Dale Morris reveals he played finals series with a broken back

Western Bulldogs defender Dale Morris revealed after winning the 2016 AFL Grand Final, that he played the finals series with a broken back.

The 230-game veteran confirmed to commentators after the match that he broke two vertebrae in his back in the Round 23 loss to Fremantle.

But, after helping his side break a 62-year premiership drought, it was all worth it for the 33-year-old.

"I may have (broken my back) in the last game against Freo, but who cares now," Morris told Channel 7.

"Everyone plays through injuries.

"I talked to the fitness staff, the (doctors) and all the rest of it and we go through things and they assured me nothing can get worse.

"It's a pain management thing and we go for it."

Morris has been on a reduced training regime since sustaining the injury.
