To be fair why would Murphy want it? The old line coaches rattle out at the final training session before a GF that your all part of it holds little to no weight to those not picked.
I liked that Beveridge wants the medal put in the dogs museum seemed like a nice touch.
More importantly it has thrown into the spotlight the topic of medals for players outside the gameday 22, and the AFL under Gil is nothing if not 100% reactionary so they'll most likely change the rules tomorrow or something.

I always assumed he would pretty weird if he decided to keep it. Beveridge should keep it it can go in a museum when he's dead - although maybe he's expecting a couple more.
Good.
I hope they shut up about it now.

premiership medal > coaches medal
Its almost like giving a kid a ribbon for coming in 9th place. Bevo earned it as a coach, but for a player its never going to compensate not wining the real thing

If it wasn't for the media whipped up circle jerk over this it would have been a nice touch that most people knew would end up in the medal being returned to its rightful owner. The gesture has been diluted because of the coverage imo.

and his car from 2011 MOTY?
Got more airtime than it probably needed to, and that's not Bob's fault.
I figured he would give it back, it would be a hollow feeling to get out your Jock McHale medal when you weren't the premiership coach. Museum is the perfect resting place for it.

I honestly can't understand all this hoopla about the damn medal.
If you win a flag, you win a flag.
If LRT hurls his 2005 medal off a bridge, Swans supporters aren't going to forget that he was a critical part of the first flag in our lifetime.
The mantlepiece that this particular medal sits on isnt going to change the fact that Beveridge helped break their drought or that Bob only played 3 games.

You're kidding right? Maybe it's just the cynic in me, but I thought it was orchestrated to draw as much attention as possible. Beveridge gives his entire speech, walks away from the microphone, pauses, walks back to the microphone, 'oh, one more thing.' Then Bob Murphy does about three laps of the ground, flirting with the idea of pulling off his club jacket to reveal his matchday guernsey.
Could've easily done it quietly, not even later in the change rooms, but off to the side of the dias. The cameras still would have caught the moment and Murphy still would've been able to join in the celebrations without co-opting the lifting of the premiership cup which is always done with coach and captain.

Richo gave Murphy his piece of fried chicken.
It too will go into the museum.

Bob should thank Bevo for his wonderful gesture and hand the medal back.
More importantly, Sid should return Bob's knee.

Did somebody give back Murphy his dignity?
Would seem a fair trade.

I heard 'bevo' is going to now wait until 'murph' is sleeping and place it around his neck to find it when he wakes up. 'Murph' will then take it back to 'bevo' and be like "mate, what's this about?". 'Bevo' will reply with "fair dinkum, the footy gods must have put it there". 'Murph' will be like "mmm seems plausible I guess but look Bev, I really think you deserve it more than me. You're a top bloke Bev, but don't think that this is over".
Who knows how it will unfold after that.
