Yes welcome to the Club to Jarryd, a mate of Chance Bateman from his time at Hawthorn.
Has cost us 10 points but has AFL experience as well as experience in a very good WAFL side.
Daniel Murray has been delisted to make way.
Born Oct 1988 so still only 24 with a lot left in him.
He says he is half back/wingman and wants to get his fitness level up before debuting so may be a couple of weeks away.
Looked great in the ressies.
number 61 quite tall?
yes looks like Murray has left and Morton has come in. Good luck to Jarryd, hopefully can find his way into the league team in the xecond half of the season.
Welcome to the club Jarryd. Looking forward to seeing you debut with us.
Is this the same Morton who played for Claremont last year after being delisted by hawthorn? If it is this is a huge coup for the club! He could be the kpp we have needed and he should provide ruck coverage as well!
Same guy Lucifer
Listed as 191cm and 87kg
Not sure he is a KPP, more a flanker type, or tallish mid
Was playing on the wing today. Same size as Flozz I would guess.

Played every game with Claremont last year! Great pickup!
The pleasing thing is that over the years this football club would not use this recruiting window of June 30th to pick anyone up so to pick up a player that really should be a top performer at this level is very pleasing.
Swedgen, that’s what he said.
I am sure that Chance may put us on the right track.
where has Daniel Murray gone to
Looks like Daniel Murray as been cleared to go to Mt Lawley.
Another player cleared to go there is Casey Sibosado.
Also if you read John Townsend’s match report from the Peel v East Perth game he says that a fair few players have walked out on the club thus leaving their reserves side in the state it is. Brad Bootsma had to pull on the boots!!!
Over in Victoria Blake Broadhurst seems to have been cleared to play for Balwyn.

Wanker.
Morton in theory for you guys should be a good get…though the problem with these Morton boys is they seem to lack heart, hopefully Jarryd can prove us wrong…good get for you boys, especially mid season.
Jarryd Morton played 20 games for Claremont last year and did play 20 odd games for Hawthorn.
He looked good in the ressies for us yesterday. By his own admission he is not quite up to league fitness but should be ready to go in a couple of weeks.
So how come Jarryd Morton is not playing at Claremont this year where has he been for the last 15 games?

My understanding is that after playing 20 games for Claremont last year he was dropped for the Grand Final and was not a happy chappy.
As a result he approached his Hawthorn mate, Chance Bateman, about coming over to Perth but our points cap was full and he has been playing in the country this season.
Now, having dropped Daniel Murray off our list, we have been able to fit Jarryd into our points cap and he seems happy to now be a Demon.
Can anyone else add anything?
I would like to see his stats for last year but thanks to the powerful WAFL website he hasn’t made it to the Claremont list.
Makes you wonder about the WAFL doesn’t it?
Morton was dropped to the reserves for the last game of the season and played reserves for the finals. Should have been dropped earlier i thought, he was a bit of a turnover king for us. Actually has a bit of mongrel in him though and is a great size for a utility. Actually played a few games at chf for the Hawks - Hawthorn must have been struggling a bit.
Hope he’s playing league by the 24th of august.
