I’m perplexed as to how Morris has been able to play an entire season and hasn’t really dropped off

He did get subbed out of one or two flat-ish games. And I reckon the pre-finals bye was perfect for someone like him as he was starting to slow a little in the last few weeks. Really excited to see what he becomes as looks to have some real weapons

Also worth noting here that Morris didn't debut until Round 8 against Gold Coast. So, he hasn't had a full AFL season.

He also got dropped to the VFL for AFL Rd. 19 game against Sydney, where he kicked 4 goals against the VFL Swans.

You and me both. Nothing about him makes sense. A 20+ goal debut season as an 18/19 year old kid who only eats McDonald's is something else.

Just refuses to give up, that kid. The down the line mark in Q4 under enormous pressure was just insane. He pretty much took over the leading target role after Daniher went to ruck and ensured Blicavs didn't have a free run at all the incoming ball. Morris is something else.

To think he's taken over a third tall role wearing wrong sized boots for starters and then ended up playing main lead up key forward in a prelim final is just staggering. Considering Hipwood is playing injured, 18 year old Morris was pretty much our main act in that forward line.

“Real problem Morris looks cooked.” Me text to my daughter at quarter time
“Logan making me sound stupid” Me text to daughter 20 minutes later.

note to self never doubt Morris again!

My favourite morris bit was the contest down the line against Blicavs in the 4th that ended up going out of bounds.

On an absolute hiding to nothing, couldn’t run and jump at it and just wrestled and scragged enough to halve it.

That's the amazing thing. Even some senior players will make a big effort and go to ground conceding. He just hangs in there doggedly which can't be taught. He did another one on the wing where he kept the groundball in front of him and made sure it went out of bounds.

Morris will continue to be a major asset as long as he continue to play with that mentality every game.

Do you doubt it? Kid was born to play. Reads the ball, reads the play, reads the game so well. Things that can't be taught.

as a third or fourth option in defence for next year?

Need to make list spots. Who are you turfing out, making sure we have list spots for Levi, Marshall and perhaps one other academy player. Note we are carrying 3 excess due to Mid Season Draft.
It's going to be extremely tight.

Went through my mind too. Could do a lot worse than him, but don't think he'd want to move to be, what, 6th in line?

He'll play plenty of football for someone next year.

No, we're fine for next year. I'd want to give those two a chance to recover before signing someone else.
