Round 1 2008 Player Focus: Dale Morris
With Williams, Everritt and possibly Lake out, this week's player focus is on Dale Morris who will effectively be leading the backline against the Crows.
Over recent seasons Morris (and Hargrave) remind me of Kretuik ie having to take a much bigger and quality forward each week. At the start of this season, he'll probably have to do it again.
There's no doubting Morris's courage, but he can be beaten overhead and his disposal isn't the best but pound for pound the ability of Morris to shut down a variety of opponents both small and tall is invaluable to the team.
In a team short on hard it competitive defenders, the jack of all trades Morris shapes as almost the key player this week.
Thoughts?
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
