Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn: Harry Morrison.

[Ned Ryerson]

No, Breust has a basketball background.

Jarryd Roughead is Barrett's cousin.

Which one of them cheered for Hawthorn as a kid though?

 

[The Chad and I]

great story.
Well deserved.
Well done Harry!

 

[kazzooka]

No, it was Morrison

Ollie Hanrahan's cousin was Trent Barrett

No that was Bruest. Ollie Hanrahan was best mates with Stephen Coniglio

will likely have to wait until after the season is finished to push his case for a new deal.
The fringe Hawk has played nine VFL games this year but has played the last two in the AFL side and notched his 100th senior game on Sunday.
Morrison, 25, has played more than 20 games twice and 15 or less in his other six seasons but coach Sam Mitchell has always valued his ability to run the right patterns and play any role.
He last signed a two-year extension in September of 2022 and told this masthead there was no genuine traction on a new deal.
“Not as yet,” he said.
“I just have to keep trying to play good footy and that will take care of itself.”
Morrison will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, alongside teammates Chad Wingard

Having been forced to wait for a deal in past years, Morrison said he was comfortable focusing on Hawthorn’s finals push.
“There is always that pressure at this time of the year and guys out of contract but I just keep going back to doing what I can do and that is playing good footy,” he said.

Hopefully he stays he could be the Brendon Whitecross of this group.

 

[moginie]

Hopefully he stays he could be the Brendon Whitecross of this group.

I hope not, given the appalling luck and injuries that Whitecross had.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

Whether you thought he was lucky to play finals or deserved his spot, there is no doubting Harry Morrison

has put together a run of very good footy.

For me - he stays in for the Port game

Well done Harry, you lifted and this is your reward.

 

[Cannyman]

Morrison always seemed to be the epitomy of the "needs to get to 100 games player" and he is now there. A pretty solid player now that probably skill looks a bit "vanilla" to some. Harry, if you are reading this (i assume so) you might want to think about changing the following things in order for you to take it to the next level

• Think about an aggressive mohawk haircut. Maybe taxi driver?
• Swing your arms more when you run so it appears you are running faster.
• Socks up? Always worth a try.

I always get offended when people disparage Vanilla as a flavour.

I just don't think those things are Harry's style, he has a haircut you could set your atomic clock by!

 

[Cannyman]

I love Vanilla Harry. I just think it would be good for him to add a few sprinkles.

 

[Brishawk]

Who doesnt like vanilla?

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Actually Vanilla is a pretty good description for Harry, but not in a bad way.

Everyone has a tub of Vanilla Ice Cream in their freezer as it is a jack of all trades. You can have it by itself, use it for a milkshake, add it as a side for a dessert. It's easily the most versatile of flavours.

And that's what Harry is, a jack of all trades who does everything well without being particularly outstanding in any one thing.
Every club needs players like Harry to bring the final product together.

All this talk of ice cream makes we want a Oreo McFlurry by the way

Why don't you just get a Vanilla Sundae? My point is proven. Time for a haircut.

 

[Dont_be_a_Plonka]

Was just watching the replay and noticed how many of our goal chains started with Morrison.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Touche sir!

 

[SSSSSS]

I've always said vanilla is a damn good flavour.

 

[Brishawk]

It goes with everything. Just like harry. It just works.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Extend this bloke's contract.

Second highest disposal winner for us last night.
8 in the final quarter with the game on the line.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Extend this bloke's contract.

Second highest disposal winner for us last night.

The fringe guys wanted it more and stepped up when it was hot. Must stay

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Question will be now will other clubs come at Harry with bigger $ and longer term offers after a couple of very solid final games?

Clarko especially loves Harry and he's probably right in the perfect age bracket to go to North.

I hope he stays though, he was really good last night. Just such a good user of the ball.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Never wastes a disposal either which is even better.

 

[Fists of Love]

Harry kept his head last night.

Early on we were fumbly and rushed, but Harry just kept on doing what he does.

 

[Snoref]

Harry was one of the few that were composed last night, played his role well.

 

[barbster]

Give him another 2 years. I think he can go another level, wouldn’t mind him getting some midfield time.
