    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.

    • Demonland changed the title to The Logan Morris Thread

    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: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
