Stats
Bio
Recruited from South Belgrave in the Dandenong Ranges, Bob Murdoch was a solidly built utility who added physical presence to Hawthorn's lineup during the early 1930s. Born in Bright, he stood just 174cm but weighed a robust 85kg, a frame that allowed him to hold his ground in contested situations against taller opponents. Murdoch made his VFL debut in the opening round of the 1932 season and showed early promise as a rotating option, eventually kicking six goals across his 20-game career. His tenure coincided with a bleak period for the club, then known as the Mayblooms, and he played his final senior match at the conclusion of the 1933 season before departing the VFL scene.
