all I can say is **** yeah.

also note how I don't give people heart attacks by using resigns instead of re-signs

 

[Dancing Dougy]

Yay!!!

 

[Fossie 32]

Good to hear

If his body is up for it, why the hell not..

 

[Dizzy Stuff]

Good news. Barring injury, hopefully he can get to 300 now.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Beautiful news, pure silk as a player and pure heart as a captain. The added bonus is the longer Murph hangs around it gives Bont a bit more time to mature until he is named Murph's eventual successor.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Good. The spectre of free agency was looming large.

 

[Unorth]

Murph sticking around to get that flag

 

[Dancing Dougy]

You've got to love Macartney's list management. Post Ward leaving we've been in very safe hands with him. Kudos!!

Fair call, although hopefully our club gives the Captaincy to the most appropriate leader next time, rather than our best player........otherwise the Bont May take up pig-shooting and become uncontactable at the most inconvenient times.......

The Herald Sun say he's signed on until the end of 2017. I'm sure that's wrong, though.

Would prefer Roughead to Bont, kid has enough pressure on his shoulders, no need to make him captain while still in his young 20s

 

[Hrovat24]

I think that will be murphs last year to be honest , I guess that means ayce cordy will be captain in 2017

 

[Sharkey66]

All going well he will become our next 300 gamer.

 

[DogDays]

My admiration for this bloke is unbelievable, if our pups continue to follow him then the love for the club surely must flow. A true champion and inspiration to us all.

Robert Murphy, we salute you - there is no one that embodies #bemorebulldog more!

Awesome news. Hope he is allowed to be captain again next year.

I dare any man or woman to suggest it should be anyone else!

Club needs to get on front foot and request that his scheduled 300th game be played in Melbourne along with the following 2 weeks just in case he misses a game or 2 with injury.

His choice you would thing

 

[Mofra]

Very much deserves to be part of the 300 club. Glad he's signed on

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

Playing his best football as captain at the age of 32 with absolutely no signs of slowing down. Please don't suggest this is his last contract based on his age and nothing else. At this rate he has 3 years left minimum.
Our best player by a country mile. He has the 'X-Factor' of a Bont with the 'surety' of a Morris.
Consistent and resilient, this guy is our Robbie Flower.

 

[Yojimbo]

Giving the up and coming kids time to learn can only be
seen as a massive plus especially if they are learning
from the Jedi master of efficiency. He has still got a lot
to offer before he falls off the cliff or father time grabs
a hold.

 

[Mutt]

Would love Murph to still be skipper when we win our flag in a year or two.

 

[Tommycash]

I really hope he can keep playing beyond even this new contract!

 

[TempleKelvington]

Is he our best skipper ever? Certainly in my time I think he is. And that is saying a bit, Johno was pretty good. I just think he is the package on and off field.
