    Great player but he’s only 191cm, I would of thought we’d want a genuine gorilla key forward. Even petty isn’t 200cms and I still think long term he goes back once maysie finishes up

    Not sure we’re in a position to be too fussy about goal scorers 😂 I’ll take them at any size

    Is he homesick? Having a great start to his career. 2 goals a game average for a 19 year old key forward is nothing to sneeze at. Would cost at least a mid first rounder.

    Cal also said Fritsch is ‘gettable’

    What will be will be.

    I think we need to add another two first rounders this year to our list.

    If we can get a first rounder for someone with elite goal sense but poor defensive accountability, we will be fine.

    Where does Key Forward even begin size wise, this lad is 3 cm taller than our medium forward Fritsch.

    Are we looking at a Fritsch (Out) Morris (In) situation? Don't know how i feel about this.

    One thing i can say with certainty is Morris does not have beautiful hair.

    Fritta is a cherry on top player. Right now we need work horses that are willing to put in effort. If he isn’t capable or willing then we have to make the hard call and let him go.

    The game has evolved and players that don’t have a defensive output will get exposed even in the forward line.

    I do hope he turns it around, because I get great pleasure watching him play.

    Would Hawks be willing to give us a first rounder for him? Gunston and Breust are in their mid 30s and he’d slot in nicely there.

    Can't see him leaving unless the Lions are offering him an insulting contract.

    Interestingly, G Healy and B Johnson on SEN re-casted the 2023 draft order and had Morris at #1. Windsor was at about 4 or 5 and Kolt wasn't mentioned.

    They had Reid at 10 so I wouldn't be putting too much stock in that.

    Our Werribee connection might help (in a small way) here. Logan is a local Werribee lad, and his parents are pretty involved with Werribee FC.

    37 goals from his first 26 games as a third string forward seems to indicate that he knows where the goals are.

    Admittedly, I haven't seen much of him. Can he take a mark?

    Yes. One of his strengths is his contested marking. He is a one touch grab player.

    Plays a bit taller than 191cm and takes a ripping contested mark. Bit of a Jack Riewoldt type.

    Wouldn't say no.

    We would need to turn the club around to make it appealing to him.

    Lions would hate to lose him after Daniher retired.

    They won't let him go easily

    If he did come he'd have to get used to a different level of service from the midfield

    Thanks @dazzledavey36

    I remember calling out Morris during the 2023 year as a potential draftee. Reminded me in 2023 under18s as a Larkey style player in his natural forward craft , good mark and his kicking reliability. Some questioned his 191cm height. I thought he’d be a 2nd or 3rd forward which has proven to be.

    I yearn for the days in my youth when 191 cm was considered tall.....

    Get Hendo, AJ and Choco onto it ASAP.

    Fritta and his family might like a change of scenery in the warm weather, for the last few years of his AFL career.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
