Recommitted Harry Morrison - signs on to 2026

[Blackhawk42]

Anybody want a plug and play winger with 100 games of experience who is a guarantee of 15-20 neat disposals every week?

Was stuck in the queue behind Jiath this year until regaining his position before the Carlton game, subsequently finishing the season in strong fashion, with 2 very good finals at the conclusion.

Personally I hope we resign him for another 2 years, but the club has seemingly invested in CJ long term, with the latter recently signing on for another 3 years.

Constantly referred to as 'vanilla' on our board, but vanilla is a necessary and underrated flavour IMO.

My problem with Hawks vanilla players is Mitchell is squeezing every bit of talent humanly possible put of the roleplayers and I'd almost guarantee wherever they go they'll go backwards a bit making them a list clogger very quick.

To be fair to Harry, he's basically been as consistent as I described for his entire career.

He debuted in Hodgey's last game in 2017 and played in our 2018 finals series. He has experience and is regarded as a leader within the group.

He just lacks an elite trait and isn't a strong or explosive athlete.

But he's a very solid footballer and plays his role perfectly. Any team needing that consistent winger would be better with Harry in the side.

Yeah, if we hadn't picked up Sharp for free I think Freo would be interested. Not sure if anyone else values wings as little as us. We just build em up, low ball them, trade them out and replace them with a reject from another club then repeat the process in a year or two.

Worth more to the Hawks then any draft pick you get for him.

I think the best comment I've heard regarding Harry was, "others might be quicker and more explosive when hitting the spots but Harry has a knack of being there already".

He is a footy IQ player but seems to be over looked more by Mitchell than under Clarko. Possible with us playing a list with eyes to the future instead of the now he has missed out. But when finals was on the cards it's not surprising he held his spot.

 

[Thaiphoon23]

If we miss out on Cumming he would probably be a good replacement at Adelaide. We haven't been able to lock down that second wing spot.

Wouldn’t be a high priority pending other possible targets but wing is clearly an area of need at Collingwood following Sidebottom’s decline. He’s much better than Bytel anyway who played a few more games than we would have been comfortable with. Lipinski deserves more competition too. Good age for us too. I’ve always liked his game. Reliable depth wing and half back rotation option.

Great depth player? Could he be more? Maybe. Love Morrison

This. Hope he signs a 2 year deal with us this week. Was very good last night.

 

[The 747]

Don't see it.

 

[SSSSSS]

Would be best 22 for a number of clubs. Wing is a very specialist role and he does it very well.

He would easily slot in for somebody like the Bulldogs who are crying out for a decent wing.

 

[TylerDurden]

Believe we've offered him 2 years.

Sort of player Roos need to keep around as the kids develop. Certainly above Howe and Shiels at the time he went to the Roos.

Id be sad if he left because he never gives up.

 

[Howzat1]

Staying at hawks. Two more years

Brilliant news and well done sticking with the team where he has to fight for his spot in the 22.

 

[HeHateMe]

Awesome, very smart signing this one.
