      Congratulations on 200 games Dale! So happy to see you in the side and running amok in the back line, especially after that horrible broken leg.
      Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

      Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

      And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

        It's remarkable that he came back from his broken leg and this season from his torn pectoral at his age without missing a beat. Must be doing everything to get himself right
        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

          A player whose entire career on the field I have been able to follow. A-grade from the first game and well-decorated with honours. Hope he can go on for another season or so. We will miss him when he's gone.

              450 games off the rookie list (Boyd & Dale). Wow.

              Well done Dale.

                I can remember seeing him train for the first time. I must admit to agreeing with the general consensus that he wouldn't make it. So glad he's proved that hasty and uninformed statement wrong.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                  Of all the milestone games, this one will be right up there for me. Absolutely love and respect Dale as a footballer and a bloke of the highest intelligence and integrity. Future coaching star in the making also.

                  Congratulations Dale Morris on 200 games richly deserved.

                    Hear hear BornAScragger.

                    Morris is a true gentleman on (i.e. no dirty tactics) & off the field whilst still being a tough defender that makes forwards earn every possession. One of the best I've seen including a rare ability to often keep his feet & keep his cool. Exemplary role model and faithful bulldog player.
                    Josie :)

                    Our day will come
                    And we'll have everything.
                    We'll share the joy
                    Just like '54 again.

                        As we can see from the above tributes, Dale is a man held in the highest regard by Bulldog supporters. When the curtain comes down on his wonderful career he will be remembered for his un-wavering dedication to the cause, his un-flinching courage, his skill and his determination to overcome whatever is put in his way. To come back so well from a broken leg says it all about Dale Morris the man. His name will always be bracketed with the great Bulldog defenders of past years - Henderson, Donald, Whitten, Darcy, Walker, Jillard, Wheeler, Foster, Kennedy, Egan and Lake. I expect him to be around for a few more years. Keep on keeping on, Dale - you are the people's favourite.

                          Picken, Dahl, JJ as well - the rookie list has been kind to us.

                          Fantastic achievement by Morris. Prior to his broken leg, you could count on the one hand how many games he was beaten by his opponent in.

                            Really pleased for Dale that he has gotten to this milestone with the club he loves (and who loves him).
                            There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.
