Why did Logan Morris decide to re‑commit to the Brisbane Lions for two more years?
And can I uh were you surprised that uh Logan uh Morris recommitted to the Brisbane Lions yesterday? Um I I think can I just on on that point, I think I just do you do you think that There's no doubt that Tasmania will come calling for you know somebody like that. And they would have. But from a player's perspective, if you're a management manager of a player and you are giving them some advice and you've got the money which is huge on one side, but you've also got you know that the compilation of this team is going to take a little bit of time. I think this is a really smart decision on behalf of manager and player to say, okay, I'll only commit for two years. I'll see what the landscape looks like in two years time.
I'm gonna stay at a club that's really stable and move we are successful. And there's gonna be some hard yards that need to be done in the early stages of the Tasmanian team.
How does Logan weigh money versus team culture and stability when choosing a club?
I'll wait and see how they're developing after that period of time.
Tell a list of the Lagamorse.
To me, um I think playing with a within a good team that's that's got good values and um playing with all my mates is is uh is more valuable to me than you know a bit more money. So that's that's what it ultimately came down to. There's no point of just dragging it out. If if I know what I'm doing, I know I I wanna stay at the club, I wanna um play my footy here and um I'm I'm happy where I am here so there's no point of dragging it out if if I if I know what I want to do and I wanted to stay at Brisbane. So yeah, I guess I wanted to just get it done and now I can just focus on you know this week. then um yeah hopefully the next few years will be exciting.
So don't worry about Tasmania.
What achievements has Logan Morris recorded in his first three AFL seasons?
Every club in the competition looking at Logan Morris. He's in his third year, Tim. He's in his third year. His first two years effectively played centre half forward in a premiership team. He kicked twenty four goals from nine games in his first year. His second year he played twenty six games, so he's got this um uh continuity. He's able to back up, he plays every week. He kicked fifty three goals in his second year in was Centre Ford in the grand final.
How does Logan’s performance compare to other emerging forwards like Buddy?
He's he hasn't played a final where he hasn't hit the scoreboard. And in his third year, he's got twenty four games under his belt. He's kicked sixty seven goals. He's an All Australian and he could be for the third time in three years the All Australia uh the Premiership Centre Ford. In his first three years of footy.
Yeah. I went back and
looked at it. I compared it to Buddy. I said this last time.
What impact could a potential move to Tasmania have on Logan’s career?
Well, everything all his numbers stack up. So Buddy, um by his third game, Buddy had played ch only twenty two games and kicked seventy-three goals. So g his goal average was better. But the the difference was that Logan's playing in a team that just wins, seventy two percent win loss, and Buddy was you know helped change Hawthorne's trajectory, but he was in those first three years was about fifty percent. So he's trying Tracking that way, um he sounds to me, uh having listened to Josh Dunkley speak, he's just got this great head on his shoulders and why would he leave? He'll he'll stay, he'll get he'll get paid really well. Uh Um they'll continue to compete right through until the end of September and um and as you said, in two or three years' time he can sit down and weigh it all up.
What are the future prospects for Logan and the Brisbane Lions over the next few years?
But what a what a player. What a player.
Well he's he's um he's been a great player. And uh do you agree though with the Tasmanian thing? And one of the reasons why you know like young players, other players, managers might just say, Look, just just just cool your cool your jets for a couple of years, just wait
until it's all established. On the other side of the break, I'll ask you about that and whether you're worried about whether they can Attract that big name player that they need to attract and how they're gonna do it. Um so w the wisp's been on fire this morning.
