“He’s a bit of a coach’s pet down there at the moment, ‘Morro’, and why wouldn’t you be the way he attacks the footy! He features on the highlights tape every Monday,” Foley said on Channel Nine’s “TAC Cup Future Stars” show yesterday (Sunday, May 13).
Morris has endeared himself to Tiger fans, coaches and teammates alike in his debut season of AFL football. He is averaging just over 16 disposals per game and has been a standout with his bravery, boldness and fierce determination.
Foley, who has been in fine touch himself for the Tigers in the opening seven rounds of the 2012 season, is an unabashed Morris admirer.
“The way he dives on that football is incredible,” Foley said.
“He uses the ball really well in the backline, too, so he’s been a great asset.”
Morris had 18 disposals and a season-high six marks in Richmond’s 29-point win against the Sydney Swans in last Saturday’s Round 7 clash at the MCG. blog comments powered by Disqus
