Heard a whisper that he has asked the club to release him from his final year of his contract as he wishes to head home to the Northern Territory.
From my understanding he has initiated this move.

WESTERN Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney has challenged his players to play "total footy".
In a stirring address at the club's best and fairest count on Friday...
The season is over (it was over long time prior to last night) but we will hear no more "its matematically possible and "the playing group still has the belief" Season 2011 has gone south, sour and disappointed many. Reasons are numerous and varied BUT its time for decisions and looking forward...
Well done Robert Murphy one my favourite players and a real joy to watch him play and carries himself well on and off the field.
Deserved his own thread I think.
All the best Bob

THE BULLDOGS' season is as good as over, and the club needs to urgently sort out the Brian Lake saga in its best interests now and into the future.
We've all known for a...
MY FEAR is that Aker did not alienate all or even the majority of the playing group but alienated a small number of players but the wrong players.
I have always thought that there has always been a small group of players that have been able to dictate to the club more than they should...

THE Brian Lake saga is over, with the All-Australian defender committing to stay at the Western Bulldogs.
It is understood Lake told the Dogs last night that he would accept a four-year deal and a...
Although this may not have much to do with the Bulldogs I thinks its important for couple of reasons.
1. Clubs seem more willing than ever to trade for picks and players. I can never recall a deal announced prior to trade period starting AND
2. In many ways this trade sets the Market for...
Could someone help me out.
I have an AFL Membership with Western Bulldog Club Support, when can I buy tickets for the AFL Members reserve
Monday - with all other members OR
Tuesday - when all AFL Mmebers can purchase.
Any help to my query
Ryan Hargrave has signed for a further 3 years with the Dogs.
I dont usually by the paper after a loss but my son wanted the Simpsons Stickers and I was forced to buy the Sunday Herald Sun.
Well done Shaggy and in typical Shaggy style signed up with the dogs with minimal fuss and fan fare.

Confirmed Tom out for 2 - 3 weeks and Griffen out for at least two weeks.
Cross another week away.
Injuries are and will take a toll now when it matters.
This weeks game is the biggest in a couple of years for the club.
This is how I see it
1. Even if we beat West Coast, after the Lions drew with Essendon last night we would still have needed to beat Brisbane for us to settle a top four spot. So there is no real change in the need to beat...
Not sure if I heard correctly but apparently Gilbee has a hair line fracture in his fibula.
Does anyone know if this is correct and if so what weeks does one miss with this type of injury?
Griffen and Hill have joined Morris, Boyd , Murphy, Cross, Johnno and Gia in signing on with dogs.
Its in the herald sun sorry cannot do link.
Article also states that the club will now make contact with other players reg contract negotiations.
GREAT NEWS
Pretty sure he was our fitness guru when we lost him to the Australian Cricket Team.
In todays Herald Sun it states that Carlton have appointed a Justin Cordy to their coaching staff.
If its the same Justin Cordy well who says the money cant buy just about anything. They outpriced us on...
With tommorrows deadline looming it seems to me the Dogs will be very busy tommorrow.
As yet no paper work has gone through for any of the Dogs deal, but thats no reason to panic.
McMahon and Power are definately on the market and Hudson will at least cost us our pic 22.
I think if we...
The Age is reporting that Brett Montgomery has joined the Blues as an assistant coach.
I thought he was staying at the Kennel in some role.
We have got several vacancies now so we better get active in the assistant coaching staff area etc.
A good friend of mine who is well connected with the Cats has told me the Dogs are keen on him and a trade is very likely.
He also told me Dogs are getting very much on the front foot and are active for trades.
Tim Callan may be used as a inside midfielder/stopper
One thing that really disappointed me yesteday was how the Hawthorn players treated us with contempt and we did nothing about it.
On more than one occassion Hawthoen players would ruffle our players hair as a gesture of its ok you are just not upto it, its ok we are just to good etc. They...
I think there are several issues that need to be addressed, some now and others over the pre season. I would like other peoples thoughts.
1. Our first quarters and in particular first twenty minutes.
I would love to see scores for and against for the first twenty minutes of our games this...
Looking at the Ladder as is today the top six clubs have a common factor which we lack and I believe is our achilles heel and that is Key Forwards 190cm and above who are used when entering inside 50.
West Coast Lynch-Hansen, Cats Mooney, Ottens, N.Ablett, Hawks Franklin, Roughead, Boyle...
It seems to me in the last couple of years we have not developed or implemented a tagger/stopper type player.
It seems that Eade is prepared to go head to head with other teams in terms of not employing a tag week in week out.
I once thought Matthew Boyd would develop into that roll but it...
