Murdoch paid the price for the first final. That's all. He has pace. Can mark. A raking left kick and honestly this year he was hard and tackled like a demon. His improvement this year was amazing now .
But forgetting all Of that. When looking at a footballer you have to ask yourself.
"What does this bloke offer that is a grade? either now or potentially?"
Murdoch has elite pace. He has height. He can kick it 65 meters. Now I agree he is inconsistent - but as far as what he brings. He has that as a starting point.
Lang - he's a Collingwood 6 footer. He's not exceptionally quick. He doesn't have elite skills. Or decision making. He isn't a genius around the goals. He's not selwood crazy hard at it. He's just a good solid 6.5/7 out of 10. He's a good honest citizen.
So if forced to choose between 2 players who have yet to have a complete breakout year, I'll take the one with the pace and height and booming left foot.

Murdoch - 8 disposals
Lang - 24 (and in our best 4-5 on the night).
Argument Sort of breaks down there.
