Gee thats disappointing Gomaz. I remember other coaches at that draft saying words to the effect of "Billy could be the next Jonathan Brown but the risk is too high".
Is there any chance he has a lingering shoulder problem from 2 years ago or is he just not cut out for AFL? Late bloomer? Lets hope so. But surely he should be holding down a regular spot in the Willy seniors at this stage. Anyone know how many goals he has kicked and how many games played in total for Willy ressies/seniors?

Morrison's in his 2nd season turned 19 in January!! Give the kid a chance ffs
Came from a pretty crap draft, have a look and see what other decent picks there were after him, big forwards especially as thats what we were after at the time (and still are) a 3rd fwd option after Molloy went.
Plus the fact that he plays every second game at the windiest footy ground in the world making delivery to him difficult to say the least.

Anybody notice a Box Hill kid called Roughhead?
That was his 1st game! He's 18. He can play.
If he played for us we'd be falling over ourselves with superlatives.
Franklin looked good playing for Hawthorn. 2nd game(?) 18yo.
We are still waiting & hoping for our kids to show some talent.
Then when they don't we make excuses.
Honestly the future does not look bright with too many of our 2nd & 3rd year players not up to it.
How good are the Collingwood players picked for Willi 2nds if they can't get a game in front of the rubbish on display last week?

Give him a chance he hasn't had the opportunity at AFL level yet and with better delivery he might be better than he has.
Some players play better in good teams and get dragged down in others.
Willy seniors haven't been that impressive (far from it) so maybe his delivery mixed with a lack of confidence has contributed to his poor form.
