The former North Melbourne premiership player signed from the SANFL side under special consideration from the AFL after the death of Troy Broadbridge in the Indian Ocean Tsunami. He had previously played for North Adelaide before being drafted to the AFL. The Roosters initially refused to release him, but a compensation package was hammered out that allowed Motlop to restart his AFL career.
Motlop battled hamstring injuries during 2005, and with just ten games across two seasons he was nothing more than serviceable, but little more could have been asked of a player who joined the club in such amazing circumstances. He played in the 2005 and 2006 Sandringham VFL premiership sides. Returned to North Adelaide in 2007 for two seasons, then played for Dunolly in 2009 then Robinvale in 2010 and 2011. At St. Arnaud in 2012, and Red Cliffs from 2013 to 2017. Played a season with Cairns City Lions in 2018. Also played games for Townsville side University Hawks in 2016 and Gainmain Grong Grong Matong in 2017. Motlop played in the NT Summer competition with Wanderers from 2009 to 2022, before becoming coaching the PINT side in 2022 - 2023 season. In 2025 he played for Wanderers again, as well as a game with the Meander Valley Suns in Tasmania.
His brothers Daniel played for Port Adelaide/Geelong and Steven for Geelong.
