Subscriber only AS a premiership-winning A-Grade captain, Sam Morgan is used to high intensity hockey and pressure situations. However, the Thistles women s first grade mentor concedes his new role requires a different level of anticipation. It s a lot more stressful because you want to get out there, help out the team but you can t as much, Morgan said. That situation is enhanced for Morgan taking over the coaching role from Hancocks teammate Jay Pavitt, who guided Thistles to last year s A-Grade grand final. I coached the Reserve Grade team last year but I got the call up this year to coach the A-Grade team after Jay had too much on this year, Morgan said.
