Free Agency Jordan Murdoch (signed with Gold Coast as DFA)

[Power Play]

It looks like he's played his last game at Geelong. He will be 27 at the start of next season and has played over 100 games. Can see a few clubs wanting him as he is a senior player with pace, long kicking and line breaking.

Carlton and Gold Coast need senior players, he could be brought into either of those clubs and prove to be handy.

Port could use him, given he's a similar player to Polec. He could prove to be a good like for like replacement at a cheaper price.

Sydney likewise with Gary Rohan. Perhaps a straight swap between Sydney and Geelong given that's where Rohan is headed.

 

[Jeff76]

Absolute star, should get a first rounder for him

He's worse than Billie Smedts and Darcy Lang

I'd be very surprised if many clubs showed any interest

Hang on a second - if he was any good at any of those things Geelong would't be letting him go. That's exactly what they need.

Wouldn’t compare him to Polec at all

He must be a free agent if he is out of contract and won’t fetch Geelong any pick at all I would think. Not even sure I would bother if I was port unless we cut very very heavily

DFA

 

[Milanista28]

Handy depth option for a number of teams, Would get regular games at a few still, Could be another Ricky Henderson story.

 

[LeverPuller]

He’s not even fast, embarrassed by vandenBerg twice on Friday

That didn't stop them getting rid of Motlop.

 

[Chaisa]

Who the * would actually watch him? You have to be pretty dire for Murdoch to add something to your side.....

Why do people keep saying this. It's not true. Mullet.wigg.barlow.oshea...

Sumed Jordan up that run down the middle of the ground on the weekend only to forget its footy not a relay race an got caught

Henderson was a decent player with a few flaws at Adelaide. He seems to have mostly ironed that out at Hawthorn.

I can't see the same thing happening with Murdoch unfortunately.

 

[Warhorse]

I don't care where he goes as long as he isn't on our list next season

Dont kid yourself he mauled you round 1 he has pace but doesnt fit the Geelong system.

 

[Mr Blonde]

If we pick up another Geelong reject I will spew. I would hope we’ve learnt our lesson from Smedts and Lang.

Actually we will take Lang back for nothing if thats cool.

I bet you would!

In all seriousness, he has talent but I just don’t think he is up to it mentally. Doesn’t go in hard enough and doesn’t work hard enough, but maybe he is just getting complacent at Carlton because it is so easy to get a game.

Don't mind the punt

 

[WaynesWorld19]

So has Murdoch been delisted ? .....or is this expected

 

[Daniel McL]

To be honest I don’t think we’ll delist him. We’ll just offer low money and he’ll just be a depth player as a forward/winger if we have lots of injuries there then he’ll come in but that’s it.

But I’d much prefer another team just took him off our hands... please

 

[schmuttt]

Doesn't have the footy brain or skills to truly 'make it' and turns 27 next year.

Carlton and GC need vets with loads of experience, not a journeyman like Murdoch.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Close to the worst player in the comp.

 

[mike91]

One of the worst players I've ever seen. Trust me, I've seen plenty of Freo spuds in my life, Murdoch is ridiculously shocking.

 

[Longy_Zillmere]

Chris Scott loves him. He must, he continues to play him when he is useless. Turns it over, doesn’t find much ball overall, makes dumb decisions and has zero right side. He is one of the worst players to have played 100 games in history.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Bag me all you want but he's a better player than Gary Rohan.
