great picture. The one of the coaches the media usually uses has Walsh obscured as he has his arm up holding the cup and Morris isn't in it.

Excellent news

Another crutch for incompetent Ken to lean on. Remove the source of the problem please, then we can start moving forward.

If Hinkley is the elephant, Koch is the mammoth...

You mean another assistant Hinkley can ignore and do his own thing and continue to waste year after year.

 

[S.Patrol.G]

If Hinkley is the elephant, Koch is the mammoth...

From a football perspective, the Senior Coach position is the one that can most quickly impact performance.

 

[Port85]

That is really good considering our struggles with development in recent years. We really can't afford to * up another crop like the Wines, Wingard 25 year old era.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Getting the right people to surround the problem will not fix the problem.

But it’s better than nothing.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Getting the right people to surround the problem will not fix the problem.

But it’s better than nothing.

Same principle

 

[PowerBaz]

Great appointment, the negative talk really is boring people, Ken isn't going anywhere yet - but will - enjoy some terrific news for a change, cripes, feel positive!

This is a fantastic appointment

That is really good considering our struggles with development in recent years. We really can't afford to fu** up another crop like the Wines, Wingard 25 year old era.

GM - “I really think <young player A> is coming on in leaps and bounds and has the potential to be one of the gun high half forwards/midfielders of the competition if given plenty of opportunity...”

KH - “That sounds great Geoff...”

KH - *grins like a proud father as he pencils Cam Sutcliffe’s name on the team sheet on Thursday*

He's going to be allowed to collect the container deposit on Hinkley's Coke Zero cans.

Yes, some positive news for a change.

Time to stop letting the turkey drag us down and soar like a Morris eagle.
