Re: Robert Murphy-OUR spiritual leader

Post retirement the club must find a role for him. I'd imagine a player development role would be an ideal fit......development of people on and off field.

Anyone catch AFL 360 last night? For those that didn't, Murph was asked about the rumour of him moving to another club to chase a premiership before he finishes AFL football. He replied that he wasn't going anywhere and that he wanted to stay and help the BULLDOGS win a flag rather than win one for himself elsewhere. In my mind Bobby is the heart and soul of our club. Great, great man.

Thanks for that Mitcha. I didn't see AFL 360. Great to hear he wants to stay a Bulldog forever.

I'm sure he's expressed an interest in the recruitment/development side of things.

Suspect you may get some long term fidelity from his mate Wallis

I thought as much with Ward, being a local lad. It's a different world now.

Nah, he'll buy a record shop and sit around reminiscing about lost loves and making top 5 lists.

I must admit I chuckled when I read this.

I remember years ago at a family day my daughter was getting an autograph from him and there was a band up on stage. I said to Murph, I thought you would be up there belting out a tune and he said, nah, I know my limitations.

Re: Robert Murphy-OUR spiritual leader

Once Bob goes, will there ever be another player that has a sense of the old school concept of fidelity to a club and our working class roots? ( he's not a baby boomer, but understands their ethic in work and culture )?
Never a bloke to be caught out at King street...that's for sure. Old / new school. Really took the torch from Chris Grant one feels.

Yeah, there will. Thats what's different about our club, and why I love the Bulldogs so much after 30 years of heartbreak and no flags.
