NOW that his playing days are over, Bob Murphy has joined the Fox Footy team full-time.

And the Western Bulldogs great will also have his own show.

As well as being a regular AFL 360 panel member this season, Murphy will headline Bob — a new Fox Footy show that will see the former Bulldogs skipper interview a variety of iconic Australians he has always wanted to meet.

The show, which will be a 10-part documentary series special for Fox Footy, is set to begin in the middle of the 2018 AFL season.

Round 18

Murphy, along with his dog Arthur, will meet with some of his favourite celebrities in their own environment, where they’ll share their favourite sporting anecdotes and passions, as well as uncover the thing that binds them together: A love of footy.

Murphy said to expect warm yet entertaining chats with his guests that will be based around their relationship with football.

He added that the show would reveal and revel in the passionate sports fan within the celebrity.

“All of the jigsaw pieces are set up for an intriguing show. A cool car, a suave guest, a questionable host and a peculiar dog. It could go anywhere!” Murphy said.

“We’re all bound together by a passion for the game and it’s inherent tribalism, but I want to leave a bit of space for spontaneity. Explore the space between the spokes.”

As well as hosting his own show, Murphy will team up with good mate and fellow 2018 retiree Nick Riewoldt for a regular spot on Fox Footy’s flagship show AFL 360.

Murphy and Riewoldt will join co-hosts Gerard Whateley and Mark Robinson at the 360 desk every Wednesday night this season.

Murphy is Fox Footy’s latest big-name signing for 2018, following the acquisitions of Riewoldt and Melbourne champion Garry Lyon over the summer.

Lyon, as well as Sydney premiership coach and recent Melbourne coach Paul Roos, headline a new-look panel for the Monday night award-winning On The Couch program.

Both Riewoldt and Lyon will be providing special comments during Fox Footy broadcasts of AFL games this year.
