If he wants to be involved at club level on an ongoing basis no bad thing getting experience elsewhere

I’ll miss his cheerleading from the side

Maybe it’s just a cunning means of getting to Perth for the GF

Dont tell me his wife wants to go there too?

Good on him. He is ethical in his choice not to go to a Adelaide or Essendon, but to a club that could do with a bit of success. Isn’t the CEO an ex doggie?

 

[mcgleereturns]

I can stomach this more than Gia to Essendon and Boyd to Collingwood. Good luck to him branching out to new opportunities where he can find them. May have run out of media options or wants a change. Freo is probably the least offensive choice too. Served us well.

Yeah, Simon Garlick. Mathew Boyd is also at Freo currently.

If he has to go somewhere, I'm glad it's Freo.

Did Boyd move from the Pies?

 

[ScragCity]

Honestly I'm really grateful. Love the bloke but I've got Bob Fatigue Syndrome ('BFS').

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Did Boyd move from the Pies?

Yes, at the end of 2020.

 

[Spiritof82]

Did Boyd move from the Pies?

Left Collingwood last year for Freo

Good luck Bob.
But if you listen to Bob himself he was dreamy and aloof during most of his playing days. And fired up when needed at a time of crisis. Then got AA captain. But there were three men of that era who were epic team men, different in their own ways. One is at Freo now as assistant coach, Matty Boyd. One is working for our marketing?? Dale Morris and the other was Picko. We need to harness more out of Morris and Picko, these three are legendary even beyond Bob.

My guess Boyd helped him get the job there.

 

[Some Idiot]

Sounds like a tough gig and big challenge for him.

Can +1 this, hopefully Barkley Street picks up some new hosts who uh.. can interview properly.

"Former Western Bulldogs’ skipper Bob Murphy says he will be “all in” at Fremantle as soon as he starts as their new head of football and high performance later this year.

He expects to be on a steep learning curve as he oversees the club’s AFL and AFLW programs in a broad operational role within the football department that will also encompass leadership."

I don't mind Freo so I give permission for him to go ahead.

Daniel Cross went okay in that department too
