After widespread change and two different reviews, the Dogs aren’t expected to make many, if any, changes to the football department this off-season.

This time last year they poached Matt Egan from Geelong and promoted him to GM over the pre-season, also adding Daniel Pratt

Hmmm ... I wonder what role they have in mind for him then?

 

[Freshwater]

Just heard on SEN that Bob Murphy has been offered work at the club. Please no, not now whilst Bevo is still there. He is exactly what we don’t need now.

 

[Munnez]

Getting another two this year aswell.

Yep we have to pay full fare for JUH & Darcy like we were the threepeat Tigers. And Lions stockpiling top line talent. Had to get a flag at some point

Before Murphy moved to Fremantle, the dual All-Australian combined his radio commitments at SEN with multiple roles at his old club, including in the W program, the media department and as a club ambassador.

The Bulldogs would like Murphy to return in a similar capacity around his media commitments in 2025.

He would be coming back and doing work with media team like podcast etc and some work with AFLW team.

People really have a problem with that?

Happy with that

 

[Ash1337]

His leadership off field at the club helped win the flag in 2016 so anything he brings will be helpful to the club.

As long as it’s just that sort of stuff and nothing like what his role at Freo was.

 

[maddog37]

Murphy is driven and has a hard edge. I feel he would be familiar enough to some yet still able to serve up some home truths to a few.

 

[dergert]

No changes to footy dept.... Nah can't cop that.

Also, wasn't Bob whiteanting Peter Bell at Freo?

Why? We drastically improved in all aspects of the game outside of accuracy and Johnson is part time hence he is who we should be moving on

Look I understand we lost another elimination final but it was clear that the club took very significant steps forward for the final 16 weeks of the season. It was a completely different system and the results spoke for themselves other than a poor final.

We made massive changes last offseason. Why do we need to make changes for the sake of it? Sometimes stability is important. We were ranked in the top 2 for scoring AND defense last season.

Yuck

I’m only keen if he’s just coming back to do the podcast again.
