    Re: Morris eager to be old Dog among pups

    Thought it was a solid performance but will need to watch the replay.

    Took a few very telling marks late. I felt much more at peace knowing he was down in the back half when the siege was on with a few minutes to go. Much more so than say if Talia was playing who is prone to melting under intense pressure. Not so our Moz.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I thought he played like a seasoned champ who's missed a fair bit of football. I think we'll see a few games from Dale and then sadly, he'll hang up the boots.

    Think he's done at the end of the year?

    He was solid without shinning. If that makes sense.
    I thought he got caught out a couple of times but his experience held up for him.
    Unless things change and Moz has a great solid run for the rest of the season I'll go with BAS's assessment.
    Don't piss off old people
    The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

    I can't see any of the old boys wanting to give it up just yet.

    A bit rusty but he will be better for the run. This Saturday will tell the story.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    I love Dale Morris. I'm the fat bearded bloke you'll hear from Level 2, Aisle 28 calling out "I LOVE YOU DALE!".

    But unless he does a Matty Boyd on us, and I pray to the Footy Gods every day that he does, I think his career's natural conclusion will be playing in a semi-final in 2015. He just struggles to keep up a bit and the last thing I ever want to see is the Magnificent Glove playing past his best-before date.

    Premiership. Every other clubs' supporters would wish their heroes out on the back of a flag.

    We have to think big.

    He started off like a rocket in the first quarter and then became more unobtrusive after that. Overall, he was ok although if we had lost his match readiness may have come into question more.
