Robert Murphy - new Western Bulldogs captain

[Engimal]

Like it was ever going to anyone else...

Good choice. Well done Bulldogs.

 

[Tiger71]

Well done Bob and its also a huge stride forward for gay rights

 

[ThisIsJake]

Hope he doesn't leave 360 due to captaincy responsibilities, great entertainment value and really quite intelligent.

 

[00Stinger]

Meh, its not like they had anyone else who could have been captain

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Kinda strange he wasn't given the job when Griffen was.

 

[bombard]

Good news also for Jae Laffer, lead singer of The Panics. If music doesn't look like, he can be Bob's stuntman and celebrity lookalike.

 

[Adzam]

Good choice. Hopefully this settles down all the recent dramas the dogs have been having

Bulldogs Captain and Coach have gone into business opening a new grog shop

Dumb move
Why give him it for a year so he can retire and give it to Liberatore

The hope/plan is that if they keep giving it to players a year off retirement, they wont have another captain walk out on the club.

Sorry mate but he looks nothing like him. Looks more like Mesut Ozil (german footballer).

 

[Elite Master]

He should have been the next captain after Johnson years ago.

 

[Sherrinator]

It's called a joke buddy, but you knew that didn't you.

Should have put an emoticon or a troll meme

 

[Sherrinator]

So the nice guy thing is an act and everyone hates him?

It is an act, but I don't think everyone hates him.

He has plenty of mates at the club.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Hopefully means less empty Fairfax columns.

 

[AM]

Excellent choice. Not only a good on-field leader he will present the club well off-field too.

It is an act, but I don't think everyone hates him.

He has plenty of mates at the club.

So you are saying he is a bad person?

 

[Testekill]

Like it was ever going to anyone else...

Only other likely option would have been Morris.

 

[andrew coombs]

Excellent appointment. Very smart level headed bloke who is passionate about his club. Been a bloody good player too.

 

[joop]

Should have put an emoticon or a troll meme

So every time someone is sarcastic it's trolling? Good one buddy

 

[Dan]

Are clubs obligated by the AFL to have a captain?

 

[MeestaNob]

Update the logo, Gordon.

 

[Bazzar]

Hope he doesn't leave 360 due to captaincy responsibilities, great entertainment value and really quite intelligent.

More to the point you better hope 360 is still around, and by the sounds of it the hosts and format could be changing.

He has plenty of mates at the club.

so what's your point?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Word around the traps is that Murphy may not be the same guy you get on camera.

Why would you bother perpetuating a bullshit rumour like that?
