Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?



Brodie Murdoch


Glenelg (SA)

18

187 cm

85 kg



Kevin Sheehan says: "Left-footed medium forward with terrific athleticism highlighted by his pace, agility and vertical leap. Strong overhead and has a terrific work ethic in games as a lead-up forward. Is a long penetrating kick and has the tools to play well in defence. Averaged 12.2 disposals, 4 marks and 2.4 tackles in 5 matches for SA in the NAB AFL U18s this year."

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Athletic leading forward, with great hands for a kid, can play one on one too against bigger bodies. mind you all my viewing of him was in our local league, not sure where whe'd take him, know he's talked to alot of clubs. i'd suggest 2nd rnd?

mind you this information came second hand from someone "speaking to his old man", seemed odd they'd pick us, neither guy telling me or his dad are supporters, and guy didn't relaise i was either till after he mentioned it.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

I thought Murdoch looked better as a defender, rather then a forward in the champs. Used the ball really well. Tested well for endurance. I'd say he'd be a later pick.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Seems like a logical consideration for us

A rebounding defender who can play or tall or smaller (3rd tall)?

Draft-watchers tend to highlight his rebounding work and the fact he "moves like a midfielder".

Anyone who can find and use the ball well would be welcome on our list and I'd be happy if he slipped to us.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Hooray! I hope so!

I've seen him a lot. Had an awful first half of the year after the AIS Academy trip to Paris, and a bad hammy injury, but the last month of the year he was excellent for Glenelg Reserves and made his league debut in round 23.


Can play both ends of the ground, i saw him kick 11 or 12 one game in the u 18's as a full forward ehen playing as an underage.

Nice lad too, but pretty quiet. Has a very close family and heaps of support around him. Is great mates with Tim O'Brien (they share a home together), who will also get drafted.

PS is a year younger than big brother Jordan was when he was drafted. His Father, Roger (Froggy) Murdoch played a lot of SANFL for Norwood

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

GLENELG youngster Harrison Gill is creeping into draft calculations after a scintillating performance at last Saturday's State Combine in Adelaide.

Gill, who won a Powerade SANFL Star Search nomination this season, finished second in the 20m sprint, agility test, standing vertical leap and the beep test.

Easy to get carried away with highlights packages but......the kid looks to be a serious talent with terrific balance. Forget Dawes......use pick 21 on this bloke.

I was hoping to keep him a secret , one of my favourites and I think he will be a bolter come draft day. Enormous talent, the Buddy comparison is just a bit of hype I think though.

Very athletic, tested really well for running jump and speed (2.89 over 20m). He's really what you want in a key forward. Aggressive, crashes packs, strong mark, kicks goals and has that abilitly at ground level like Buddy . That's the beauty of him, he's able to crash a pack yet some how still keep his feet and still remain in the contest.

There are some big negatives on him though. He can be a very lazy footballer at times and often he really only makes half of an attempt to pressure the opposition. Sometimes he doesn't even bother. He can also do a bit of a Fevola and can get rather undisciplined. There are days when he does it all though, he just needs a kick up the pants.

Footage viewed: Verdict use pick 6 to guarantee obtaining this fearsome warrior and immediately trade Grant & Jones for additional 3rd round picks as they will no longer be required.

Nice post - you think it's likely he'd go 2nd round? Very impressive highlight package, although the comments on his application are a bit of a concern.

2nd round is probably about right, I wouldn't use pick 21 on him.

Surely he will not last until pick 41.
