No doubt cookie. I guess my point is that either :
a. Murphy isn't that bad, or
b. He is bad, which means the rest of our recent teams, past and present, have been positively dire in terms of leadership.

I don't think our ranks were exactly bursting with leadership potential P. I have confidence though that this is being seriously addressed but it just takes a bit of time, especially with the focus on youth.

Or was he trying to get the designated minder to do his job; I don't really see Gibbs as the right match up for Dusty, not that we have to worry about that anymore 

I'm in two minds about how to deal with Dusty.  I think Thry has a point about not being Dusty-centric; stop his team mates and his influence will be limited.  However, I don't think he can be left to run riot, particularly when he goes forward.

I reckon Alex Silvagni could be the man for the job, but perhaps only when Dusty goes forward.  A tag team of Ed Curnow, Kennedy and perhaps Byrne could put some pressure on him in the midfield.

The answer is B but our future looks to be in good hands.

Including Judd, ever the obedient one.

One has to wonder why, despite never ending proclamations of a full cultural reset, big big changes at the club's upper levels, unprecedented levels of player turnover, the club cannot find one player, not a single one, to replace Murphy the Marshmallow as captain ? 60, 70, 80 ? players have worn the Navy Blue in the last few years, and yet here we are.

Maybe the problem isn't Murphy ?

They used to do it to Judd.

This was the main reason 2012 was so embarrassing.

Think back to the St. Kilda game where they went after ED curnow and ended his game.  Then they smashed Carrazzo, and later on Murphy copped the same treatment.

Do the same to Richmond.  Smash the little twerps into the ground!!

Who could forget a few years ago when Gibbs started a brawl with the bombers on the siren then Mitch Robinson came into back him up and Bryce jogged off to let him fight them on his own?

Should have traded the man bun back then.

Robinson, how good would it be to have him besides ACoS at the moment giving these kids some cover!

Rhetorically, why did Malthouse kibosh Robinson yet allow players like Didak, Shaw, Swan, Thomas and Beams stay at Collingwood, didn't they all lie to the coach at some stage?

I just saw footage of the brawl for the first time, not sure why our boys felt the need to lie.
