Steven Motlop (born 12 March 1991) is an Australian rules footballer, currently playing for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Early life
Motlop was selected by Geelong with the 39th pick in the 2008 AFL Draft. He had previously been playing with the Wanderers in the Northern Territory. He is the younger brother of North Melbourne premiership player Shannon Motlop and former Port Adelaide forward Daniel Motlop, and the cousin of Port's Marlon Motlop.[1]
His performances at the 2008 National AFL Under 18 and Under 16 championships were hampered by a shoulder injury, which was operated on prior to the draft,[2] but he still managed to kick five goals in the division two final at the MCG.[3]
AFL career
Motlop dislocated his shoulder in his debut AFL match against Hawthorn during the second quarter in the 2010 Round 2 match.[4]
In Round 6 of the 2012 AFL season Motlop was awarded the round nomination for the 2012 AFL Rising Star, after gathering 28 possessions against Melbourne.[5]
After a strong 2013 season, Motlop was selected in the AFL Players' Association's inaugural 22under22 team. In 2014, Round 16, Motlop collected a career high 30 disposals to go along with 5 marks and 4 tackles. [6]
