Carlton Supporters Club

Murphy has hardly delivered on the field since he was captain.

I would make Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer co captains until Weitering is ready.

A couple of megaminds discuss the captaincy.

If Murphy gets half the protection that someone like Mitchell or Hodge gets we see him starring week in and week out!

Those guys stand up for themselves. You don't see them fall over and get up real slow when they get pushed around.

If Hodge gets hit the offender is surrounded by Hodge's team-mates in seconds. If either Mitchell or Hodge get put down one of their team-mates will pick them up just as quickly.

Our blokes run on by Murphy, but not just Murphy, Judd, Carrazzo, etc., etc..

They run on by anyone who is put down, so much so the TAC should consider using a clip of Carlton playing as a message to embarrass the gutless people who flee the scene of an accident!

I expect that may be one of the deficiencies Bolton addresses first up.

This is just my own personal view but I reckon a "Judd" type leader is exactly what we need with this new group. Firstly, by Judd like, I mean one who lets his footy do the talking. He brought players with him through his behavior and actions during the week and on game day. I think the new crop that has been brought in seem to be self motivated and professional enough that they dont need the Johnathan Brown type of booming voice constantly in their ears. They all seem talented and driven enough to warrant and respond best to the Judd style of leadership. This is why I reckon if Murphy just focuses on footy again and can get back to the way we all know he can play, he will bring these guys with him ala Judd. Hope this makes sense.

It makes sense. Your basically saying actions speak louder than words and if Murphy can lead by example with his actions, he doesn't need to say much to inspire players to perform. I hope we have a skipper picked over the next few seasons that will help us get some score on the board with victories. Kreuzer doesn't sound like a bad option if he can stay on the park with maybe Simpson as VC. If Murphy doesn't get the gig.
