Re: This should be the last year for Murphy, MBoyd and Morris
That was a good read. EXCEPT for... "Now we are just drifting up on the hind legs of a few of the more fancied mayors"....
Mayors/mares. Way to ruin a classic Bob-ism, whoever wrote that.

Re: This should be the last year for Murphy, MBoyd and Morris
How fortunate have we been to witness 3 such outstanding careers in MBoyd Murph and Morris who have done the Club proud in the manner they have performed on the field and all being outstanding club men. A great shame that Murph wasn't able to share in our great 2016 flag. Today's game with its frenetic pace has become very demanding on 35 year old bodies but given their leadership qualities and endurance Bevo is to be admired in letting them go out on their own terms. To witness 3 great champions of our Club give so much pleasure over a long time has been a real highlight and one to be celebrated.

Yeah, sad. Feels like the end of an era. Bevo pretty emotional.

Re: This should be the last year for Murphy, MBoyd and Morris
The speech of Bob's, announcing his retirement to the playing group and coaches yesterday, is ridiculously brilliant, and with all the class that we've come to expect from Bob.
The piece from 8:45 where he gently encourages the playing group to do their best to get to the point in their career where they can move their mindset from "This is the Club I play for, to this is My Club" was incredibly powerful.
