Morris out for the season!

[angelopetraglia]

According to Sam Edmund off Twitter: "Bulldog Dale Morris ruled out for the year now. What a shocking run the Dogs are having"

What ladder have we walked under?

Update: Now confirmed from Stevo from the Herald Sun: "Morris gawn: Dale Morris played last finals series with break in leg. He can't carry crook shoulder though. Ruled out for season. Ouch"

F%#$!

It has been reported he has a cracked vertabrae, I wish him all the best in his recovery.

Yeah sounds serious, his health come first. Get well soon Dale.

F@#K ME!!

Could things get much worse? Now we just need Hall to get injured to complete the set! Williams and Hargrave are going to have to have the month of their careers if we're going to compete!

It'll be the fairy tale to end all fairy tales if we can get up from here.

Take care of yourself Dale and see you next year.

Blood the kids and invest in our future. 2010 isn't our year and 2 finals would be invaluable for their development.

EDIT-

Barry Hall (corked thigh) and Brian Lake (conjunctivitis) both missed Wednesday’s training session, but are expected to be available this week.

You almost have to laugh!

I'm with you on this Comrade. Play the 'future' team and just tell them to attack, attack. attack and roll the dice.

I can feel the pain

As for September ... 'All In' please.

Re: Morris out for the season!

What a joke. I think we will all see how important he is to the team over the next few weeks, without him there our backline will seriously struggle.

Conjunctivitis -- that must have been Aker's pin in the eye. Ouch.

Re: Morris out for the season!

FDOTM = black cat walking across our season? My fault for betting on getting to the prelim?

Farkit, call the witch doctor, rub the lamp, someone remove the curse.

Re: Morris out for the season!

This is such BS

I do like comrade's thoughts on the situation though - we could even still pinch a win and play 3 finals which will be invaluable to Grant & Jones' development (and maybe Wood/Everitt)

We've still got a spine (Lake/Williams) a big forward (Hall) an elite clearance player (Boyd) with who I consider an elite ruckman (Hudson) so there's still elements to see us compete...but losing two All Australians for the finals is just such BS

Has Addison played finals for us before?
