Robert Murphy - new Western Bulldogs captain

[Doggy Dan]

I would have thought Matty Boyd or Cross. Dogs are a weird bunch

Even though Cross has played for Melbourne for a year? Weird!

 

[Dazb86]

Could work wonders like it did for Wayne Carey.

Or could work bad wonders like for Jack Trengove.

He's a really quiet kid. Doubt he'll ever get the captaincy. Does the on field leadership stuff really well though. Is always first in when there's an altercation on the field etc. Think he could be a Vice Captain eventually.

So appointing someone captain who plays for the Demons is normal?

How much of that is leadership and how much is it just taking after his old man? Libba jnr is much more polished but still has that real campaigner streak in him

 

[Tulip]

This man is the best captain in the league.

 

[Upgrayedd]

And he's having a F**king stellar year off the half back so far

 

[The_Eagles]

Good kicking and decisions in the wet today

 

[funk44]

so much love right now

 

[DaVillaBlues]

The boy is a star !!

 

[ManOfClay]

So much respect for Bob. He's close to being Chris Grant level of favourite son.

Way he's playing is probably confirming that he'll at least be in the Bulldogs HOF.

 

[doggies ftw]

Wow he has gone to another level this year. Just so clean and dependable. How about the kick off the left in the wet! Last week kicked a 50m beauty spinning onto his left on the boundary, into the center of the ground where Wood marked and kept running without even having to break stride. It was ****ing beautiful.

After the last off season the club was nearly torn apart. Bob Murphy, Jake Stringer and Jordan Roughead were immense in terms of team and club morale.

Bob has continued on like that

 

[Substance]

This man is the best captain in the league.

If he isn't, he's equal best.

 

[HTPunter]

Wouldn't say he is the best captain in the AFL but he's in AA form for a HBF/BP spot, is leading his team from the front (4-1 - have played Tiges, Crows, Swans and perhaps even Eagles who I think most would have tipped the Dogs to lose before round 1) and looks like he has got another few years in him.

 

[footscraybulldog]

Full homo for Bob.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

How on earth did Griffen ever get the job?

We made the mistake of just picking the best player. Should have been Bob a long time ago.

The footy club means so much to him. He is all heart and soul our Bob!

 

[Banker]

For some reason I always thought he name was Rob!

Defs a great captain so far.

... Well yep Robert is often shortened to Rob, but Bob is also a popular choice.

 

[Righteo]

At this stage is a lock for an AA HBF position, been in phenomenal form this year.

Lots of love for this bloke.

One of those decisions that was made to try and improve a guys leadership and hope it makes him better, rise to to the moment type thing. Unfortunately Griffen is spineless and we didn't realise that at the time.

 

[wian]

he is simply elite
