Dogs seeing parallels with 2016

Liberatore, 26, has declared a year out of the game because of a serious knee injury has helped him rediscover his zest. That has been on show so far, with the midfield hard nut averaging 28 disposals, and he is ranked fourth in the league for hard-ball gets and clearances.


Murphy told The Age Real Footy podcast that Liberatore was the Dogs’ spiritual leader.


“No doubt. Here is my analogy – the great players you hear being talked about, [their] physical presence, people around them walk taller when they are there,” he said.


“Tom is like that for the Bulldogs. I don’t know what he is – five-foot 11, six foot – but he has got a presence, he has got that something else that makes his teammates walk taller.”


Having missed the finals in the two seasons since they claimed a breakthrough flag, the Dogs, at times, had been criticised for living in past glories. However, Liberatore’s return has put a more positive spin on such a claim, for this revamped Dogs unit does have favourable comparisons with its 2016 predecessor.
