Hawks moved Hodge and Lewis on because they wanted to rebuild with Mitchell and Omeara.....Gibbs wanted out for money and finals, its the way of footy now that players move around more and even loyal servants
end up at different clubs for different reasons.
Cripps is now the unofficial anointed leader IMO......I'd rather we move on gracefully from the Kruezer, Gibbs, Murphy era and have other players taking on their responsibilities, if that means suggesting they move on like Hodge, Lewis then fine, if it means them stepping back and giving more games/time to kids then thats fine with me too.....they can be around to assist but I'd rather a kid like Polson play more than Murphy for the rest of the season given the year is over for us apart from development.
Play more seniors when its a more winnable game but vs teams like the Crows at home it would be Murphy out, Polson in for example....
Hodge was on one leg at retired, then was coaxed out of retirement by Fagan. Not comparable to Murph. There are other boat anchors we can get rid of create space ahead of Murph. Gibbs was another story, wanted to go home to mummy and daddy and get an armchair ride into finals, strong character is Bryce. I am fully aware of how footy is now, I just dont agree with getting rid of your skipper.
