Western Bulldogs captain Bob Murphy is expected to become the latest AFL champion to announce his retirement on Tuesday.

The Bulldogs have called a press conference with Murphy and coach Luke Beveridge for 11.15 on Tuesday morning.

Murphy, the oldest player in the competition at 35, will call it quits after more than 300 games and two All-Australian selections (once as captain).

One of the most skilful players the game has seen, the dashing defender holds the distinction of being the only active player who was drafted in the 1990s – he was taken at pick 13 in the 1999 draft.
