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.

Re: Robert Murphy-OUR spiritual leader
This is no surprise.
This is the man, who made sure some of our old, run down training facility was brought across to the new state of the art facility to make sure we never forget were we came from.
Hopefully players such as Wallis, Liberatore, Smith and Dahl continue the same passion for the club.More of an In Bruges guy? -
Re: Robert Murphy-OUR spiritual leader
Didn't watch 360 but it is great to hear players talk like this. Good on him. Robert Murphy for a long time has been a great servant of our club. Grant and Johnson are others that stayed loyal and were great servants and never took the easy route and find success for themselves unlike some players in the AFL."Footscray people are incredible people; so humble. I'm just so happy - ecstatic"Comment

Thanks for reporting. Didn't watch it either. Yes, we love him. Favorite player of my little boy. Now, we love him even more.It always seems impossible until it's done. Nelson MandelaComment

Re: Robert Murphy-OUR spiritual leader
Had he sought a trade after his HOF speech in the old long sleeve tricolour it would have boiled my blood, so glad to hear he's staying.Comment

Re: Robert Murphy-OUR spiritual leader
It's funny because he has never been my favorite player but when I got a new jumper I put his number on it. It just seemed right.Comment

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 )?

Re: Robert Murphy-OUR spiritual leader
I have a man crush on Bob. Just love him.
Watched that 360 segment. You could just tell how much the club means to him. Winning a premiership for him at another club would have zero meaning.
No wonder Aker hates him so much .... their values on football and life are polar opposites. Bob represents everything Aker isn't.Comment
