Robert Murphy - new Western Bulldogs captain

[Substance]

We made the mistake of just picking the best player. Should have been Bob a long time ago.

Everyone makes that mistake. It's a very strange trend.

 

[Ant_]

I would have thought Matty Boyd or Cross. Dogs are a weird bunch

So still think we should've picked this guy?

 

[King Bont]

This man is the best captain in the league.

Your man jonesy is up there too!

 

[Northworth]

He is proving to be a great captain - always good in a clutch - Doggies have been awesome this year - Griffen leaving opened up all sorts of possibilities

Crows haven't ...twice in a row

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

There best captain since Scott Wynd.

 

[Rack Watts]

Phenomenal leader, never would have picked it.
Just always seemed like the type of bloke you'd love a beer with.
Not an actual onfield general!

We're all glad you overlooked him

Love Crossy. All heart. Can't wait for him to step back into the fold.

 

[Bluelegs]

Bob had an air of Flower about him today. Inspired choice by the Dogs.

 

[beert]

I would love to see the Bulldogs win a flag, just for him. Lovely bloke and played out of his skin today.

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

I've met him several times thru a mutual friend.
I can guarantee he is bonafide genuine good bloke.

 

[Doggies7]

Bob for AA Captain at the end of the year would be amazing.

I've heard that 'rumour' a few times now and it's always "from a friend of a friend" or "the word going around".

Yet whenever anyone who has actually met him (myself included) comments, you hear about how good a bloke he is.

Funny that.

He'd be clubhouse leader at the moment.

Hard not to like and respect Bob. Great to see him play well and have some success albeit round 5.

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

Uh huh. Really dumb.

 

[pacman]

Don't like the idea of giving it to someone at his age...He has one or two years left, but really with no much choice other than lumping it on a kid they couldn't pick a better guy. Just get lost with your unfunny "rascal of the week" crap.

Watch footy much?
Senior players are required for Captains for young sides.

Read my post much?

Don't watch much footy at all really. Only every game every week.

Says dumb move, you were wrong.

Another Richmond supporter.
We'd have ten flags in a row if players came to the club they supported!

 

[MF]

Always liked him as a player and admired him in the media. Strangely enough watching him carve my side up yesterday made me respect him even more.

He's one of the main reasons I'd love to see the dogs really do well in the next couple of years.

Can you read? I never said it was a dumb move. I even agreed he was the best for the job. * me...

 

[WSmith]

Dogs doing well but saints with reiwoldt back will smash em this week!!!

 

[mysainters]

I like him, and rate him highly.

Except this week
