What's happened to Bill Morrison?

[scooter600x]

Didn't this kid get taken 1st round a few years back?

I've seen a few posts suggesting he should be dumped, what's happened to him? Is he playing 1sts for Willi?

It would be hard for the kid with Rocca, Tarrant, Rusling, Davidson and half a dozen Clokes in front of him.

Taken at the bum end of the first round in 2003. Struggling to make an inpact in Willi seconds. Can't see any point persisting with him. Free to good home.

5 goals in the Willy reserves last round. Wasn't named in the best though.

dogs are still persisting with Walsh who was taken #4 in the same draft, so I dont see why we wouldnt pick up morrison for a low pick.

Diff'rent draft.

Got reported too. Why a full forward would get reported in a 130 point win in the reserves defies belief.

You'd rather he dished it our in frustration hotpie??

Pointing at the scoreboard > throwing a punch

 

[FIGJAM]

Has he been found guilty? Was it a "strike" as in a reckless attempt at a spoil? Was it off the ball? Dis the other guy start a scuffle?

C'mon hp, we dun know squat about it! The kid deservedly or otherwise cops enough crap without having to be flogged for something we haven't even seen!!

 

[hotpie]

he was charged for striking, thats all I know.

apart from that you're probly right about me speaking without knowing the facts, but thats what Bigfooty is for!!!!

 

[hotpie]

Update - not guilty

Sorry about all those nasty things I said, Billy!!!

If he had been suspended it would have improved the overall ability of the Collingwood list.

Slowest player I have seen, even slower than Woey

 

[FIGJAM]

Just let the poor kid have a ********en dip!

 

[irish]

this boy is better that that hes an all australian under age player for goodness sake
what have you pies done to him ???

 

[deck]

Kicked 5 again today in the willy 2nds but was not named in the best.

He must have kicked them all in the first half then, because he didn't get a touch in the second.

I went to the 3/4 huddle for the 2s, Eames was encouraging Billy to concentrate on what had happened in the 1st quarter. Perhaps they all were in the first?

 

[hotpie]

If he keeps kicking goals yet doesnt play well, that may be food for thought for the selectors to consider retaining him for one more year as a "blue sky" project.

Just a thought.

If we keep Bill we have to axe another tall. We can't keep 'em all when we are in such need in the midfield. Let's not do this whole Ben Kinnear thing all over again.

 

[TheClokes]

Bill Morrison will stay. give the kid time.
on trading talls... we will keep all of them

for the simple fact Wakelin, Presti and Rocca are getting on. And players like Morrison, Davidson, J Cloke and Walker need to fill the key back positions for us.


On Morrison again: his still getting use to his body.

Billy would still be short priced favorite to be the first chopped. He needs to do more than kick goals in the Reserves when they are on top undefeated and have a percentage of nearly 200. I was just trying to play devils advocate and wondering if the Collingwood match Committee see something in him that nobody else does.

(BK is a bit of a long bow. We are debating a second year player not an eight year player)
