Bob Murphy

[Judd2Sewell]

Pretty much everyone's second favourite player. Fingers are well and truly crossed for him.

 

[moginie]

Awful way to end the game. I really hope that it isn't serious and he can be right to go as soon as possible.

It was a great game today and I wouldn't want an injury to dominate the story.

You seem to be the beholder of that, so as I remarked, fill me in on the cooling of period, one day? one week? Remember never said he deserved this shit to happen. Just commented on the Bob (man love) Bob (respect) Bob (different cat) Bob (not your average player) love he got from the umps today. Geez touchy much.
But then again today's generation do like to celebrate or grieve tragedy like no other time in history.

I'm 47 and wish i was " today's generation" .
Think what you like !!

Best of luck to Bob. Dead set champ in every respect.


Can't say the same for BNG....

The man may have just had his career ended cruelly by an innocuous injury. This thread is made to show our support for a great sportsman and a good human being. Let's just leave the snidey unnecessary comments out of it for one second.

I know he's not one of ours but i love everything about the bloke ...
My fingers are crossed for him and i hope you all share my sentiment ....
Good luck Murph ur a champion of the game and don't deserve to go out the wrong way ....

Agree completely, Dasher.

A fine player, a champion bloke and the spiritual leader of his footy club.

I hope it's not as bad as it looks.

I'm sure common sense will tap you of the shoulder .

Common sense is not very common.

Agreed. Classy post for a classy guy. Such a pity after dogs have been so many years in the wilderness.

 

[wizzard400]

Share all the sentiments. Love watching him play and is a terrific bloke. Hopefully it's not serious, doesn't deserve to end his career this way

snidey - Nothing of the sought.
unnecessary - Maybe, still game day, play it like I see it, unapologetic.

Thanks for all your kind words

The word from the rooms is it is the worst case. ACL

Well done on today again you reminded all why you are the best.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

There's so much to like about the future of your club. And Murphy deserves to be around to taste some of the undoubted success to come.

It's a tough game sometimes.

 

[Adebisi]

For sure ACL, for sure took some pleasure out of that victory. With so many Dheads in the league, Murph is an even outer-er.
But why think of retirement...in great form. And a great leader, should have been captain years ago.

 

[Max Powers]

Wish him well, hate to see any player injured. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

 

[marklar]

Never like seeing a footy player cop a serious injury, doesn't matter which team he plays for.

 

[madhawksfan]

Shattered for Bob if it is infact an ACL. A terrible end to a terrific game.

You can't help but respect and admire the guy. A true ambassador of the game and very humble.

Really good player. Respect!

 

[rdhopkins2]

Fantastic servant of the a Dogs. Would be horrible if he is forced to retire on that note. All the best to Bob.

I completely agree, Bob Murphy is a treasure to Aussie rules , he's a real Scragger and old fashioned Footscray footballer. And they are bloody good. I hope that the injury is not a bad knee. I really do . Good luck Bob, get back on track mate.
Well said from halfback dasher.

 

[NiceJacketJeff]

Bob goes about it the right way on and off the field. Hope he's back to lead that group before years end.

 

[eldorado]

Yep...

Unlike some players who like to do the 'thoughtful, intelligent,' persona, (cough...*Dermie...cough), when you read his stuff, you realise he genuinely is one...a great player as well

Would be a great shame to see him go out this way...hopefully not the end.

All the best to him.

 

[bigton08]

Shit all round. I feel bad for Bob and the Dogs supporters.

I feel sorry for him but not the supporters who gives a toss about their supporters(they seem quite feral) I only care about Hawthorn.Hawthorn ALWAYS

 

[HawkMongrel]

Sad stuff, gutted for him and Dogs fans.

Hope he's up and about again for at least five more. Deserves nothing less.
