No. 1 - Steven Morris
Round 9, second quarter v Hawthorn at the MCG
Richmond recruit Steven Morris kicked just one goal in his debut season for the Tigers, but it was good enough to collect 35 per cent of the fans’ vote in the 2012 Goals of the Year.
Morris’ individual piece of brilliance happened at the home of football, the MCG, in Richmond’s most famous victory of the season, against Hawthorn.
In characteristic fashion, the 23-year-old threw himself into a contest on the wing, before bouncing to his feet to get involved in the next chain of play.
Quick hands from Nathan Foley and Dustin Martin saw the ball in Morris’ hands, running toward goal.
He cleverly side-stepped Ben Stratton, ran to 25m and drilled a checkside goal at the Punt Road end.
