If Menz goes to Sydney I might actually go to some Swans games just to watch him. I've never gotten to see any of his good games live, and it might be the last chance to do so.
 
JORDAN Murdoch may have been delisted by Geelong.
But the 26-year-old has become the centre of a bidding race, with two clubs reportedly interested in the midfielder.

The Gold Coast Suns are the front runners for Murdoch, who is set to undergo a medical with the franchise club.

But the Saints have emerged as a candidate for the 108-game player, who struggled to cement his spot in a side brimming with the likes of Patrick Dangerfield, Joel Selwood, Gary Ablett, Tim Kelly and Scott Selwood.

Good luck to Murdoch as it seems he will end up at a new home - news seemed a little quiet on him during the trade period

Tackling and putting his head over it was never his issue.

What he did and where it went after he got it..... well that's debatable.

GO Catters
 
I was sad to see Murdoch delisted, but the hard facts are who will be picked with Narkle needing the spot and Murdoch clogging the list, Parsons ofcourse. So space was needed to ensure the other players that should get more games don't.
 
TO be honest I am surprised that you guys have delisted Menzel as while I understand he is not great defensively I always, as an opposition supporter, saw Menzel as a threat that needed attention put into him by Longmire to curb him. There are not a lot of players in each team that opposition teams actively try and curtail but I feel Menzel was one of Geelong's.

I hope the Swans get him and for the love of whatever god there is I hope Longmire doesn't try and turn him into a midfielder like he has Papley, Ronke and Hayward.

There's more to it than we've been told about Menzel I believe & unfortunately his body isn't up playing an entire season,We can't continue to invest in players that are off the field more than on field.

I just think it was time for them to part company & I think the club has been great to him over the years.

It was just time to move on & invest in the upcoming draft.
 
The afl website described Murdoch as a running machine........ I prefer this one because I think it would be a better decision maker and get caught less with the ball.......

Gee his groins and knees would be cactus playing through the midfield. They are bad enough playing in the forward line and not bothering to chase.

By all means take him. You'll have 2 of the most selfish footballers in the league in the one forward line. Should work well.

That is a massive misconception as Buddy is actually really unselfish. The amount of times he gives the ball off to players in better positions is actually quite high. He is rated as "elite" with goal assists, score involvements and he is also rated elite for inside 50's. I think the misconception comes from the fact that Buddy struts around the ground, which gives a negative impression, but in reality he is a very unselfish footballer.

The most selfish footballer I've seen in a while.
 
RUNVS said:
You might not know of him as he is the Swans forward coach, so not a hugely glamorous role, but there is a bloke named Steve Johnson who, while very talented could be a little selfish at times.

Absolutely not. Johnson only ever once ignored a teammate in a better position to have a pot shot from 60, and that was in his last game.

Franklin does it 3 times a game.

I lurk a lot without commenting. But I was directly answering your question with how we can compete next year.

Of the things I listed, changing our game plan is the most difficult - but it is clear the club are already aiming for that with our trades. We are as much in it as any team next year, imho.

We're building a game plan around Dollshouse and Rohan,FMD.

He wasn't so elite in the final against Melbourne when we had all the momentum and he selfishly ignored Murdoch 10 metres out from goal and decided to have shot when he was too close to the man in front. A handball over the top and we were back and full of running with the margin down to 15 points.

No, he wasn't. Doesn't change what I said, though.
