Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn: Harry Morrison.

[HODGEYROAD]

Pretty Vanilla but tries hard and deserving of the contract extension. Will likely eek out a 150 game or so career, partly due to right club at the right time but also due to hard work.

 

[Hawker55]

The rating he gets from BF posters is largely irrelevant.

How do you rate him & why? What would you like to see him improve?

He's a solid 7/10 player. For pick 74 we'll get that and 150 odd games which is amazing and a credit to his work ethic.

I like Morrison. Versatile enough to play a few different running roles. Probably never good enough to be in the top 10 in a BnF, but a coach’s favourite because he’s dependable and plays with no ego.
Comparable to a Rick Ladson

I'd be surprised if he wasn't top 10 this year

 

[Brant]

Neat player and nice fella. He will need to go to the next level if we’re going to improve as a team. Club has offered a 2 year deal, hope players like Harry and Nash are up to it otherwise we’re in for long term period of irrelevance as a club.

You know we don't have to play them, yeah? And that there's 40-odd others that can contribute to our development & success?

Yes.

The future of the entire club is up to you, Harry!

He will be top 10 B&F in 2022

Maybe purely on consistency. But I'd put the years of Sicily, Hardwick, Scrimshaw, Newcombe, Moore, Mitchell, O'Meara and Breust overall ahead of his. Lewis and Gunston were better so depends on the impact of their missed games.

Not knocking his season - he was consistently good, but rarely more or rarely less.

 

[KermitJagger]

Yeah they probably should have said " Not good enough to be top 10 in a B & F in a good side".

Alex Neal-Bullen was top 10 for Melbourne last season so I'm not sure that's true.

 

[MrPremiership]

Amazed at the criticism Harry gets. The bloke could win a Brownlow, Norm Smith and PCM and posters will still suggests he's a spud

Criticised for having a good consistent year. This board never ceases to amaze

I'm tipping they wouldn't.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

You'd find a way.

You don't see me hanging it on Hodge, Rioli and Lake etc so unlikely.

I’d have him in 7-8-9-10.

 

[Brishawk]

Top ten in the bnf.

Spot on.

VFL player by player RD11​

Harry Morrison (31 disposals, 13 marks, 4 tackles)​

“It was a really fantastic game from Harry. His contest and composure with ball in hand, his ability to change angles and make good decisions was first-class and above the level which was really pleasing for Harry to build some confidence back. Hopefully he can continue to build to having a really successful second half of the year. His leadership and his calmness among the group is really valuable.”

 

[Threadkilla]

Did well today. Always looks composed with the ball and makes good decisions, it’s just that the execution is sometimes awry. Today that wasn’t an issue. I thought he was in our best handful against the Blues too, even though he was dropped after that.

Had a Pies supporter near me laugh at him when his name was read out during the pre match thing on the big screen. Would’ve loved to have to tell him about Harry after he slotted his second but he left early to beat the traffic.

 

[TylerDurden]

Loved his game today.

 

[extractasam]

He looks so much better in that forward of centre role than he does playing behind the ball under a mountain of pressure imo.

 

[MasterSamurai]

There seemed to be some fire in the belly today, like it meant more, loved his game.
