Great tackle. Thanks for bring that to our attention again Grantysghost.

JK ain't exactly small, either. Like he took down a wildebeast.

He learnt how to tackle a wildebeast by watching Morris take down Franklin on October 1st 2016 at a similar stage in a game.

Now that was a legendary tackle. Will be in the mind of all Bulldogs supporters forever.

Was a thing of beauty.

That's a tackle any rugby full back or winger would be proud of.

Perfect technique.

I've said this before but that moment sums up Bulldog history more than anything else. No person embodied the Bulldog spirit more than Morris. Undersized, not super skilled, just dogged determination despite being broken. Then the ball spills to the big dollars kid who (we know now) truly carried the burden of expectation like a weight around his neck. But he scoops it up and just goes for home because in that moment, Tom Boyd was exactly who we all hoped he would be, and for once he believed it too.

Every time I feel jaded about footy I think of that passage of play and I'm in love with footy again.
