The cousin of Brisbane Lion superstar Tom Rockliff, Morrison has been one of Box Hill’s most consistent performers throughout a strong season for Hawthorn’s affiliate club.
Over 16 VFL games this year, he has averaged 20 disposals, seven marks, four tackles, three inside 50 and three rebound 50s.
The number 35 will now turn his attention to having a strong preseason, with an aim to put some weight on his 73-kilogram frame likely to be a strong focus.
