Logan Morris (born 10 May 2005) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League. He was drafted with pick 31 in the 2023 AFL Draft from the Western Jets.[1][2]

Junior career

[edit]

Morris played for Western Jets in the Talent League in 2022 and 2023 before being drafted to Brisbane. In 2023, he also played one game for VFL club Werribee and kicked 2 goals.[3]

AFL career

[edit]

Morris arrived at Brisbane as a highly rated forward and kicked 5 goals during a preseason intra-club match.[4] The young forward started the 2024 season in the VFL before making his debut in the round 8 QClash against Gold Coast as a late call up due to injury. He played for the Lions' VFL side earlier in that day, famously eating a McDonalds meal between the two games.[5][2] He earned an AFL Rising Star nomination in the round 15 victory over Port Adelaide for his two-goal contribution.[6]

Morris was part of the Brisbane Lions 2024 premiership winning team in his first season in the league, kicking two goals in the Grand Final.[7] At the age of 19, he was the youngest Brisbane player to ever play in a grand final.[8]
