As the SANFL home and away season nears a close, we're taking a look at the 10 best recruits who have joined the SANFL this season and the impact they have had on their new club.
A number of ex-AFL players, and one current one, feature in our list, as does an Eagles big man and a Tiger defender who were pulled out of retirement.
In no particular order, here are our 10 best SANFL recruits of the year.
7. Josh Morris (Woodville-West Torrens)
Morris returned home to Woodville-West Torrens this year after four seasons on Hawthorn's AFL list in which he played 15 games.
Recruited to the Hawks as a medium-sized forward in his under-18 year, Morris played mostly in defence at Hawthorn and slotted straight into the backline upon his return to Oval Avenue.
The 187cm half-back has been an important presence down back for the Eagles, providing plenty of drive out of defence with his creativity and attacking ball use.
Morris can turn defence into attack in an instant, catching out opposition defences with his ability to take the game on and make good decisions with ball in hand.
Averaging nearly 20 disposals, five rebound 50s and five marks per game, Morris has been integral in the Eagles' new-found attacking ball movement that was so prominent early in the year.
As well as finding plenty of the ball, Morris is a terrific aerialist and reader of the play, allowing him to float across as a spare man and take saving intercept marks.
Additionally, he can push further up the ground and use his foot skills to deliver the ball inside 50, which he has done on several occasions this year.
