Geelong has continued to review its list and have informed Daniel Menzel and Jordan Murdoch that they will not be offered contracts for the 2019 season.

Menzel overcame four knee reconstructions and finishes his time at GMHBA Stadium with 136 goals in 73 games. He first suffered an ACL rupture in the 2011 qualifying final and it wasn’t until round 22, 2015 that he returned to the field in an AFL game. 

“Dan’s perseverance and resilience to undergo four major knee operations and come back the way he has is a credit to his work ethic and mental toughness,” Geelong’s general manager of football Simon Lloyd said.

Murdoch played 108 games after debuting in 2012 season. He booted 73 goals and played in six finals.

“Jordan showed great commitment and dedication during his time with the club, and we thank him for his efforts over the past seven years,” Lloyd said.

“Everyone at the club wishes Daniel and Jordan well in their future endeavours.”
