Carlton Supporters Club

@ Wallsy

Some interesting theories there Wallsy. Personally I think we could well expect something of the unexpected in that the club has stated that it is "in a hurry" and so may be tempted to try and pull a rabbit or two out of the hat.

Speculation will certainly run wild if Murph is not re-appointed and makes way for someone else, especially Gibba!

I have difficulty imagining the captaincy being taken away from Murph against his will, especially if he is to be replaced by Gibbs. If it is going to happen then I would have thought that it is at his own request or with his agreement as part of an arrangement that he is included in. We'll see soon enough.

Opo supporters would have a field day if "Squibbs" (their name for him not mine) was made Captain.

Not just opposition supporters - I've seen Bryce referred to by that name on here.

Gibbs is way tougher than Murphy.

The sad thing for me is that they are tough to split when it comes to toughness. Not in a good way obviously.

Whilst there seems to be a certain amount of poo-pooing Murph because (among other things) he doesn't measure up to Hodge, if you have a few minutes, have a look at the 2015-2016 Captains of the other 16 teams. How many of those guys measure up to Hodge ? Not one that i could see. The King Sniper is a highly desirable, but possibly unfair standard.

X2.  and he's a lot tougher than given credit for.

Only two comparable to Murphy is the other Murphy (Bob) who is an inspirational speaker and Swallow who gets the same criticism from North fans as Murphy does.

The rest of the captains are as tough as nails.
