Sonny Morey

Sonny Morey was the first player to play 200 games for the Central District Football Club.
Recruited from Gawler, Morey was an "original" Bulldog - he played in their first ever League side in 1964. Tried as a half forward and rover, he settled into the wing position and later in his career was a fine back pocket.
Morey won Central's best and fairest in 1970 and in 1972 was runner up in the Magarey Medal to Malcolm Blight. Strangely, he was also runner up in the best and fairest that year to Robin Mulholland. The next two years saw Morey win State selection; he made four appearances for the Croweaters. After his playing career finished, he even coached Central's Under 17's to a flag.
A fine ambassador for both Central District and the Aboriginal community.
