Do it for Bob.

Re: Do it for Bob.

Maybe he is thinking about the group and watching them Play and will decide whether the side is ready to move on without him if a player can play his role.

No-one can play the role quite like Bob.

Re: Do it for Bob.

If Bob decides not to play on what will the club do for his farewell?

I think him holding the premiership cup aloft with Bevo and the captain on the day would be a nice farewell

Re: Do it for Bob.

I am of the mindset where I'm feeling incredibly privileged to have seen him play for 295 games. Whether he adds another 20+ games to that number won't diminish that at all. I'd love to see him play until he's 76, and running out for his 4,500th game, but it's totally up to him: he's paid his dues and fully deserves a choice either way, with our full support. I won't be sad, I'll be happy when he retires, because he's a deadset champion and what he brings to the group is 98% off-field anyway, such is his immense spirit and aura around the place.

There's no way Bob can walk away from playing in this team now in 2017. Or being in the roar of the song in the rooms like today and Adelaide. And our on field talent goes up another notch with him in it.

Good or bad? Or he had lars surgery and he's back after the bye?

Re: Do it for Bob.

Herald Sun reporter Sam Landsberger tweeted that the news will please Doggies fans:

"Take it to the bank. Bob Murphy WILL play on in 2017 and beyond. Massive news at the kennel. Decided to return while holidaying in San Diego," he tweeted.

2 more years Murph.
C'mon you know you want to

Re: Do it for Bob.

Heard from Josh Dunkley in his radio interview that Murph was at the Club yesterday doing exercises etc. Might be nothing in that but a good sign.
