Great debut!!! Like a fwd line Baker.

Was about to say we now have two Baker type small, angry ground ball players who add insane pressure.

And we didnt need to split pick 3 to get him..........;):rolleyes::huh::cool:

Hayden Balantyne with more midfield craft. Love the bloke already.

God hes going to be so good to watch in the derby can't wait. Guys got a big of that faf de klerk blond short king energy and I'm all for it.
 
Not only are they 0-2 but St Kilda fans now have to go to bed knowing they’re stuck with Banfield on their rookie list while we’ve got Murdock for the next decade.

Am I doing this right?
 
I will also say, he is way more bulky than i thought. I thought he'd be too slight given his list weight of 70kg, but he's a little tank.

Adam Simpson on SEN with Whatley has been trying to find an equivalent football stat to a triple double in basketball as a way to identify a good all round game

What he’s settled on is 10+ contested possessions, 8+ score involvements and 6+ intercept possessions. Whether you agree with the metric is irrelevant, but apparently only around 30 players achieved that stat grouping into 2025

Murdock had 14 contested possessions, 8 score involvements and 5 intercepts - so just one off

Fair effort in your first game

Staying with triple DOUBLE stats:

+ 10 cont, +10 marks, +10 tackles.

although Harley will be first to achieve it with +10 Frees against.
 
Anyone got the pressure act stats from the game? Is Milan leading it?


What really stands out is his terrier like attack on either a loose ball, or the ball carrier.

The amount of times the ball is flicked out to a GCS player in defense and i'm like "Someone tackle that campaigner..." and Murdock comes sprinting in full tilt from off screen was crazy. He had closer teammates to the opposition and yet he closed down the space quicker than them and was the one to put on the tackle and/or pressure act.

I saw a lot of this from Dev and Bo Allan as well. There was a lot of zip between the 3 of them defensively.


Murdock rankings for his team:
#1 ranked player
#1 for contested posessions
#1 for tackles inside 50
#2 for disposals
#2 for score involvements
=#2 for intercepts
=#2 for inside 50's
=#2 for clearances
=#2 for goals

Bloody marvellous from a player who has been in the system for a fortnight.

Here's hoping we stay fit and newbs continue to grow and improve!

Bolded are pressure act averages for the season. 59th in the comp, with a couple of Eagles ahead. Good stuff!
 
I think it says something about the merits of coming from the WAFL or somewhere else established and coming straight in. Not everyone can do it, but to not be able to overthink it or hyperanalyse every micro detail. He just came in and killed it.

He may never not play again, our first 500 game player.


All hail our new god.
