The defensive leader celebrated his 250th performance during the 2018 season, Dale Morris continuing to overcome the issues that father time presents. Following a partial tear of his ACL, the inspirational Bulldog recovered to play 11 of the final 12 fixtures. He continued to be relied upon to perform the high-profile jobs on talls in defence. Entering his 13th season in red, white and blue, Dale Morris is finally enjoying an injury-free preseason. The veteran will be required to lead the developing back line and succeed in the isolated battles that are likely to rise following the introduction of the 6-6-6 rule. Never relevant in a fantasy sense, the Bulldog will not break that trend.
Final dance for Morris

Almost vale for Dale
The fact that Dale Morris delivered his worst set of basic stats in his storied 13-year career bothered nobody, as his game has always been about stopping. Morris will strap on the boots for one more year, or maybe half a year if the younguns look good enough to take his place some time during another long, cold winter.
