The man has a superhuman capacity for fitness and injury recovery and his football smarts have not dimmed.
He stays as long as he's physically able to run out a match.
Just his leadership and standards around training and recovering have huge value for a very green group. Even if he doesn’t play seniors all year, he’ll keep the other young defenders honest by breathing down their necks.
He could, but then the other defenders aren’t at any risk of losing their spot to the old stager.
And given he’s a competitive beast, I can’t see him taking on a VFL spot. If he’s fit and able to play, it’ll be in the big league.
Once he’s done, he’s done. Just like Matty Boyd.
Maybe he'll do a Fletcher and hang on til he's forty. Disobedient knees aside he's clearly made of the same superhuman stuff.
We can't have enough of his influence around the joint.
Such a wonderful servant of the Club and arguably our best defender over the past 50 years. Given his spate of injuries in recent years would prefer that he retire at season’s end. I would love to see Morris be retained as an Assistant Coach together with luring Matthew Boyd back from Collingwood. There is little doubt that our MC needs a revamp and these two quality people would prove to be a great boost.
Absolutely yes.
If he doesn't play he can stand out the front of the WO teaching the young backs while the bronze statue goes up. Absolute legend one of my all time fav bulldog players.
Fantastic again tonight - he so reliable.

If he has it in him then definitely yes. He has lost a bit a pace no doubt but as the game wears on and players get fatigued Moz back to level pegging. His professionalism is actually tangible and the young players can benefit greatly by his presence alone.
Why is the title another year as in 1? He can't be broken, lock him in until he's 50 and then evaluate.
Let’s wait and see, but if he gets through the balance of the year and still has the passion (which doesn’t appear to be in question) would be hard to not offer him another deal.
