Dale is such a great bloke. He is hoping his arm comes good ready for the finals. Would be great to have him available.
Spoke about 8 bones he has broken over the years, not including nose and ribs. He is so tough, his description of what happened after he broke his arm, and the doctor pulling his arm to put the bones in place - wow.
FFC: Established 1883
Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.
He is an amazing person. We are so lucky as fans for Dale to be a part of Bulldog's history.
I really can't think of another player who has shown as much fortitude and resilience, just to even get on an AFL list, much less then play for 12 years with as much dedication, selflessness and commitment from week to week to just do whatever is required for the team. And every game has always been played within the boundaries of the highest ideals of fair play and spirit.
Tonight he gave every impression of a man who thinks he has more to give.
I'm inclined to believe him.
If ever there is a bloke who would be worthy of a spot on a list, just for the ability to nurture those youngsters around him and to be available to do a job when required its Dale.
I've seen more talented Bulldogs in my time, but I've never seen a more dedicated and selfless one that embodies all those traits that we admire as people, let alone footballers.

Couldn't have said a truer word YHF. As I have always said, Dale Morris, the thinking woman's footballer of choice.
