The hard task is shifting the mindset to our leaders getting others to perform at their best rather than trying to do even more themselves.
I'd like to see 2 or 3 kids given spots on the leadership next year and look at giving them pretty strong leadership mentoring.
I have been critical of Murphy as a leader but if he can back up week in week our what he did today I would complain.
He was in hard at every single contest when the game was drifting away from us early. He got hammered by the opposition but still ran his heart out and was pivotal in 'leading' us back into the game. Played a Selwood type game today.
Was the closest I have seen from him to the pre shoulder injury days.
Hats off to him today challenge now is to back it up next week.
