    Re: Bob Murphy plays his 300th game and Marcus Bontempelli pays tribute to his captain

    The Bob love will be immense this week. Hopefully we do him proud.

    So will the hate. The tall poppy syndrome is alive and well.

    Not so sure about that . He has been brilliant in the Media and is very well appreciated by all supporters and media ..
    Their are players who just have it .. Eg Pavlich, Johnson, Roughead. These are honest , silky skilled, clean players with good personalities that even the media won't put down. Rare but he is one.
    Bring back the biff

    Only on Big Footy is there an irrational level of Bob hate - in the real world the love is not quite universal but not far off.
