    Bob Murphy - Part Two, Captain and Coach



    http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/vi...tain-and-coach

    In part two of Sons of the West, Bulldogs Captain Bob Murphy opens up about working under Senior Coach Luke Beveridge and the emotional roller coaster of beating the Swans followed by a narrow loss to the Saints a week later. Beveridge also speaks about his early days at the club and anointing Murphy as captain.

    I can't help but get emotional watching these fantastic videos with Bob talking about the Club.

    Amazing .. Seems this club is a family, this is different from anything I've ever seen before, tight nit, in it together, striving to do something, striving to be winners.

    Excellent. Super compelling.

    But gotta point out, why does Maccas get a plug at the very end???

    Strange that made the cut.

    It was a mission brand Big Mac...

    Better than some the very average stuff there was from the club in the last few years. In fact, incredibly better and whomever is behind the change in tact needs a pay rise when the club earns more money.

    I'd kept my shit together about Clay until I watched that video. If you can watch that poor bloke crying as he comes off on the stretcher, and then his face as he hobbles through the rooms, if you can see that without shedding a tear you've got ice in your veins.

    Great insight into the very fabric of what two men have brought to our club through Bevo's appointment and Murph's captaincy this year and also the hope they have for the club's future.
    May it continue to reign for many years to come.

    To me it showed that Murph is just an ordinary dad that can eat Macca's with his kids, when he is not being our captain Bob.

    The only thing unreasonable is that you asked that question!

    The answer is yes, of course the answer is yes.

    This is such a well presented clip. You get a sense that we are at the beginning of something great. Murphy comes across as a ripping bloke that would be a pleasure to play footy under his captaincy. As for Bevo, he has integrated with the club beautifully.

    Murph is just so comfortable in front of the camera......it's like a performance. Electronic media must be lining up for this bloke's services once he retires in 4 or 5 years time.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    So good.

    I watched an ESPN 30 for 30 film last night, 4 Days in October, about the Red Sox breaking the curse. Got me excited for the day we break ours, and it would be so fitting if it coincided with this video series.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
