Added to West Coast’s list during the 2026 Supplemental Selection Period, Murdock arrived at the Eagles after establishing himself as one of the WAFL’s most accomplished midfielders with East Fremantle. A tough, ball winning midfielder with a strong work rate and appetite for the contest, he quickly showed those qualities could translate to AFL level. Murdock enjoyed a standout debut AFL season in 2026, fitting seamlessly into West Coast’s midfield and establishing himself as a valuable contributor across 20 senior appearances. After a hamstring injury suffered in round two briefly interrupted his campaign, he returned to become a consistent presence in the Eagles’ line up. His ability to make an immediate impact at the highest level capped an impressive rise after several dominant seasons in the WAFL. At a Glance: Junior club: East Fremantle JFC. Debut: N/A.
