Re: Worst Leaders in the AFL!

Barker thinks Murphy is doing a pretty good job as skipper:
Barker also praised midfielder and skipper Marc Murphy who will notch his 200-game milestone against the Hawks.
"Marc Murphy is an outstanding Carlton person. I can do nothing but congratulate him on such an outstanding achievement," Barker said.
"His leadership over the last six or seven weeks, since I've taken over, has been outstanding. His want to drive this place to a better standard has been nothing but first class."
I was surprised that no-one commented on Murphy's leadership after the Richmond game when he was 'miked-up' before the game. I was very impressed with the way he went about his work. It was apparent that he has the respect of the players and is very much a natural leader.
