Young Gun Poised for $2M AFL Deal
11 Jun
Summary
- Logan Morris is a strong contender for AFL's next $2 million player.
- North Melbourne faces a worrying reality after a 124-point loss.
- Jordan Dawson is having a career-best season despite personal tragedy.
Brisbane's Logan Morris is being tipped as the AFL's next $2 million player. Dual All-Australian Leigh Montagna believes the 21-year-old is commanding such a lucrative price tag due to his significant improvement this season, averaging 2.7 goals per game and excelling in key forward metrics.
North Melbourne is facing scrutiny after a 124-point loss, with commentators labelling it an 'all-club failure'. Despite winning the same number of games as last year, underlying statistics suggest minimal improvement for Alastair Clarkson's side.
Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson is enjoying a career-best season, demonstrating remarkable resilience amidst personal tragedy. His on-field performance, including scoring and leadership, has drawn comparisons to elite midfielders like Nat Fyfe and Patrick Dangerfield.
Essendon is exploring positional changes for Ben McKay, experimenting with him in a forward role to aid young talent Nate Caddy, a move deemed a necessity by analysts. Meanwhile, the Sydney Swans, despite their strong ladder position, are showing signs of vulnerability, with rivals exploiting weaknesses in contested possessions and scoring off turnovers since Round 8.
