BRENDAN McCartney has stood firm as Western Bulldogs coach despite a lack of obvious success since he took over in 2012.
He has always said it will be a long journey for the yelpers but every now and then we see a genuine glimpse of a rosy future and McCartney takes his place in this week's Team of the Round.
Joining him are some of his pupils in Robert Murphy, Adam Cooney and Luke Dahlhaus in a rare week where the Dogs have four inclusions.
And then there are some new faces in Cameron O'Shea and Marley Williams, two young men who have put together highly impressive seasons.

B: Cameron O'Shea (Port Adelaide): The quiet achiever in the success story team of the season.
Michael Johnson (Fremantle): Where is his name when All Australian selection is mentioned?
Marley Williams (Collingwood): Just another example of how productive the rookie draft can be.
HB: Andrew Mackie (Geelong): Another sublime display of rebound defence.
Lachlan Hansen (North Melbourne): Become a different player since returning to defence.
Robert Murphy (Western Bulldogs): The old bloke has a bit of run left.

Adam Cooney (Western Bulldogs): When his body allows him, a rare talent.
HF: Ryan O'Keefe (Sydney): Arguably in career best form despite his 32 years.
Jeremy Cameron (Greater Western Sydney): The comparisons with Royce Hart are fully justified.
Nathan Fyfe (Fremantle): As it stands is arguably Freo's best player.

R: Matthew Kreuzer (Carlton): Big Humphrey is making a few eat their words.
Tom Liberatore (Western Bulldogs): Maybe he is the most improved in the game.
