Australian rules footballer
Shane Morrison
(born 10 January 1981) is an
Australian rules footballer
who played with the
Brisbane Lions
and
Richmond
in the
Australian Football League
(AFL).
Morrison, who grew up in
Cairns
, is the son of former
South Melbourne
player
Peter Morrison
. As his father had played over 50 games for South Melbourne, Morrison was eligible to be drafted by Sydney under the
father?son rule
. He was however also able to go to Brisbane using the rule, due to Peter's post VFL career in Queensland. Already in Brisbane playing for the
Northern Eagles
, he chose to go to the Lions and was picked up with the 44th selection of the
1999 AFL draft
.

A key position player, Morrison spent most of his career with the
Brisbane Reserves
, which competed in the
Queensland State League
(QSL) and he was a member of their
2001 premiership team
.
[2]
With the presence of key position players like
Mal Michael
,
Jonathan Brown
and
Alastair Lynch
in the side, his opportunities to play AFL were limited. The Lions would end up winning three successive grand finals while he was at the club and he made just five senior appearances.
[3]
He nominated for the
2003 AFL draft
and was selected by Richmond with pick 64. In the first five weeks he played as many games at Richmond as he had in four years with Brisbane but was selected just once more that season as his club went on to claim the wooden spoon.
[3]
He was delisted at the end of the 2005 season, having added just two more games.
Morrison played in the
South Australian National Football League
with
Port Adelaide
in 2006. He then returned to Queensland and was a member of
Mt Gravatt's
QSL premiership winning team in 2007.
