Born in South Australia's second-most-populous city, Mount Gambier, Morris, a left footer, spent most of his time either on the Wing or as a half-forward flanker.
In 1983 he was a member of West's premiership side which defeated Sturt in the Grand Final, having to overcome a hamstring injury to be passed fit to play.
To do this Morris spent a lot of grand final week at the Morphettville Racecourse stables using machines used on horses in a successful bid to play.
Geoff Morris served as West Adelaide's head coach in 1994 and 1995, taking the club to 8th and 5th in his two seasons in charge.
Following his stint back at Westies Morris became an assistant coach with Port Adelaide in the Australian Football League.
