BFL: Brad Murphy to coach Melton Bloods

New Melton Bloods coach Brad Murphy is looking forward to announcing new recruits in the coming weeks.

The playing coach, who played AFL with the Western Bulldogs and VFL for Werribee, joins from Western Region league team Hoppers Crossing.

Murphy, 29, captained Hoppers Crossing and coached three under-18 premierships with the club.

“When we play sides next year I want them to know they’re in for a four-quarter contest,” Murphy said.
