Bob Murphy possible retirement ?

[Le Grille]

There are so many bitter flogs on Bigfooty. It's actually quite sad.

Look, first it's an internet chat board who cares if people don't like Bob. I'd doubt there is a player on an AFL list that is like by 100% of all fans.

Two: Surely you can see how some people could get sick of the love fest in the media about him (not necessarily his own doing)

Seriously for every 'bitter flog' there appears to be a 'hyper sensitive princess'

For the record I think Bob is an excellent player but I wouldn't call him elite.

Funny the timing of this thread being posted Murph and Bev had just strolled past me for a private dinner with a few others on Bond St.
Carrying a bit extra was Bob.

Given he would have barely put on 5 kg since he was 17, I can't imagine a couple of weeks out (where he's still been training) would be that unkind to him that it would be visibly noticeable.

Middle eastern cuisine can do that to ya

Don't worry ..you can still love,adore and worship him even if he does have a fat gut now.

What's that? Bob Murphy married a middle eastern woman and has put on 30kgs in the offseason!!!??

 

[Elite Master]

With Harvey and Pav retired Murphy is the last link to the last centenary being the lone survivor of the 1999 draft. I was really expecting him to go around again.

Some of the people on this thread would troll their own mothers I reckon, probably glad to have bridges over their heads with the rain around too....

Robert Murphy - Footscray club legend, loyal no matter what and universally respected, or should be.
Lenny Hayes - St Kilda club legend, loyal no matter what and universally respected too, or also should be.

I hope Bob goes on, if not I pity those fly in fans who will forever be of the inane belief that Zaine Cordy>Robert Murphy simply because a flag means everything.

A flag is everything, you play football to win premierships. Not to play hopscotch at training

Bob Murphy retire? I saw him running the back streets of Carlton early Sunday morning, in a lather of sweat. I wonder when he will announce the retirement.

If you make AA in my book you are elite. If you make AA captain you are the elite of the elite. Murphy has done both - surprised there'd be any discussion or doubt about Murphy's elite status.

Each to their own I guess.

The AA captain usually makes the AA team.

[Superduperouzel]

Really happy we´re gonna see Bob go around one more time. Champion player. Best of luck to him.

 

[ABSOLUTE MADMAN]

Hayes is closer to Sam Mitchell than he is to Robert Murphy IMO. Well above Murphy.

 

[Halftimehero]

Lenny Hayes is that far ahead of Bob Murphy its not funny. Lenny an absolute gun, Bob been a really good player but not even close to the same class.

 

[ManOfClay]

Lenny Hayes is so overrated.

Both guns and very different types of players

Lenny Hayes is so overrated.

But is he better than Bob?

One has a Norm Smith medal, the other will not be able to say they played in a grand final.

 

[Gunplay]

Pity he couldn't have played and won a premiership before retirement....oh well.

 

[ManOfClay]

Even Lenny doesn't admit to his norm smith

 

[King_Steele]

Even Lenny doesn't admit to his norm smith

Of course he wouldn't.

Doesn't deminish the fact he is a Norm Smith medallist.

 

[Halftimehero]

No he probably doesn't but the other bloke paraded around in a medal for days that he definitely had no claims to.
