Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Josh Morris

[LRobbo]

Just looked at his Instagram, the lad is beside himself to be joining Hawthorn. Happy for him.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Thought we would of learnt a lesson about picking undersized full forwards after Matt little, but hopefully this kid has a few more strings to his bow

Mark Williams was a pretty handy undersized full forward.

And the best set shot in my time watching football.

Hardwick has turned out well for us.

How good was 2008 when Bud, Cyril and Roughy were rising and Williams reminded everyone of his talents in those finals. Was so important to that campaign in retrospect

Kicking goals looks like a walk in the park for this kid. Kick it to Morris I say

 

[Agent Smith]

So he's a minor

Yes, a Morris Minor.

 

[Slick]

Welcome Josh, hope you've kept that filthy mullet

 

[TazHawk15]

Welcome Josh, hope you've kept that filthy mullet

Its already gone.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Yes, a Morris Minor.

I didn't want to make it to obvious

I didn't want to make it to obvious

I figured as much, but thought I'd spell it out in case it went over ppl's heads...

That blonde mullet just screams South Australian bogan to me
I wonder if his heros growing up were Tony Modra, Greg Anderson and Wayne Weiderman?

The mullet got chopped a couple of weeks ago. And all those players retired before he was born.

Shoulda used a crayon font

Best of luck Josh. One thing's for sure, McKenzie was a stalwart (and very good) player at his SA club- they would've had plenty of intel on him.

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

Looks like an old fashioned lead up FF with a good set shot technique

 

[Burtman]

Not a fan of Hardwick?

Not as a forward

Was over 10 years ago, don’t think too many have made it since then. Just saying that I hope he’s got some serious forward pressure or another string to his bow, cause mark and lead undersized full forwards really struggle at afl level

At high school level, Josh has had a pretty reasonable level of success. He was part of Henley High's SA Championship School team along with Lukosius, Rankine, Mead & Burgoyne last year. This year, they were runners up. He's played mostly CHF in that time & then played a similar role at Woodville-West Torrens.

I'm stoked for the kid & hope he does really well.

 

[Big Hotdog]

We should have learnt and never drafted a forward again...

Yeah that Mark Williams was a spud too

 

[Big Hotdog]

 

[The Chad and I]

He reminds me of a player but i just couldn't put my finger on it...but I think its MODRAAAAAA!!

 

[Brant]

Not as a forward

Pretty safe that we'll not play him as an undersized FF though

Don Bradman is a hero of mine, retired well before I was born.

I really don’t think we drafted him as a full forward.
We drafted a full forward not long ago & traded 1 in this year.
Maybe we recruited him as a 3rd tall option.

It doesn’t matter too much as Clarkson likes his players to be versatile, so wherever he played his juniors is pretty much irrelevant

 

[Hawk Dork]

We didnt recruit Poppy to play CHF either
