Bio
A recruit from Kooweerup in the Gippsland region, Jim Morden was a defensive utility who played his football during a lean era for St Kilda. He broke into the senior side in 1921 and held his place for three consecutive seasons, offering reliable support in the back half of the ground where scoring opportunities were rare. After stepping away from VFL level for the entire 1924 season, Morden returned to the Junction Oval for a final campaign in 1925 before departing the league. He continued his career in the country, heading north to captain-coach or play for Benalla in the Ovens and Murray Football League.
