Why isnt it 4:30 already..... ????

This has the makings of one of those fairytale moments! Amazing stuff! Even with the playing group knowing he will play next year may even give us a bit more of a belief for next year. May exterminate that flat feeling of not having him around

The only way it will be a fairytale is if we win this year and next years premiership.

The only way it will be a fairytale is if we win this year and next years premiership.

That's what I was hinting at would be remembered as folk lore.

Smiling like an absolute Cheshire Cat right now.

After taking some time to consider his future, Western Bulldogs Captain Bob Murphy says he has “unfinished business” and will play on for an 18th AFL season in 2017.

Murphy yesterday signed a contract to extend a career that has produced so much, including 295 games, two All-Australian nods including one as captain, AFLPA best captain award and three international rules series.

List Manager Jason McCartney said Murphy’s influence was immeasurable and that his signature was a major boost for the Club.

“The decision to offer Bob another contract was an easy one because of just how much he brings holistically to this place,” McCartney said.

“He is such an important figure here, both from a leadership perspective but what he also offers as a player.”

“It was welcome news for everyone at the Club.”

The 33-year-old made the decision after spending some time away and cited his desire to give more to the Club that drafted him with pick 13 in the 1999 AFL Draft.

“I’ve still got the passion to play and obviously, there’s unfinished business for this team and our Club,” Murphy said.

“To have your Club in your corner, saying that they really want you to play again can’t be underestimated.”

“I feel like I can get back to playing good footy, and I still feel like I’ve got something to offer. I miss it, I miss playing with those boys.”

So happy...he's still massive for our team.

 

[Super Hans]

I am so happy. So, so happy.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I'll be grinning stupidly all the way through 360 tonight.

 

[NoName]

Yes!! You made the correct decision Bob.

We will be a very good team next season.

 

[TedDougChris]

I'll be grinning stupidly all the way through 360 tonight.

If you drop the grinning part, you will just be channelling the spirit of Robbo as he 'presents' the show......

 

[TimlinOfficial]

So next season, we acquire Stewart Crameri and Bob Murphy as additions to a side that is the 5th youngest in the competition and 4th on the ladder half way through the year. Woof.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Robbo said he'd "moved on" after Bob did his knee. Now he'll be back on the bandwagon no doubt.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Fantastic news. Just smiled and looked at my phone as though I was a 18 year old that just got a booty call confirmation.

In far away Queensland I received a phone call at work from my 20 year old son in tears. Bob Murphy is playing on, nuff said.

So here I sit watching his video with a lump in my throat. Game On Bitches, here we come!

Fantastic news. Would be crushing to lose our spiritual leader, and he deserved better than a knee injury to end his career. He'll come back next year and play a starring role in our third premiership.

Oh, and Brian Lake can eat a massive bag.
