Where's this coming from? I've not seen anything to indicate this- but I'm a fan!He has improved tremendously this season and it is great to see. I'm glad he's proving me wrong.
As a player that was decent at everything but not great at any one thing - all he had to do was lift his base a little and he becomes a solid role player.
One thing that doesn't get mentioned is that he is actually the leader of the young group around the club (not Worpel).
He ran down duckwood twice today and should have been rewarded. The defensive side of his game has been huge this year.
Really like the fact he balances over his kicks and is able to hit a target over hands.
His fellow backmen are now moving with him.I think that’s been one of the most noticeable things about Morrison’s game this year. His decision making has improved greatly.
In 2004/05/06 we had a bunch of players who looked like they couldn’t kick for s**t. By 2008 they all looked like they had silky skills. The space created by players running off the ball does more for kicking efficiency and decision making than anything else. But it is hard for teams to get that confidence to run when a team mate has the ball. Richmond aren’t that skilled as a team (improved a lot since 2017 though) but they belt hard into space and give their team mates plenty of options and generally easy kicks. As our team improved I think we will see guys like impey, day, scrimshaw etc really elevate into elite players because guys will know if they make a good lead the ball will reach them.His fellow backmen are now moving with him.
My issue with his decision making was that he often passed to a stationary target.
the backline, almost as a whole, is now more willing to run into space & create opportunities/options for him (& others). I think this has resulted in his decision making appearing better - he's actually got option/s now.
There is nothing that annoys me more than the fans cry: “Our mids butcher the ball, we need to recruit Josh Kelly!”In 2004/05/06 we had a bunch of players who looked like they couldn’t kick for sh*t.

The same applies to our midfield, trying to deliver inside F50m to a stagnant, well covered forwardline.In 2004/05/06 we had a bunch of players who looked like they couldn’t kick for sh*t.

The short term pain of watching Smith run around in those ugly hoops is made bearable by knowing some of our young blokes are getting more experience in positions they're better at, as opposed to developing more strings to their bow.If Smith had stayed around we wouldn't be seeing this version of Morrison at all. He's probably be toiling away in the VFL, or maybe playing HBF instead of CJ.
Either way, that's not good for us.
