The Source: Tom Morris’ lusher than usual head of hair gets tongues wagging

The footy reporter’s follicles have become a talking point for his friends, with suggestions he has recently plugged more than just a Melbourne menswear brand.

Putting the squeeze on Victoria’s movers, shakers and headline makers

Channel 9 sports reporter Tom Morris has had plenty of critics, but recently he’s been copping a ribbing from even his closest mates.

Mozza, as his Melbourne Grammar alumni like to refer to him, has attracted a fair few jibes about — of all things — the lushness of his mop.

The buddies, who know Morris as well as anyone, are convinced the reporter has been getting hair transplants.

“Just look at him, his hair has definitely thickened up,” one pal of a pal told The Source.

“His mates are having a field day with him.”

Of course, The Source is not saying this lighthearted ribbing is factual, but it’s good to see Morris’s mates making sure he stays grounded.

Appearance is important to Mozza, who has been reporting on the Test cricket at the Gabba.

He recently popped up as the frontman in an ad campaign for Briggins Clothing, awkwardly trying to look natural as he models an array of suits.

The Ringwood suit shop (“Briggins provides made-to-measure suits for the modern Melbourne man”) has Morris appearing in the brand’s showroom, playing table tennis and clutching a beer, while flicking through a catalogue of designs.
