Re: Western Bulldogs Devoid of Stars
Does some of the comments made by our Bob Murphy in some way support Burkes view?
I remember Murphy saying something like it was a bigger climb for us when compared to clubs like the Hawks.
At the time I thought that was just very dismissive of what the club achieved and it sounded like a convenient excuse to explain poor performances. Still drunk from the flag success I don't many of our fans would have challenged it.
Then there was an article from Chris Grant saying that given the playing list there was a level of expectation from the club that we could fall away.
Both comments from our own club legends seem to support at least some of what Burke wrote.
