Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn: Harry Morrison.

[Tomohawks]

Might have one in young Harry. I like his composure, footy brain, skills and competitive nature which he has displayed at Box Hill all year before flashing them again at a higher level.

 

[daniel23]

Has a footy brain he is Not quick but thinks quick. I also liked his ability to find uncontested ball very easily and he wanted it in his hands. Very encouraging debut

Not sure why they bother with weekly RS nominations.

Either announce a list at the end of the season or allow multiple nominations per week.

No point Morrison getting it this week but what a farce that they pick Hayward for his 3 kicks playing forward in a side that wins by 80+

Yes, bizarre selection. Not sure too many nominations would have been given out for 3 possession games before. Did kick 3 goals from his possessions, but still , as you say, in an 80+ point win, it is not like the ball wasn't getting down the forward line on a regular basis.

kid had an above average first game
you can only play against the opposition put in front of you

Not taking anything away from Harry as he has had a great season for BH and deserves the Col Austen trophy, but I'm almost more impressed with Cousins. Still polled 26 votes and missed how many games?

That was after Round 8, before he did his shoulder...

Says after 8 rounds. Don't think it is over yet

Yep. I'm an idiot.

I'll try to remember to read the whole tweet next time.

Finished 4th as top Hawks listed player.

Pitto 5th.

Pitto finished equal third

 

[arupist]

Shit. I made the same mistake as above. Picked up up the placings a couple of rounds early.

Well done Pitto and Harry.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Loved everything about this kid the few games he's played this year. Looks right at home.

Yea i have been very impressed by him, would be disappointed not to see him play for the next few weeks.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Definitely a keep. Like all young players, has things to work on.

Won't enjoy watching his footage from that incident in the middle of the ground in the last.

 

[SSSSSS]

Needs to do a Breust and take big hit to get the short steps out of him.

He's clean and he's clever. Think he will make it.

He took one pretty well from Vickers-Willis in the third you just show him both instances

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yep, I think he's great too, been very impressed

The OP mentioned 'composure', and I cant think of better term to describe his play. He just seems to hold his nerve with the ball until the last possible moment and then dispose of it. He just knows what hes going to do do, and seems to draw or deceive the player so well. Its a pleasure to watch.
Flashbacks already to some of the old Sammy 'make time standstill magic'. Hopefully, one day anyhow.
I cant really describe the difference though. Its like Sammy had all the time in the world and just instinctively delivered, yet Morrison at times has the sharpness of mind to think his way through before offloading.
It will be interesting to see how he goes when he starts getting some proper oppo attention, but the signs are fantastic.

Was the 35 bestowed on him as an homage to the original freak?

I think he is a long, long way from getting any oppo attention. God young kid, but very fringe at the moment.

I'd consider even giving him a spell back at BHH in the next few weeks and giving JOR a go in his spot.

There's no doubt he won't last the season, and it's a great opportunity for others to have a crack, just commenting on an exciting side of his game.
Agree JOR needs a decent crack too, but reckon he needs to show not that he can play at BH, cos we know he can, it's whether he will break down again I'd pushes to hard too soon.

I don't see any reason why he can't hold his spot. He has been OK since coming into the side and is only 4 or 5 games into his career. Most importantly, Clarko has mentioned in a press conference they are hopeful both Impey and Morrison can become A-grade mids in time. Seems to me we are heavily invested to getting him games.

Its just too long a season at the top level. Impey has a few seasons under his belt.
He'll get there though. No wuckers.
