Career
He then was recruited by Collingwood in what seemed to be a recruiting frenzy by the Pies, as they were in a development period. Morwood would soon become an experienced backman, yet could play on either flank, but under Leigh Matthews he was played as a defender, and his role as bringing the ball out of trouble saw him become one of the best defenders in the game. In 1988 Morwood represented Victoria for the first time, and would play State of Origin footy the next two seasons in the "Big V".
His form from the backline gave him selection in the official VFL "Team of the Year", placed on the Interchange.
After thirteen seasons, Morwood retired from the American Federation of Labor-Congress at the end of 1993, with over 200 games to his name. In 1994 he played in the Victorian Football Association with Frankston.
