Former AFL coach James Hird says he is “in disbelief” at the Brisbane Lions extending Logan Morris’s contract, arguing the deal is worth more than his current view of Morris’s output.
Hird’s comments, reported by multiple outlets, frame his reaction around Morris’s performance level and what he believes the player can achieve. Across the reports, Hird describes Morris as being “way under” his potential, suggesting the contract extension does not match the standard he thinks Morris should be meeting right now. The coverage characterises the contract as a “million-dollar” extension but does not detail new terms within the provided accounts.
While each outlet presents the same core allegation—Hird’s surprise and his assessment of Morris’s underperformance—the difference is primarily in wording and presentation rather than the underlying facts. All reports attribute the reaction directly to Hird and relate it to the timing and perceived value of the Lions’ contract extension.
