BULLDOGS captain Bob Murphy is one of the AFL’s most loved players but he has still copped some stinging — and occasionally hilarious — sledges during his 295-game career.
Some are from the usual suspects but others you probably don’t expect.
Today he revealed the five greatest sledges he has been on the end of on the footy field.
4. JUSTIN KOSCHITZKE
Murphy said ‘Kosi’ “was not renowned as the sharpest thinker or the sharpest with his tongue” on the footy field but he came up with a beauty after the Dogs veteran gave him a serve during another Bulldogs v St Kilda game.
“At one point we were standing next to each other and he was mouthing off to a younger player about goalscoring and I said, ‘Kosi, mate, you should be the last bloke who is giving a bit of lip.
“He just turned and said, ‘Murph, you’ve got a head the size of a Mintie.
“A minute later the ball got kicked out and I heard over my shoulder, ‘Someone get Mintie’. That’s the essence of a good sledge, it can be quite distracting.”
****ing LOL. My mate and I have called Bob Murphy 'Strepsil' since as long as I can remember...
Due to his offensive lozenge-shaped head.
