Re: Champion data’s top 10 general defenders

So what category is Morris in then? Defending Defenders maybe? Or Defensive Backmen perhaps.

He would be a key defender, but as mentioned above the CD rankings are hardly reliable - their top 10 key defenders are all high possession/attacking defenders, which Dale is clearly not.
Therefore despite his importance to our side and likely selection in any non-statistical list of top 10 defenders (although even then, he is so underrated it's unlikely), he does not feature in the CD top 10.

He is listed as number one most underrated defender in the AFL.

Morris defies labels. Tell him he's a tagger and next year you'll see him playing on Cam Mooney. Declare him a key defender and next thing you know he's lining up on Cyril Rioli. Then before you know it he'll be neither as he slots into a zone defence. He's even meant to be a really good golfer.

These categories only serve to limit the eminence of one Daleford Morris.
