Perfect bookend for this week's media

If this is true, and all it takes to derail our efforts are some bruised feelings and harsh words, apologies for my french, but that's mentally p*ssweak. Did we think we were just going to turn up this season and someone would hand the flag to us? Performing well regardless of the circumstances, internal or external, is a mark of a champion team.

It just seems that we have too many players too busy looking around for an excuse rather than at the mirror and taking some responsibility for their own performances.

Thinking the same thing we are mentally timid if this thing can de-rail a season! Much as it pains me look at the problems Stkilda have had yet it hasn't bothered them. Time for excusesis over and the time to deliver has to happen....

Which players have been giving excuses for poor performances? - apart from Aker who is now injured.

Should be no excuses for the lack of effort and intensity the team dished up last weekend.Just have a look at Geelong with the intense focus on Ablett,yet they're performing even better than ever.I think the Football world will be interested in how the Dogs perform

Murph's own opening speech on the night was a big highlight. Have heard numerous Charlie speeches over the years but this one was just extra special, one that will live on forever.

Murph's speech was brilliant. Show's the true spirit and heart of the man.
When Charlie said "every time you pull on the Jumper and under it is a Heart" quite a few current players seemed to bow their heads wjth their tails between their legs.

They did today too.

'HIT 'em hard, hit 'em bloody often.''

Saturday night was the inaugural Footscray-Western Bulldogs Hall of Fame function, and it was a beauty. Fourteen-hundred people turned out to honour the first inductees. Our champions. But in reality, the night was about a lot, lot more. In effect, it was a history lesson - on Footscray, football, culture and unity



Brilliant article, I was there at the Hall of Fame and Murph's opening speech was amazingly inspirational
